The trees rustled, the only warning sign the monk would get. From the branches, a large, bestial man swung himself into the path of the monk. Udyr rolled his head and stood up, staring at the traveler. The large crimson bear paw print, the sign of the Hirana monastery, could be seen on his hakama. Udyr's eyes scanned the man quickly, and upon recognizing him, gave him a silent nod.
The man stopped in his tracks and turned to face Udyr. He lifted his covered hands and then respectfully bowed at the animal spirit.
Zanorin would then continue on his path towards the capital unless interrupted.

"Memories?"
The beast man released Tilly's head. He walked over and sat down in front of her, staring at the woman. "What memories could you have of the forest?"
-------------------------------------------
Udyr would let out a loud bark that echoed throughout the forest. Any animal that looked out from the shrubbery would instantly back away from the monk. The beast man's command was clear: The monk will pass unharmed.
With that said, Udyr sauntered back into the forestry, cricking his knuckles.
The proof that the state is a creation of nature and prior to the individual is that the individual, when isolated, is not self-sufficing; and therefore he is like a part in relation to the whole. But he who is unable to live in society, or who has no need because he is sufficient for himself, must be either a beast or a god.
"I used to play in this forest as a child, it was not too far from my village." Tilly replied, staring at the Animal Spirit. "Of course I never delved this deep into them, but they served as a get away place none the less." Tilly then let out a sigh. "Most of what I remember, however, is plagued by what Noxus did to Ionia... flashes of this same forest set ablaze still haunt me."

Udyr let out a loud chuckle and then grew into laughter. He shook his head. "The Noxians did not do that." He pointed at and then tapped his chest. "We did."

Tilly blinked and looked off to the side, and it was only then did she see the smoke of the fire Udyr mentioned. It was billowing up into the sky... Tilly's eyes went wide as she heard the screams that plagued her fill her ears once more, the sight of the bloody soldiers, the stench of death. Tilly clamped her hands over her face to block the view, but the screams didn't fade away. She began to quiver, silently begging that they would go away.
She no doubt looked weak, and she hated herself for it, but the war held a death grip on her mind and heart. She wondered if she would ever be free from it.
As the beast man set the forest on fire, Elise narrowed her crimson eyes before hopping from her web and slinking her way out of the forest, her spiderlings soon following.

Udyr raised an eyebrow and grunted aloud. "What is it that ails you? Have you eaten something raw? It is only fire and death: Nothing to fear."

Relatively deep in the forests of Ionia stands an explorer wandering about, trying to find....well, even he wasn't sure what to find. Noticing the rumbling sound coming from his stomach and the squirrel on a nearby tree, Nathan drew his hunting knife.
sorry little guy...
With expert precision and skill, the explorer threw the knife in a similar fashion to a ninja. The sight would have been mildly impressive if it wernt for the fact that the squirrel was hit by the handle of the knife instead of the blade. Nevertheless, the squirrel fell from the tree and landed on the ground in front Nathan
...well at least i still get lunch!
wasting no time, Nathan retrieved the knife and skinned the squirrel after making sure it was dead. he then begins to start a fire, hoping to cook his latest catch.

A loud rustle from the brush would prick Nathan's ears. This was followed by a grunt and a grumble. What creature could be in the bushes?

From the bushes, a familiar beast man emerged. Udyr was glaring daggers at the man before him. He let out a loud growl of exasperation. "What are you doing here? No no, let us guess."
The beast man cricked his fingers. "You wanted to find the beast man and ask him another pointless question! Udyr, how do you live in the woods? Udyr, how do you punch so hard? Udyr, why can't we stop asking you incessant, nonsensical questions and respect boundaries?"
The beast man cracked his knuckles and allowed his body to burst into flames. "Tell us why we should not kill you here and now."

Nathan hastily stands up and slowly backs away from Udyr in obvious concern for his safety.
K-kill me!? now why would you want to do something like-
Suddenly Nathan looks down to his half-skinned squirrel
ooooooh...you must be one of those animal rights people! you're probably wearing that bear pelt, which is probably fake since you like animals, and those tattered clothes to personify and make fun of the "Evil, crazy, uncivilized animal hunters and killers" or something. The fire is a nice touch as well!
Nathan sheaths his knife but still hold on to the handle just in case.
Ok ok, look. I was just really hungry ok? I was only going to eat the squirrel. Now if we both calm down and promise not to do something barbaric, I promise that I won't sell this pelt to some Zuanite factory to turn it into a hat or something. Deal?

"...So you don't know who we are?" Udyr stared at the man, perplexed for the first time in a long time. "You have no idea who you speak to?"

It was a rare opportunity for most to see such an event, but Udyr was stunned. He let out a grunt of surprise and shrugged his shoulders. "Some may think that. It matter not."
His voice took on its usual, growl-like tone as he asked, "What brings you here, then?"
