-S. J. Tucker, "Wonders"
(P.S. Have any white lupins with an orange-range neck, somehow? Go here)

Glowing red eyes blink slowly at North Star, then an oversized sludgeamander lurches forth from the den into the rain. Its mouth yawns open and slimy knucklebones tumble out at the Bracchus' feet. The sludgeamander wetly smacks its lips together and retreats back into the den with what you can interpret as a satisfied expression.
"Oooh, excellent! A lovely treat for you!" says Eeries excitedly. The Spookitty spins in the air. Then, sheepishly, Eeries adds: "I, uh, can get you a towel..."

Smudge enjoyed his time in the Guiding Star Pack's territories. The wolves were friendly and the market was filled with delicious smells and pleasant music and chatter. At the direction of Kuiper and Aphelion, he made his way to the stage and enjoyed the tale told by the little Zerda.
The crowd gasped when the eyes appeared, but Smudge stood firm. He would not run!
[I was taking a look at your dens and I really like this wolf if she'd like to join the Grove?]

The glowing red eyes vanish briefly then reappear in bright blue. The rattle of bones and beads fills the air and Chandra bursts forth from the den! She draws something from her robes at her chest and tosses it at the Zerda's feet. One of the bottles hits a rock and cracks. Eugh! That stinks!
"Eek! Maybe step back from that!" Eeries cries. The Spookitty frantically pulls you away from the broken bottle of spores. "Well, that was almost more trick than we could handle! I'll grab you a fresh one..."
