Cors Ossum make it stop

Mid-December (keeping the official day vague) Early afternoon, freezing Fog 1F/-18C, black storm clouds on the horizon. All welcome! This will be Aponi's last thread in the Ghastly Woods before she tries to cross the mountain again.

The yearling had been in the woods for weeks, no longer really looking for anything just disbelieving what she had found. Just as @Nova had said it was, the Keep wolves were nowhere to be seen and there wasn't a single sign of the pre-existing pack. The old den was abandoned and the scent's of the wolves who once lived there had long since worn away. Aponi slept there anyways, hoping that one day she would wake up and Mapplethorpe would be scolding her for lazing the day away. She didn't care for the other pack members and couldn't care less about where they ended up or if they were okay. The only thing the silver princess stuck around for was any sign that her father was alright and not dead as her sister professed him to be.

Day after day she patrolled what had once been their borders, wearing a track into the snow. Aponi never purposely left her scent behind but she knew the territory smelled of her as she had been haunting it for so long. Soon it would be time to move on and as her blue eyes watched the black clouds rolling in with wary eyes she knew it had to be before dark. Last year the whole pack had almost died trying to flee the mountain and the yearling knew just how dangerous the weather could be once in the higher altitudes.

Nodding to herself once Aponi made up her mind, she would do one last circuit before beginning the journey up the mountain. If she was lucky she could make it to the Pass not much after darkness fell. Most wolves would have been lonely after being alone for so long but the silver fae found that she kind of enjoyed it, at least when she wasn't shivering so hard she couldn't sleep. She had no one to answer to, no parents with expectations, no mate or pack enforcing rules upon her, she could do whatever she pleased. Yet even with this new freedom she anguished over the thought of her father decaying somewhere. It couldn't possibly be true; she wouldn't accept it. Little did she know that Aponi stood just feet from where her sister had laid his body to rest. Now the snow stood heavy upon his grave, covering the patch of ungrown dirt and bledning the spot into the scenery. Raising her muzzle to the sky she called for him to return to her, for the first time since she had gotten home she let the world know where she was.

Gonna throw Iddi in here to see how he compares to Oliver when interacting with her!

He has set off early today, hoping to pick up on Flyn's scent, despite the snow. Now that Titania was....relatively...safe, Riddick had to turn his attentions to his main priority- finding out if Flyn truly did kill Bastion. He had decided to start near the mountain and go along it's edge- where he had picked up a tiny whiff of his cousin's scent. He couldn't take too long in searching; dark storm clouds seemed to be on the horizon, and it wouldn't do to get caught in a storm so far from his sister.

Although, it seemed more and more all for naught, as all the Faye could pick up was the freezing absence of scent that snow brought on. Nose crinkled, Iddi tried to stick it underneath the snow, but that just left it cold and himself with a sense of childish foolishness. Would he really have to wait until spring to find him? "By the Moon..." he whispered under his breath. "Is this what it is to be delayed by Nature? Does she not want me to find him?"

His odd eyes could barely see in front of him, fog blinding both his sight and smell. And Iddi had to admit, he was out of his element- he was used to defending, not pursuing- he wasn't trained for this.

A lone howl drew his attention- another wolf was out here in this weather? Dull curiosity lead him towards the sound: perhaps they would know something of Flyn and his whereabouts...."Hello?"

Look out! A blizzard is coming your way!

The sky has been cloudy all day, the temperature has been dropping quickly, and now the winds are beginning to pick up. What began as just a few harmless snow flurries is quickly turning into an all-out blizzard. Quick! Seek out a safe shelter to ride out the storm. Be careful, though! Visibility is very low and it will be easy to get lost.
