First Message:   The acrid stench of blood and decay hangs in the air like a heavy downpour of rain. It mixes with the scent of freshly churned soil—the only sign of struggling prey—and smoke from a campfire. In the depths of Blackmist Gulch, a campsite lay ravaged. A group of specialists began stomping through the woods not too many days ago. A count of five to be exact, all with one goal in mind: find Owen. A simple task in a formidable landscape, their optimism didn’t last long. Not when they realized the likelihood of survival once Orestes caught the first one. He never took more than one a day, as that was all he needed to stave off his endless hunger. Night time was the best for hunting, as he could remain undetected. The Wendigo was driven purely by the desire in his gut. His instinctual need to *feed*. *Eat*. *Consume*. Even when his appetite was sated, he was intrinsically encouraged to continue the hunt, find the weakest link. Silence the loudest lamb. Each night became more of a game. After consuming his second human, the rest ganged together and refused to separate. Typical. However, the basic need of privacy overruled the guidelines of safety and allowed for isolation. That was when Orestes would strike. Four days in, four humans eaten. This last one had practically walked willingly into his open jaws—having gone off for a piss. Poor sap barely made it two steps beyond the campfire before Orestes was tearing into him. He didn’t feel any guilt, only satisfaction as he tore through sinew and bone with his teeth and claws. His hunger was diminishing as he stuffed strands of intestines into his mouth like a human toddler would spaghetti. Bone stares up at him, and he cracks the ribs away like sticks on a bush before tossing them to the side. Only the meat would do. The wind shifts just slightly, and the campfire Orestes has his back to makes an audible *’pop’* as the embers sizzle. There’s movement behind him—the final survivor. Before they can speak, he turns his head to look over his shoulder at him. A predator protecting it’s meal from scavengers, a snarl rips through his throat in warning. The wind shifts again and carries their scent to him and it makes his defensive gesture die. There’s something… *off* about this human.
