In a modern world full of the curious and the humans that held so much technology, Anna found it increasingly difficult to find time or a private enough space to run freely as she wished. Though as soon as she saw the first bit of opportunity given to her… she took it. Happily stripping from her clothing, the moonlight gleaming on her dark skin as she safely secured it all in a hiding spot, Anna tipped her head up towards the night sky with a joyful expression. All at once the change rippled over her form, graceful in nature and almost instant, Anna fell to four paws and shook her body out as if she were wet. Her pelt was as black as the night sky, her eyes glowing as if they were the stars themselves…

Oddly silent for a creature of her size, certainly bigger than any wolf could naturally be, she raced through the nature around her. Not to hunt… oh no, Anna’s focus was to simply run off the energy she found herself with, needed to allow her spirit to roam free and do as it wished. Though it was because of her unbridled joy in running, that she hadn’t realized she crossed into another’s territory… and as soon as she caught onto the scent she skidded to a stop.

But even the mightiest warriors could not defy the need for sleep, and Balsi, though he wouldn’t dare to admit, had not had a good night’s rest. Why the alehouse, he did not know. Perhaps a fine pint of ale would lull him to sleep easier than a night filled with thought. Balsi always ended up here, one way or the other.

In his arms, he finds a baby with brown hair wiggling and cackling inside the blue velvet ball gown his bride-to-be was just wearing. The baby stared at the blonde prince with her bright big amber eyes and smiled at his confused look.

Another sunny day in New York City. Such a beautiful day, yet Kurt found it disappointing. Back in my day, He thought, shoving his hands in his trench coat pockets and disappearing within the fold of the crowd,  NYC was the city of class and fashion...girls in heels and skirts, guys in smart suits with slicked back hair...now it’s just ‘hipsters’. Mein Gott, what am I talking about? “back in my day” I sound like an old man!

He shook his head and moved on. He made his way out of the crowded streets and towards empty alleyways and deserted lanes. He was trying to clear his head a little. The politics of everything nowadays, he still did not understand why Cyclops and Wolverine fell out. What’s so difficult about being a superhero? Ah, but it comes naturally to someone as dashing as me! He grinned at the ground. 

Suddenly a mans’s shout: “Thief! Thief!” Kurt’s head snapped up to the scene: A young woman with red hair running down the alley like nothing mattered more and an older man running after her yelling.

It's a beautiful day in the neighborhood -- summer may be winding to a close, but the warm weather has not yet abated. And Victor intends to make the most of every moment. Right now, that means going out to the woods with his sketchbook, ink, and a sandwich, and drawing the trees as they show off the last of their estival glory.
