Writing for Neverwinter for drawing Quad as a wolf. Enjoy!

---------------------------------------------------------------------

Once upon a lowly pine tree
A gentle crow stared down at me
He spoke his words so humbly
"Come follow me to your destiny."

The crow flew away from the pine
And lead me deep into Nature divine
My guide vanished quick but left me a sign
I was nearing the destiny I soon would find

I found him sitting on a pillar from above
The ruins of a temple honoring the Sun
And with a humble stare, his words begun
"Here is where your destiny will be won."

I was surrounded by moving sculptures of deer
They threatened me with their antlers here
I asked the crow, "How can I persevere?"
For I never expected to feel such fear

The crow spoke the words that filled my heart
"Confront anger with kindness, that is the start."
So I did what he said, and approached a stone hart
I faced my fear, though my body was overwrought

I kissed him on the forehead, the curse quickly lifted
And watched as the angry deer's body then shifted
They all sat around me, their eyes beautifully glistened
I had conquered their hatred with love unconditioned

"You have learned your lesson, now go out and show
The world the kindness and inspiration you know."
He gave me a look and spoke with a voice so low:
"That is the destiny of all who follow the crow."

Here's a story for Bluedeerlegend18 for drawing Quad as a wolf. I hope you don't mind having a non-TEF story, but I wanted to write this one for you since you said you love wolves. Also these songs inspired the story: Journey Man and Pine Woods, both by Korpiklaani. (I hope the links are okay, if not I'll fix them when I get home tonight. No sound on the computer I'm at)

Enjoy

I have been hiking for three days now. It has been quite the adventure, but I have to admit, things have gone downhill since yesterday, so-to-speak. The first two nights camping were fine. I had no problems finding a place to camp, having plenty of food and supplies for this adventure, pitching my tent at the right time so I didn't lose any daylight...

Well, the circumstances have changed. Last night I was awoken by the sounds of a bear. It had sniffed out the food I had brought with me, and when it started to rip my tent apart to get to my supplies, I had to cut through the other side of my tent to escape. I took my backpack with me so I'd be able to find my way back.

Since first daylight, I've gotten lost. I can't even find my campsite, I left many of my supplies there, I'm sure all of my food has been eaten by the bear and raccoons. I'm ready to go home. Looking through my backpack, I have a few supplies on-hand. I'm lucky to have my first-aid kit packed, and I still have my car keys. There's a little bit of beef jerky left, at least I have a little food. My water bladder is halfway full, so I've got some water available. Now where is...

Oh great. Just great. I left the map and compass at the campsite. Wonderful.

Let's see. There's some moss on this tree, so now I know which direction north is.

"I'm lonely" whispered little fawn whispered sadly to the Great Tree.
Wind seemed to burst stronger suddenly. Leaves and grass rustled violently. Ground trembled to the rhythm of the entrancing melody. A faceless, ageless voice seem to speak from space beyond perception.

"lonely? lonely? look around you, little one. The grass. The trees. The critters/ They are with you. How can you even dare say you;re lonely? lonely can be humans who indulge their weakness and do not let themselves grow stronger. You, we, nature..we are not lonely. This world is full of spirits and creatures...just listen to them,. You cannot ever be lonely or alone" .
