blood on the ice {Seasonal Event!}

If that bulletin was any kind of accurate, there were many things to prepare for in the coming weeks. They needed to stay warm, needed to gather food... She was certainly going to be checking with her family, to find out where she could help prepare them for whatever this longnight was. It sounded dangerous (piquing her curiousity painfully), and she wanted to know that she and everyone she loved would survive the unfamiliar event... but today?    Today Ashe felt like every muscle was coiled too tightly, something in her snapping and crackling dangerously. Her magic emulated her mood, sparks hissing and bouncing all over her body in her dark mood. Today was not a day for visits, for talking to anyone. Maybe tomorrow would be better, maybe tomorrow she could look at her family and take their disappointment without snarling... but today the wolf ruled, and she was hungry.    Breath clouded in front of the wolf's jaws as her paws stepped silently on blanket of snow that had settled over the forest floor. Full of tension, she raised her nose to the air, ears swiveling and tracking the sounds of the forest that resounded in the silence of the snowfall. Her nose quivvered as she tasted a trace of what they sought: deer.    The wolf had caught the scent of them on a frozen wind as she watched the sunrise that morning, working herself back to some kind of humanity after she suffered through another few hours of sleep. She and Kalt couldn't miss the chance at large game to get them through the longnight, and it was the perfect opportunity for her to work out some... aggression. Training was well and good, but there was more she needed.    Ashe flicked an ear and turned golden eyes up at the man by her side, watching him carefully. She nudged her nose into his thigh and turned her head to the east, ears perked forward sharply. She let out a soft and quiet bark before she lifted her nose and sniffed at the passing wind. This way, she seemed to say, and her lip twitched with anticipation. Ashe
