The Cavern of Secrets holds much more than you can imagine. Once a forbidden place, the ban on entrance has been released...yet, is it a good idea to enter?
Once a great battle had been fought in this cavern, against a dark beast that had once - and still might - dwell here. No one knows where he disappeared to, but there are rumours...

I couldn't say what exactly attracted me to the darkness, but the sanctity of the caverns always seems to leave me feeling inspired and slightly less....well, like me. I'm a monster and I came to terms with that a long time ago. My body weeps for the way it used to feel, powerful, almighty, like a force to be reckoned with. I was an alpha, for Tor's sake, a trusted one at that, or at least it felt like it at the time. I had a beautiful wolfess to call my own and a loyal circle of stronge warriors to have my back. I thought I had it all until the day it all got shattered. I was known for my mercy. When challenged, I would beat my opponents but instead of exiling them from my sight, I'd offer them the favor of joining my pack. Most took the offer and so my pack grew with each challenge. This mercy ended up bringing on my demise of ruling for one day, a strong wolf challenged and I fought him, beating him but when I offered him a rank, he turned me down and left my sight. Thinking it nothing but a minor disappointment, I returned to my pack lands to see my beautiful mate, only to find her dancing around another male, clearly entranced. Dumbfounded, I watched from a small overhang above while my entire pack forgot about me and turned to the new wolf, proclaiming their loyalty in a loud chorus of howls. My mate joined in, pressing her flawless fur into the other male, who stood tall and proud in the middle of the circle. The wolf I'd defeated came in later, declaring himself the new alpha's brother and from that, I figured out the plot. My mate had betrayed me and not only her but my whole pack had turned their backs on me. They had been plotting this for months while she met the other wolf behind my back, singing sweet love songs in his ears while feeding me lies about her heart's decision. I could have fought for my pack lands, for my glory, for my pride, but in the end I knew that it would never be the same. I was utterly alone and no amount of fighting would bring back the loyalty I thought I once had. And so I turned my back on the pack I loved more than my own life and left them to their twisted fate. Of course, then I fell into a spiral of despair and in the end, the monster inside took over, ripping me down to my very core until I didn't know who I was anymore and I was nothing but a mindless, soulless killer. My life went on in this darkness for years before something inside me clicked and I knew that I needed to stop. Finally my conscious must have broke out of the cell this beast had locked up tight in a corner of my mind somewhere and then I knew that I had to stop, and so, after months of staying completely isolated away from everyone and everything, I finally started to get my mind back. But my soul? That's lost forever, or at least that's what I still believe to this day. I open my eyes, seeing only darkness before them and reveling in the thought that its where I belong. Even if I have pledged myself to Aurora, I will always be a thing of the darkness. Stepping into the shadows, I let them embrace me as I pause after feeling the tip of my paw get wet. Stiffening automatically, I pull back and look down, only to see a small pool of water smiling up at me. Turning my own eyes up, I can make out a tiny hole up above, still dripping a little bit from the recent rain which still showers down outside the cavern. A smirk pulls at my lips as I glance back down at the surface of the water, my smirk falling from my face as I look at myself, seeing only the monster inside. |
