I edited my first post after seeing some other peoples because I think it would be good to be able to rp a bit of the journey ;D

Kiyiya's paws thundered across the forest floor throughout the night, the forest eventually giving way to the rolling plains and soft mud of the riverbank as we followed the river northeast. The call was strong within my mind, it became something that threatened to swallow me whole and wash away my sense of self if I let it overwhelm me. I could vaguely get the sense of confusion coming from Kiyiya about where we were going and why, but I didnt know what to tell her. It didnt make sense, but it was something that couldnt be denied, and though a part of my mind screamed at the that it could be a trap I was powerless to deny it. And so we ran on through the night.
As the sky in front of us began to lighten, Kiyiya finally began to slow and stop to rest under a grove of weeping willow trees on the bank of the river. Jumping down off her back I felt the urge to continue to run towards the place on the northeast horizon that tugged at my heart, but I was exhausted also, mentally most of all. It was taxing trying to hold onto myself without losing myself in the call completely. I wondered if it were somehow stronger for me due to my skill with Sending. I fell to my knees in the soft grass under the trees, and listened to the panting and lapping of water from Kiyiya. Whatever was calling me would obviously take more than a days journey. We would have to wait out the day and rest until night once again. Thankfully I didnt smell any humans nearby, so this should be a safe camp for the day.

As I lay down on the grass and prepared to rest as much as I could until nightfall I heard the sounds of something approaching. Suddenly alert despite my tiredness I crouched behind the trunk of the great tree and peered around it through its wispy branches. I needn't have worried, because it was another wolfrider, also riding his wolf. I called out to him in a send, and as he neared I saw that Mist had followed. He slid quietly off his wolf and studied me as I came out from behind the tree. <>Mist?<> I sent to him, puzzled. <>Do you also feel the pulling?<> He nodded and spoke softly. "I also see a castle almost like a Send in my mind. What could it be?"
I shrugged as I glanced over at the wolves which, having drank their fill of the river, lay down in the shade of the tree and quickly fell asleep. <>Something tells me it might be the Palace of the High Ones, from what the elders say the pull from it is strong. But I dont know how it would be this strong all of a sudden.<> I paused, wondering if I should share with him my worries about the call. After all, I wasnt sure about anything yet and there wasnt any use worrying someone for no reason. In the end though I decided it was for the best to tell him, since it was a possibility. <> Im afraid it might be a trap, but even if it is I cant stop myself from going. If I wasnt ready to collapse right now I...<> As if to punctuate my send, my legs began to shake and I was forced to sit down in the grass again. Sighing I gave in to my tiredness and curled up under the tree near my wolf-friend.
I heard Mist sigh as he sat down on the grass beside his wolf. "We will have to camp for the day." It was quiet for a moment, the only sounds being the water lapping on the bank and the wind whispering through the treebranches. After a long moment he spoke again. "I got the sense there were others nearby when we travelled last night. We should travel as a pack, it would be safer for all of us if we were all together." I nodded, my eyes closed and began an open send to any elves nearby inviting them to come to the grove near the river. I sent a picture of the spot and scent markers that would show them the way, but I didnt mention the Palace. If the ones who travelled with us werent receiving the call I didnt want to have to answer questions I didnt even know the answers to.

As I got ready to sleep once again, my stomach reminded me angrily that I missed the nightly hunt and therefore didnt have anything to eat all night. But I was far too tired to even think about hunting anything, and the call still tugged on my soul so I didnt trust myself to hunt even if I had the energy. I only hoped I didnt have to endure much more of this.

Ok, the open send was directed at JT and Elfs char, since theyre the only ones close enough for it atm. With my next couple of posts Ill try to have them get to the palace, since this journey shouldnt take too long. If I got your char wrong Ben, sorry, let me know and Ill fix it XD
