Eight days. He had been on the road - no, on the run - for eight days, from the start of the journey to now. Flyyn was careful to rest only when it was imperative to his well-being, for whatever had chased him out of the Lya Pointa ruins had the full intention to hinder said well-being. So of course he wanted to ditch his pursuers.
A leather pouch was strapped over his body, secured with more snaps and latches than a pouch with any ordinary cargo required. The Werecain's goggles were pulled over his eyes, protecting them from any particles bursting in without an invitation; several little notches and buckles to adjust the size were riddled along the leather and copper material, and the lens were flexible but hard to break, stretching to be flat when the rims were enlarged, and curved outward when shrunk.
The rich dark brown fur covering Flyyn's body nearly obscured both the pouch and the goggles whole; dense and medium in length, and with few markings of nobility. The spikes that protruded from his body too were brown, though with a more silvery tinge. Buffets of air from running so fast threatened to push his single ear flat against his head and neck, but he strived to keep it someone open to catch the sound of anyone who had managed to keep up with him. Fortunately, this was not the case.
Finally satisfied with how far he had outrun what he could only assume were malevolent cultist, the runtish Werecain came to an abrupt halt. Something caught his attention immediately - a layer of fog which hadn't bee there, and the scent of damp forestry. Had he truly fled so far to reach the edge of the Whisper Forest? Well apparently he had - here he was. Turning his gaze to the west, there was no sign of any life, particularly angry, robed life with dark magic that threatened to melt his hide not-so-clean off. If they were to reach this far eventually, would they risk entering the forest?
"Only one way to find out," Flyyn rumbled to himself. Teeth bared in a wide grin of mad enthusiasm, he knocked his goggles up his forehead and bounded into the thicket.
An hour passed - or was it two? Had it even been an hour? Flyyn halted and tilted his head up to try and see the sky. No good, the fog that had engulfed a majority of his sharp eyesight walled the sky completely. He shook his head. Maybe this hadn't been a good idea; people had after all been rumoured to disappear in these woods. Well, if it sucked him in, too, he wouldn't really need the reward for what was strapped nice and cosy against his chest, would he? Lowering his head back down, the Werecain trekked forward, though with a hair more caution and awareness than he'd had previously.
