In the deepest part of the north forest, you find yourself stumbling about through the trees, having lost the path you were originally on in the beginning. The tree branches above you filter out most of the sunlight so you easily stumble over fallen logs. You pause briefly to steady yourself but then hear a rustling noise just behind you. At first, you assume it's a squirrel or something but then there's a slight growling. You hesitantly turn around.
Before you stands a small canine creature, a young cub, with teeth bared and fur bristled. She gives a loud snarl and flicks her ears forward agressively.
"You better not be harming my home, human," she says acidly, red eyes narrowing as she looks you over. "I may not be big, but I won't let anyone harm these lands. Including you." The young cub snarls again but softer this time. You try to explain to her that you mean no harm. She stops baring her teeth at you and relaxes a little but keeps her glaring red eyes fixed on you.
"Very well. I'm Saos, an Azama Spirit...the first and only one here in the Distance. I expect that others of our kind will eventually find their way here, but only time will tell. I enjoy being alone anyway," she says forcefully, like she's daring you to prove otherwise.
