Young but strong. How well it would obey her commands and stay by her side was debatable. But it's youth and strength counted in its favor, and so she named it Mandla, which in the language of the spirits of the forest meant 'Strong'. He was going to be a handful, that was for sure, but as long as his spirit spoke to hers, and she remained in control of its youthful exuberance.Together with the powerful husky, Avril and Pender had made their way back into the Witchwood in search of Jorr. And found something entirely unexpected. The whole scene that played before her eyes affected her on so many levels, that by the time she was leaving, a single glistening tear had rolled down her cheek. It reminded her why she did what she did - that even in the deepest, darkest places of the forests and the world, there was still beauty. She didn't want to leave this place - it felt so secure, so strong, so calm. But she knew she needed to. And, at Pender's comments, she indicated as much."Terrible words, Pender?" she asked, "In a way. But they carried the beauty of hope in them as well. If the spirits of the Forest are with us, the Mother is too. And no force in this land can subdue her. Or at least none that I am aware of. And that, to tell the truth, frightens me." She took a deep breath and knelt down to cuddle Mandla. The strong dog reacted strongly to her touch, almost bounding over her. She gave it a stern look, but did not reprimand the gesture. "Yes, let's return to the others." Without a further word, and deep in thought, Avril joined Pender on the journey back.[SBLOCK=OOC] OOC: I'm a little confused as to the timing of events. I would assume that Avril would've searched for Jorr on the second day after calling Mandla, so by the time Drelin's Ferry evacuates, Avril and Pender are there to see them off? It makes sense to take a look while the trails would be visible. I'll post again once I get confirmation of this.Spells and Abilities Active:Spells Cast and Abilities/Items Used:Spells Prepared:Spells Prepared (Normal 5/3/3/2, Wis 0/1/1/1):Level 0 (5): Cure Minor Wounds (2), Detect Magic (2), GuidanceLevel 1 (4): Cure Light Wounds, Enrage Animal, Faerie Fire, Produce FlameLevel 2 (4): Barkskin, Bull's Strength, Bear's Endurance, Flaming SphereLevel 3 (3): Call Lightning, Cure Moderate Wounds, Sleet Storm<a href="http://www.enworld.org/showthread.php?t=206218" target="_blank">Avril's Character Sheet</a> [/SBLOCK]</blockquote>
