As you pad along the wooded trail, the cool day hangs about the land, a light breeze blows, rustling the leaves of the great forests that surround you. All is green and peacefully quiet save the chirping of songbirds from above.You pad deep through the woods.... to the west, the sound of running water can be heard. To the east, dense forest that extend for miles. The forest thins out and becomes sparse, affording a limited view.
Rounding the bend in the path, you see it winding down the slope before you, each step downwards bringing the sound of the river closer. The path you are following takes a right turn to the north and spreads out into a lightly snow-covered meadow. In the meadow is a pond with a brook to the west branching off of it, all being fed by large, beautiful natural springs. You tread carefully down the narrow path leading to Druids Mist... as you stand before it, you are filled with a sense of awe. This place is sacred, once the site of ancient rituals, now it is protected by the Druids pack.
The wind flows in your fur, ruffling the trees around you. Truly there is no better view than that of wolves lying peacefully in a clearing surrounded by woods and mountains, with springs to the left. You stop to breathe deeply of the intoxicating jamsmine and gaze at the sights before you. The dawn is breaking and the mists over the valley are eagarly rising to greet the morning sun. The sun breaks and you notice a glittering light within the clearing. It catches your eye and you pad forward. Before you, in a small clearing stands a lone standing stone, its surface sparkling with quartz.
Turning your head west towards the sound of water, you pad over to its source. A large spring of sparkling water burbles up from the ground, forming a stream of water that drifts downhill, winding it's way through the clearing. Looming behind that is a huge mountain range that wraps its way three quarters of the way around the clearing, ending at the dense woods.
The path stops here... Shall you continue you way into the Druids Territory?
