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 wasn't stupid. I was very much aware of how Kong had taken on the burden of blaming himself for the disaster back home. I didn't blame him, nor Sin, nor anyone else for that matter. I blame myself and myself alone for it was my duty in that particular moment on that particular night to defend those children, no one elses. My mind had grown dark, so terribly dark to the point where I recognised the darkness around me, greeting it like an old friend I had deeply missed. I wasn't afraid anymore, there was nothing more to fear for the worst had happened and I had experienced hell well enough to find it familiar when I come to pass. My soft brown optics stare out toward where I know the beast is standing though depending on eye sight alone I would never have known due to the dark that ate at our figures. The smell of water is close and accompanied by the gentle droplets departing from the roof to meet their maker. The silence doesn't last long for i'm quick to break it, banish it and enquire as to what he sees. I wasn't sure how he would react but I didn't fear the consequences of my asking either. I take a seat beside him and at one point or another my multi hued cloak brushes against his own midnight pelt. The tension was heavy and I could tell he was thinking of an answer so I sit quietly and wait for it to come. My ears perk alert when it does and I listen to him, devouring his every word as if searching for a deeper meaning to what he speaks. A year ago I would have hung my head in disaproval, perhaps even fought against him assuring him he wasn't anything of the sort.. But I've come to realise how easily monsters are created and in turn I can only listen and wonder what story he has to tell. I wait for him to finish before speaking up, my voice still a whisper for his ears only. "Monsters are creatures to be feared and yet I sit here fearing nothing. As quickly as the devil rises within us it can also be banished just as quickly. Perhaps your past has lead you down a dark road but somewhere along the way you have seen the light. Let go of the past, Kong, or it will kill you." I hate to think of him hurting but I put that down to my usually sensitive nature. A sigh leaves my lips and I cast a glance to my paws knowing theu're beneath me yet I can't see them. Again, I speak up and list my cranium to take a look around finding the nothingness I see overly comforting. "And the angel you speak of has left this world. Weeks ago I would have found comfort in your compliment and now I only cringle and believe it to be a title I do not deserve. What have I to show for my life, Kong? My first litter has grown and no longer need me, my second litter has been taken from me and Blood Titan is never here to protect me, the wolf I promised my heart to is not here. What is my purpose?" My head cocks to the side and I feel the warmest of tears trickling down my cheek as it does. I wasn't about to begin some sad story nor did I want sympathy, only answers. I wasn't sure why I asked him or assumed he would have the answer I was looking for yet there it was out in the open between us crisping the atmosphere. Yet I knew if anyone could set me straight right now it was him.  |
