Nocturnis's Current Bio Code (27/09/17)
"Nocturnis!"
Dammit.
Why can I never get a good night's sleep?
"Nocturnis." But there was no mistaking the tone in my mate's voice. Something had gone awry. Again.
"What's wrong?" I raised head and turned my head to face her. She looked a little washed out. Stressed.
"Nocturnis, a familiar has gone missing." I frowned.
"Who? Rashir? That bird is always wandering off-"
"No, it was the Nameless. You know, the psywurm." Twiggs's familiar, a magma runner named Starfire, peered around the side of her neck and gave a soft chirrup from his position on her shoulders. My own familiar was elsewhere, off on one of her trips. I narrowed my eyes.
"Are we sure he hasn't just wandered off?" She shook her head.
"We're fairly certain. Scents, tracks - Something's afoot." I grimaced.
"Get Foxstar and we'll head out to look."
~~~\-/~~~
"So... do we have any more information, or did you expect us to wander blindly after him?" Foxstar raised her eyebrows at Twiggs as she trotted after us, her dainty paws picking through the undergrowth like she'd been doing her whole life.
"Not really but..." Twiggs looked around at the woods, "I think a wendigo might've strayed from the Ghostlight Ruins. Hence why it's us three and no one else. We've got more a chance." Foxstar grinned.
"So you two didn't just bring me along for my witty banter? Oh joy." I flicked my tail uneasily.
"Apparently not. If there is a wendigo, we can't simply wander loose." I stopped talking as we reached the scene. A Will-o-the-Wisp flickered past, futher illuminating the large pawprints that had been pushed deep into the soft earth. There was the metallic tang of blood on the air. I gave a thin smile.
"Grand. Well, go do your stuff Foxstar!" She gave me a look.
"Whatta you expect me to do? Solve the crime?"
"No well, I meant your sense of smell. You're a fox-ish aren't you? You have a nose." She rolled her eyes and opened her mouth to speak.
"Okay, shut up you two, it'd probably be easier to follow the very visible tracks, no?" Twiggs moved on ahead without looking back. I shrugged and fell in behind her.
