Slowly, Selk stirred from his slumber. His head was on a soft patch of grass, warmed by his head. Sylla must have gotten up in her sleep, probably to get salmon from the nearby lake. She did love her salmon. Selk stretched his body before standing up. The fresh smell of the grove filled his nostrils, and he sighed happily. The trees here twisted and turned, almost seeming to touch the sky. The sky was almost blotted out by the leaves of the tree, but there were a few places where the light shined through. That was another thing Selk liked about it. As he stretched his arms, cracked his back, and let out a deep yawn, he felt his stomach grumble. He smacked his lips together, and scratched his back as he began to walk after the path Sylla had left. It was rather hard to miss. As he walked along the path that she had left, he recalled the fondness of scaring their first intruders off together. 

Selk had transformed into a rather large bear, dwarfing Sylla in size, and he guarded the entrance. Sylla, however, came around from the back. The horror magic that Selk had known at the time was rather... primitive, and so he had to be really close. But despite the primitive nature of it, he found himself casting it while in his bear form. Combined with the natural amplification to his magic, it warped the minds of the intruders in a manner that made Selk and Sylla appear as six story tall bears, which caused one of the intruders to faint. The other ran directly into the arms of Sylla, who in turn, ate him. Selk smiled as the memory trailed off, and he found himself next to Sylla, who had a mouth full of salmon. She let loose a low growl, before dropping one into Selk's hands. He bit into the meal, and smiled. It tasted fresh. He liked that. Selk thanked Sylla, and pet her head. She let out a low, but not intimidating, growl in response, letting Selk know that the gesture was welcome.
