The mists were long and unending. The world was pugnent and rich smelling. A thin moss covered everything.

The Storyteller paused and adjusted himself as red blood sand ran through his hands forming into a pile on the ground. The children were gathered around him listening as the desert night howled around them....

A young warrior of the Gahlan Clan named Kevr was on his first hunt. He and the twelve other boys had set off three days before hand. The mist gathered around them as they slept. Many times on the hunts one or two boys would dissappear. The price of the forest.

Many of the older boys nodded. They remembered The Laws of the Wilds. It was taught to the them after the first part of the right of passage....

He killed a boar as did all of the boys who set out on the last part of the Zii'jr they disobeyed the Zii'jr though. They ate the flesh of what they caught and the Forest was not pleased. The mists surrounded them as the boys were presented with the ultimate test. The Hyan'ka they defied the Laws of the Wilds now they had to defy Death herself.

Many of the younger boys shivered alongside the older boys thinking of the Hyan'ka the Warrior's Passage.....

OOC: Y'all RP some of the boys. I'm RPing Kevr and I'm RPing Death, Honor, and Glory too. Just come up with their basic personality and ask me for a name after telling me a little about them. Well have at it.
