[Chr24] CHR24: Stalking in the woods

Stalking in the woods 

Haldír and Murochi paired up together to check on their Christmas tree for this year’s Christmas celebration. Both of them ended up taking out the tree realizing it looks like a wreckage. The tree was no longer a tree as it have been bent into the wrong direction. The branches was broken off. The tree was not fit for being dolled up with Christmas decorations at all. It seems the tree have been crushed by something heavy in the storage they own. 

Murochi looks so unhappy and starts to sigh. “Haldír I think we need to go out and hunt for a new Christmas tree, this is not working at all.” Haldír looks at Murochi and smiles, and then he says “I think we will find the perfect tree for our Christmas celebration but let’s invite a few friends along the trekking into the woods”. Haldír and Murochi went and got on the right equipment for the trekking and tools to get the new tree down easy in the woods. They then went to their friends house where Silmádur lives, he is a big dire buckleo with very light fur which shines clearly in the dark. He comes upoutside of his house and greets both Haldír and Murochi. He then looks at them and smiles “Why are you two out now on Christmas Eve?” He says in a very soft tone. Haldír and Murochi looks at each other and then at the dire buckleo. Murochi smiles and go towards Silmádur and says “We need to find a new tree as the old one is broken after being stored wrong in our very small storage space”, she then looks at Silmádur and shows her worry. 

Silmàdur smiles towards them both and meets them outside his garden. “Let me join you then on the journey to the woods to find a new tree” he says and runs inside his small cottage. When coming out he is not alone but also have the tools and equipment for the long journey. Another arctic buckleo have joined them on the journey and he smiles towards all three of them. “ Hi! My name is Rhaerax, I'm Silmádur’s roommate and I heard about you guys needing to find a new tree for the Christmas celebration” he says in a warm and a welcoming tone. 

All four of the bucks heads towards the forest and starta their journey through the thick snow and to the forest for finding a new tree. They someone feels like someone is stalking them, and looking at them from the road before they went inside the forest. Silmádur looks worried and looks behind them for a little while and then they all continued until they had arrived in the forest. All of the bucks lighted a fire in their lanterns to carry while looking around in the forest. 

All four of them stays close ish while they look for a tree that might fit for a Christmas celebration. Murochi was thinking on how important it is to have enough branches to put the Christmas decorations on it. Rhaerax couldn’t shake the feeling that someone was watching them. He switched to his cursed form and went around to find the one that was stalking them. Silmàdur noticed that his roommate has turned into his cursed Hilos boost dino form as Rhaerax’s footprints for bigger and had a heavier tail dragging behind. 

Murochi, Silmàdur and Haldír kept searching in the forest for the perfect tree. Murochi then got her eyes finally on the perfect tree and hurried over. “Here guys, I finally found the perfect tree” she shouted and Haldír and Sílmadur hurried over to her. Rhaerax finally also came over in his cursed Hilos boost form carrying a small arctic buckleo pup that seems to be lost in the forest. Rhaerax then dropped the pup and turned back to his original form looking at the others. Murochi looked at her half brother and got surprised to see a small arctic buckleo pup looking so afraid. Rhaerax turned to the rest, and said in a friendly tone “This one doesn’t have any family anymore and followed us here in the forest for being curious at what we were doing” he said and looked friendly down at the pup. 

Murochi smiles and says “Let's adopt the little one and throw the best Christmas celebration ever”. Everyone expect from the small pup got ready to chop down the tree and to drag back to Silmádur’s small cottage outside of the forest. The boys, Rhaerax, Haldír and Silmàdur dragged the tree to the cottage and Murochi carried the small pup on her back. When they got to the cottage they set up the tree, went and fetched Christmas decorations from the storage not far away (2 min away ish). The small pup’s eyes lightened up and smiled while it also helped to finish the tree with decorations. They all had a very cozy and nice Christmas eve with their ever growing extended family.
