[Ramirez De Zoro]

Ramirez De Zoro was in the middle of this forest, examining the trees in this area. He pulled out some odd looking scissors, and cut off a small branch. "Hmmm, unusually..." He pulled out a glass jar, and placed it into the jar. "Time to end the day." He walked over to a campsite, and placed his satchel in the tent, unaware that someone was near.

[Tempest]

Tempest was walking through the trees along a path, a terrified Zapp tailing him. Zapp was hunched over, his head bent down and his tail between his legs. "Oh, Tempest, do we really have to go through this scary forest? Why can't we just fly over it?" Tempest rolled his eyes and looked back at the cowering wolf. "Because you wanted to walk. You said that flying was such a bore and that you wanted to be on the ground." Zapp whimpered a little bit more. That was before we decided to stop in Guasto to la-What was that?!"

The wolf spun where it was standing and looked behind them. Tempest didn't see anything and decided that Zapp was just being paranoid. He looked down at the ground and saw a small stick that looked like a skeleton's hand. Trying hard not to laugh, Tempest silently picked up the stick and crept toward Zapp. He gently touched Zapp's back and scraped the stick down his back while he let out a loud moan. "GAH!" Zapp yelped, once again turned and barreled between Tempest's legs, making him trip. Tempest was trying to call him back, but he just couldn't stop laughing. Instead, he stood back up and ran after Zapp down the path, toward what looked like a tent in the distance.

Meanwhile, a lone skeleton walked across the path where Tempest and Zapp had just previously stood moments before and looked down. "Hey," it said in a hoarse whisper, "there's my arm! I've been looking for this." The skeleton picked up the arm, connected it to it's shoulder, and continued along it's way.

[Ramirez De Zoro]

Ramirez had heard a commotion around his camp, and got out to look around. He noticed a yellow wolf and a boy were running towards his camp. "Hmm, a yellow wolf... how unusually." he said to himself.

[Tempest]

Tempest caught up with Zapp. "C'mon, it was just a jo-" His sentance was cut short as he looked up and saw a man standing there. "Oh, sorry to bother you," Tempest said as he scratched his head, "we were just walking through when my friend was startled by something."

[Ramirez De Zoro]

Ramirez completely ignored what Tempest had said, and he just examined the wolf. "My my, I haven't seen anything like it. Where did you find this canine?"
