Leaves are beginning to fall, eternal summer wanes

Guest and an expedition party make their way into the deep forests, to explain the strange new phenomena of leaves falling at an unprecedented rate. Usually green all year round, they’d only ever lose a few leaves, if left untouched, but now they turn orange and come loose at the slightest breeze. This realm has only ever known summer, so for now, they search for the few ancient beings that can answer their questions

As you all wade through increasingly dense foliage, your group disappear one by one. Each disappearance becoming more stressful than the last, which only emboldens you to move quicker to safety. You become the last remaining expedition member and when you finally push through towering vines, you finally enter a clearing. In the center, a majestic pool that faintly glows with life, but the group stops when they see the figure of a beast emerge from the water, a crisp white coat of fur striped thinly with red streaks. The wolf watches you knowingly, but doesn’t quite match the imposing stature the legends speak so highly of. Her gaze almost seems wary, but it’s a feature she hides well.
