Guardian of the cave? When I woke up these people were the only ones here along with the skeleton of the dire wolf. Whatever was in there you needed to protect is probably long gone. Do you still have creatures in your river? Are they protected from whatever did this to the grass?”

[5]
"more accurately, im guardian for the cave," the nymph laughs.  "in the hierarchy of nature spirits, guardians are sleepless soldiers who watch for danger"   "and of course i still have creatures, the undead blackening doesnt reach to my river."  "and ifd i didnt have creatures i would look like a zombie." 

"I don't bathe often and sleep in places that aren't that clean, if you don't want me here just point out where the nearest town is and I'll leave."

Bill remained quiet for a while, pondering the flash he had seen. A sign of civilization, perhaps? But would they be friendly? At least the creature in front of them remembered how to use words. He would rather not have to fight their only source of information. Not yet, at least. Pondering long enough, Bill had a question of his own.

"Would you happen to know about the mountain in the distance? Does your river pass by it?"

"i also have no idea.  but if you and your friend go directly away from my river you will find a huge river and there you might be able to use your friends shell."

ignoring the nymph, I walk out of the semicircle, not approaching the river, just moving away a short distance out of the semicircle, and see if anything happens.

Naturegirl I just noticed your status.  You’re not bleeding.  If you We’re bleeding, I would have put some bolded text That said you were and I’m pretty sure I didn’t do that.

[Beirus]

Bill considered leaving right there for the big river. After all, if that place on the mountain was a city then surely they would need to know of his greatness. But the nymphs reaction made him wonder. It would be troublesome if they had to explain themselves every time. Thinking so, Bill had one more thing to ask.

"Beautiful nymph, I wonder if not all the beings in this forest would be as understanding and even-tempered as you. Could you possibly give us a token or some way to show them we mean no harm, even if we do appear as undead?"

You instinctively put your hand on the rabbit corpse.  Then you sink deep within yourself, deeper than ever before.  Suddenly you feel your mind hit something.  As soon as it hits, a sensation of hungry, ravenous cold envelops your mind.  Then, you feel a chill running down your arm.  When it gets to your fingertips it suddenly changes to warmth.  The rabbit goes cold and warmth races up your arm.  When it dissipates,  everything goes black.  Then there is light, and you see countless images rushing past.  Too many to recognize.  When you find yourself still, you are looking at yourself in the third person.  You are looking in at a roughly paved alley.  You are sitting at the wall to the right, hugging your knees and crying.  Then you hear a voice like two people speaking the same thing in unison.  “So your one of its experiments too, I see,” the voice says.  “When it couldn’t use you anymore it just threw you by the wayside, didn’t it.”  Your disembodied form and your past (your assuming it’s your past) self whip your heads in the voice’s direction.  You see a shadowy figure with wings?? And a tail?? You only half believe your eyes.    “How do you know what I’ve been through?” You hiss suspiciously.  The figure laughs and
sticks it’s hand into the light.  Both of you gasp.  The hand is red, scaly and clawed!  “I’m one of his experiments too.”
The vision then dissipates and you find yourself lying down alone in the clearing.  Too flustered to move.  You then notice a strange sensation: you feel more... more... powerful?
Valyrie gains +0.5 souls.
