Awakening in the Woods (Hollow)

Xavier walked down through the forest with steps were as stealth as those of the wolves behind of them, with a calmed voice still feral he said.
"There's much you need to learn before fully understanding the meaning of 'Us', still the easy answer for your question is Yes, we're gathering with more of our kind.

The Beast slumbers within you and it will awaken with the least of the provocations, just like a rabid dog would, you can't reason with it, you can't train it. It's a wild nature that embodies everthing that is reckless and evil."

The forest was dark and dense in the amount of trees, the pitch of the floor beneath them was starting to tilt more as they were walking up the mountain. Around the forest was quite, no animal dared to do the slightless noise due to presence of the predators in their territory, the ultimate predators: vampires. After a short pause Xavier continued.

"Tell me more about yourself Barton. What's your history?"

Xavier was a good listener, very empathic regardless of his beastial aspect, he heard every word of him with open mind and a soft expression in his face. The way was very long, the tilt was very inclined and for a human this would have been very tiring even in a good shape but for Barton it wasn't an effort at all, his muscles kept moving without even a feeling of disgust or exhaustation.

When Barton finished his words Xavier said.
"I like hicking, don't you? I've been most of my life in the wild, most part of it at the north of this Country, still spent sometime in Europe and went down south the East Coast. One has a lot of time when is immortal, I've seen many interesting places and met very interesting people.

You were brought here by the Providence, Hollow. You'll be an excellent Gangrel. That's the name of our Blood, our Clan, your new family. The ones we're about to meet are like your brothers, sisters and cousins. They will help you and teach in my absence, guide you in all your needs through the Night."

after a short pause he continues saying...
"Tell me more about this Amanda, was she your lover...?"

Xavier nods comprehensively.
"I do"

Finally the couple reached a cave on one flank of the mountain, it was dark and seemed to be very deep. Xavier kept silence and walked inside followed by the two wolves in stealth movements almost like a ghost walking next to Hollow. Eventually darkness engulfed the both of them and Barton wasn't able to see anything in front of him. Hessitant of tripping he started to move making more noise tumbling and kicking little stones in the floor that he wasn't able to see anymore, Xavier seemed to have dispair since he was still moving unheard.

At that point two red embers like eyes appear in front of Barton, suddenly Xavier's voice breached the silence saying in his feral tone of voice.
"Are you afraid of the dark childe?" the voice alone was intimidating to Barton, much more considering the bright red eyes in front of him.

Xavier echoing voice said again
"Forget your fear boy you're now the ultimate predator, Hunt and let your Blood guide you!"

The blazing embers vanished in a blink and Xavier's presence with them

Xavier stood up from the rock and turning his back on Barton started walking deeper inside the cave. The two wolves followed him closely. Then he said.
"Catch up Barton. We're getting late"

Then after waiting for him to come closer Xavier continued saying
"Keep that thought Childe and try to relax. You don't need anger or violence to be a predator, just the certainty of your own power. Let Thy Blood guide you."

The cave chamber was large, there were several men, women and animals in it, still most of the creatures were a mix between beasts and humans, still almost none had the same animal features in their visage. The eyes of these human like beings were also blazzing like Xavier's the animal's eyes were not except for the eyes of a really big bear in the back of the cave and two big cats that were with the rest of the people.

For Barton his was very ackward, not just because he was seeing everything coloured red but due to the feeling that all these creatures projected, they were predators, like none he had met until now. Their body language was as complex as the wolves' was, by the time Xavier was walking among them going to the center of the circle they were sitting in th creature were mutturing to each other making feral noises as well as civilize words to communicate.

Once he got to the center Xavier growled streching his muscles and said.
"This is my Cub, his human name is Barton Hollow may he be recognize as a Gangrel from now on"

The Bear beast at the back of the cave came closer defying moving his head side to side and growling breaking through to face Xavier and said, the Bear actually spoke.
"Cub No Gangrel! Cub weak...!" with a guttural sound in his voice.

Xavier took a step forward and said
"He will be stronger, he'll be worthy of Thy Blood"

The Blazzing and intimidating eyes of the creature stared at Barton, it showed his teeth to him and was certainly the biggest bear he had ever seen. Bear said
"You'll be... strong. One moon... or I... kill... YOU!"
