Soulless Forest Altar
10-23-2022, 01:57 PM
Word of the these funky statues had spread like wildfire, and as an appreciator of the arts, Siobhan felt drawn to them. She'd waffled on which one she'd visit, but ultimately chose the path of least resistance and selected the one she was closest to at the time of their arrival. She fell in line with the other wolves that approached, trembling with excitement so much so that she worried her limbs would lock and she would hit the ground before her turn arrived. Sio was toting an elaborate artwork that she had brought once she'd learned wolves were leaving things behind to decorate the statues. Collaborative art was always exciting, unpredictable - she was thrilled to be part of it all. When the wolves ahead cleared away, Siobhan unrolled the item she had brought: it was a massive polar bear pelt. The fur was preserved well enough, not as stark white as it could have been, but the real work lay on the tanned hide beneath. Painted in the bear's own blood with some ochre and marigold accents was an intricate depiction of many different kinds of flowers. Sio had found the carcass and saved as much of the skin as she could before gathering pots of the congealed blood and later creating the painting after the hide had tanned. The art was then covered in a thin layer of beeswax, blurring the lines dreamily and preserving the work at the same time. It was her most ambitious piece to date and she left it behind with a bowed head. Ah, to be part of such creation!
NPC:
As the decoration is laid, the familiars move to begin their investigation. They pick through the pieces of the offering as carefully as possible as to not disturb the layout the wolf has chosen. Speaking amongst themselves in hushed whispers too soft for prying ears, the familiars are clearly discussing what their God might think of Siobhan’s decoration.
The crows began by grasping the pelt, cawing happily at the sight of the soft fur so skillfully tanned. It is not until they collectively turn it over to display it that a few gasps ring out through the crowd of familiars. One rat faints at the sight, landing upon the soft form of a shocked brother and taking them both to the ground. The crows quickly realise their mistake, turning the pelt back around to hide the painting behind. It looks like they are beginning to scrape something off with their talons, but your view is blocked by the approaching form of a large black cat with a prize in hand. She gives a small panicked chuckle and apologizes heavily, pushing the gift up into your paw. She encourages you gently to move on at your own pace, and while you linger, works hard to make sure her body is kept between you and the hard-at-work-editing crows.
