The Forest on Elk Ridge (Always Open)

[Zoketi]

Rzu turned to look at the bird. He curled more comfortably around the antler prongs. "Many thanksss." He hissed softly at Resora.

Zaru pattered down the tree. She entered her den, eyes alight with fear. Something in the forest was dreadfully wrong. Zaru looked sadly around her den, then grabbed a bundle of the most important herbs and stuffed them carefully into a woven basket. She sighed and gripped the basket in her mouth, then sped into the undergrowth.

[Misiziri]

Vesir stopped dead in his tracks, scenting the air again.

"Eeeew, what's that smell?" one of the calves said.

[KingKovu44]

Thor looked up. "Yes, that is an unusual smell," he commented.

[Misiziri]

Vesir shook his head from the intensity, "What does this smell like to you, Thor?"

[KingKovu44]

Thor shook his head. "Nothing like I've ever smelled before," he stated.

[Misiziri]

Vesir was confused, "What's up with all these weird smells on Elk Ridge? Ugh. Let's leave the area."

They marched a mile forward yet the smell still persisted.

[Zoketi]

Rzu rapidly flicked his tongue, tasting the smell. He couldn't put his tail on it though.

Aleeni snorted, attempting to get the scent out of her nostrils. It wasn't very pleasant. She tossed her head and kicked a little, glad to be among others.

Zaru raced through the forest, her fur a pale blur among the trees. Though carrying a basket, it was quite light. She found herself scenting a large group of animals ahead: elk.

[Misiziri]

Vesir's anger exploded, "This scent is unbearable! I feel dizzy from smelling this."

"Look, Vesir, through the clearing in the trees! That cloud is enormous!"

Vesir gazed up, "That big gray cloud? I haven't ever seen a cloud like that!"

[Zoketi]

Rzu gripped tighter as the elk looked up. He blinked at the shape in the sky, his tongue flicking.

[Misiziri]

"Look at how fast the clouds moving upwards!" Resora chirped loudly.

Vesir responded, "Definitely strange. I'm glad we decided to get out of Elk Ridge. This is unreal. Like some sort of weird, ignorant joke."
