ORP with Steals Fire

The darkness had thrown the Vale into an uproar.
With Bird's Eye View and Wood Spider left in charge to wrangle the area back into control, it had fallen on Wintershadow -- or, rather, he had volunteered -- to make the trek elsewhere, to see what was going on. It was dark and the shadows no longer stretched towards him; they engulfed him entirely, and by the time he made it to the clearing where there was some light, he was surly and short-tempered.
He had done his fair share of stumbling and getting snagged on things; there were leaves tangled in his hair and he'd barked his shin more than once. Overhearing the acha talk about stories, however, soothed his temper. This he could do. This was familiar, and it removed a shred of the urgency he felt fluttering around in his ribs.
"How can we collect them?" he asked of Steals Fire, his musical voice only a little tense. "And who has stolen the light?"
