This munchkin doesn't seem very happy. They prefer to go out at night, wandering around, guided by the glow of their lanterns and paint. The footprints they leave behind appear to give off a faint glow. A bow rests at their feet, unkempt and ruffled. Are they looking for someone?

"Ten for Ten." I called as I wandered in the woods looking for lost wolves like myself. It wasn't much, but it was a living for a wolf that once didn't have to make one. "Ten for ten." A young wolf, though much taller than me, wandered over. "why are you calling 'Ten for Ten?' She asked me baffled. "For Ten pennies Ten Guides lost wolves out of forest." I replied...It was unfortunate my thoughts are more articulate than my words. "What is you named, child?" She blinked and looked down.."Keileen....You can take lost wolves out of the woods?" she asked me again. "For Ten Pennies." I repeated...she hesitantly reached in her satchel and filtered through.."I don't have any pennies....will you take a quarter instead..?" I blinked and tilted my head. "a what?" I asked taking the shiny silver penny from her hand. "A- a quarter." she repeated. "it's worth 25 pennies." I blinked...that was more than I was used to making. "Yes, I's take quarters." I smiled. "You got your guide child; And a story I tells too." I began walking. Maybe this girl would understand and be able to tell me what to do next. I thought back to my creation and began to speak...
"Before I was. I wasn't wolf like you or anybody else in forest or city. I was what they say, Shadow beast, I remember life as it was, before I was. Before I be what I am now. Many wolf I guide through darkest parts of woods at night wonder how I can know how things be before I be. The answer is simple. A shadow beast be between fiction and reality. They hide in shadows and very few see beasts of such. But I be different from other shadow voices she say." The young wolf blinked interrupting my story. "who said?" she asked and I chuckled continuing despite the wolf being confused. "She be the old wise child." I replied. "She tell me I no like other shadow beasts. Other beasts generate negative feelings and eat hope and dreams until they all gone. I generate hope and light by eating bad feelings.. She say I am....let us say, encouragement. So she make me wolf." I lowered my gaze as we walked. "She say, If I keep working, one day I find the one I am looking for." The young wolf Keileen looked at me and blinked...."who...who are you looking for." I smiled. "maybe you, maybe someone else. She no tell me who I'm looking for. But tell me I find special wolf that understand me soon." Keileen smiled..."Well it's a nice story sir, but I don't think I'm the one you're looking for me." she put a small roll of strange paper in my hand. "It sounds though, a bit like one of the fairy tales my parents used to read to me when I was small. I think you are looking for love to make you a true wolf." she closed my hands on what she had given me and stared into my dull eyes. "I wish you the best of luck." I blinked and nodded. "thank you kindly Ma'm. Thank you." I repeated and watched as another young wolf called to her. "Keileen, where have you been? I need your help at the store." Keileen ran over and hugged him. "I'm sorry Melvin, I- I got lost again. " I smiled...I had often seen wolves reunited in such a way. I softly retreated behind the trees and watched. "You always get lost." the one called Melvin grumbled but he relaxed and hugged her. "A nice wolf helped me back for a quarter, he's right-" she stopped and stared where I had been. "Where did he go?" Melvin shook his head. "you probably made it up to not feel scared. Come on..." I watched as they left. Love? I wonder...

For a while the sound of the bells didn't really get to him much. His sibling even said they'd sounded nice, and that they indicated change in someone's life. Nexus had simply scoffed and told them that that was rather silly. The other insisted on the meaning with a smile on their face.

And then one day they didn't come home, and the ringing of the bells came to taunt him. Those stupid bells that his sibling had talked about so much.

He kept trying to block them out for days on end, to no avail. Night after night it kept him up, drove itself further into his mind, there to tear him apart. He hated every second that drove him further and further into a sleepless daze.

After many nights of losing sleep he decided to go after that stupid bell sound, equipping himself for the journey at hand. Well, more of just a simple errand, he guessed. After tossing a couple of batteries into the lights he kept in his lanterns {he wasn't that moronic as to actually put anything fire-based in his lanterns, they were attached to his tail!}, he set out the front door. The grass outside the small house ruffled beneath his feet as he set off on his adventure.

--
It was almost sunset by the time he'd actually made any real progress on his 'adventure', having barely made any leeway along the path leading through town. Once he'd managed to get through the little town {getting distracted by elderly townsfolk} he made his way into the woods. For some off-putting reason, the bell sound was strangely silent. It made him uncomfortable as he inched toward the treeline.

Once he stepped into the forest, the sound hit him once more - this time, full force. He stumbled back a little bit, biting back a screech as he covered his ears. Claws dug into his ears.

"STOP THIS!" He screamed out, body physically shaking. He was tired of this, he wanted it all to be over, his torment to leave him alone-

"Very well."

And abruptly, the sound cut off. After taking a second to recover, he removed his paws from his ears and looked up.

He certainly wasn't expecting someone like that.

He stared up at the larger figure that stood in front of him. He was... quite a sight to see (pun unintended), a massive creature with a bell for a tail and many bizarre eyes laid within his body. The creature stared at him before grinning, the neck on his eye watching the wolf closely.

"What, cat got your tongue?" He stated, tail shifting to the side. The faint sound of a bell could be heard as it moved. "Haven't you seen a demon before, kid?"
Nexus stared up at the other and swallowed. A demon, huh..? That certainly wasn't normal. He took another second to collect himself and to get a grasp on the situation. So he'd gone into the woods, and found a demon with a bell on his tail...

"...I haven't." He replied simply, watching the creature. The multi-eyed beast simply laughed and stared down at him - With more than just the three eyes on his face & neck. Nexus was... Disturbed, to say the least. At most, the temptation to run as far as he could from this hellbeast was massive. Taking a step back, the smaller wolf was caught off guard when the bell-tail wrapped around one of his legs.
"Not yet. We've got business to discuss, don't we?" The other stated. "You came out here for a reason. I know you have. You've been wanting to for as long as your sibling has been missing."
Nexus was uncertain. How'd this creep of a creature know his sibling was gone? He swallowed and looked up to the demon before nodding. "I-I care about them."

The tail unfurled from his leg and he righted himself, his tail lowering until the lanterns touched ground. The demon walked around the other for a few moments before laughing. "I can find them. As I'm a demon, of course."
Nexus' ears perked up. "You can?!" But then he paused. "...What would it cost?"

"You're smart. Of course, my price is rather simple... One of your eyes." the larger replied, laughing a little. "It'll be absolutely painless, of course. I may be a creature from Hell but I know my moral lines."
Nexus hesitated. Would finding his sibling really be worth the loss of his eye...? Being half-blind didn't seem too bad if that meant he got to see his sibling again.
"..Alright."

The demon narrowed his eyes before grinning. "Then it is done."

With a shake of Eyeris' tail Nexus jolted forward, vision going dark for a few moments. When he stood up, half his vision was missing, and a torn bow lay at his feet. He stared at it for a second before looking to Eyeris.
"The capital."
And with that, the demon was gone.

With that, he made his way to the capital.
