Lurking Calopus
The evening feasting and dancing proceeded as usual. The leading teams were a bit more festive than the previous night, and the lagging teams were more pensive. The visitors from the Eor forest were becoming impressed with their distant kin.
Things were going peacefully enough without more than a few taunts or brief tussles disrupting events. The cubs were collectively having some of the most fun they'd had in a while with so many new playmates for hoop races and whatnot.
But the Kurach were uneasy. Every so often, someone would catch a glimpse of the strange calopus, and whispers kept alive the cryptic threats that had been issued months before they came together.
Tonight at supper we had a play! I never knew Sylvans did much theatre work. Although it was kind of embarrassing that Muso and Banhi both knew the story of this hero by heart and I'd never heard hide nor hair of it before. I wonder if the Scissortails have some kind of library? I'd like to know more about my people's folk lore.

Should I bring in Kleu and company? Should I just leave it at that one scene and include all the horrible teasers with the lurking calopus? 
(Calopus? Calopuses? Calopi??)
Historically, though, the Calopus had much, much larger horns. They were the resident lumberjacks, after all.
Chapter Notes:
Three months behind schedule, as of this page posting. Whoopee. 
I'm definitely enjoying the games version of this chapter much more than the original concept of beating everybody's brains out.
