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 can notice the change in Akina like a sea breeze. The look in her eyes, the way her body moves, the way she smells is different. There's a darkness in her that was never there before and I know the experience of watching her children slain and taken from her has everything to do with it. She feels helpless, alone. I can't help but blame Titan for this, at least a little. If he had been here with his family that night then maybe the rogues who came wouldn't have gotten away with it. Maybe she would still be the sweet kind Akina I remember from the first time I saw her. I can feel her eyes on me steadily and even though I'm sure she can't see much of me through the darkness, it feels like she can see right through me. My ears listen lazily to the comfort of the dripping water from the ceiling. The silence is comforting but when Akina speaks, asking what I see, it doesn't make me uncomfortable, the breaking of the silence. Really, I find that I wouldn't have anything else break it except for that angelic tone. I feel her fur brush against mine as she takes a seat somewhere behind me. The warmth of her skin calms me, calms the monster I see inside. I can feel the heat radiating off of her body. She sits patiently and waits for me to speak. When I speak, I know she's listening. I don't even have to turn my head to feel her attention fully on me. I wait for her to shake her head and tell me that's not true. I wait for her to disagree and explain why. Instead I'm greeted with silence for a little while and I know the answer will be different than what I thought it would be. Finally she speaks in a whisper, my ears flicking back to give her all of my attention. I consider her words fiercely as she tells me that she fears nothing right now here beside me. She doesn't fear the monster I've just called myself. She speaks of glasses half full, when you can banish demons like a slayer. Her last words are a bit of advice, telling me to let the past go. My lips curve into a sad smile, eyes softening as I look down at the water at my feet. If only I could, but how do you let go of something you see every night? Maybe I could forget if the nightmares didn't plague me like flies. Maybe I could move on if I didn't hear their screams waking me every morning. I hear her sigh softly and I can practically feel the concern coming off of her form. She is truly a caring being, even with this new touch of darkness. When she speaks again, it is to tell me how she has changed, how she will not take my compliment at its word and instead she only feels undeserving. My eyes gleam with understanding. Yes, I understand that emotion all too well. I feel undeserving of my life every day. Every time I breathe, I feel undeserving. She starts rattling on about her litters and how they don't need her. Then she jumps to Titan, the wolf I know nothing about that can still make my hackles sway a bit. It makes me angry to see her feeling like this, feeling so alone when she has a mate. A mate whose never there. I stiffen a bit but I know that she needs an answer more than anything. The litters you speak of, you have them, for one. They would not be here, brightening this world with their existance if it wasn't for you. You have your best friend Sin. I've seen the way Vela looks at you. She cares about you more than anything. Darth, Red China. I remember seeing the way your pups look at you. You have them to show. They all love and care about you. You have made a difference in each of their lives. Your pups will always need you, no matter how old they get. There's no replacing a mother. I can't answer your last question because that's something only you can find out. You must find your own purpose. I find a new one every chance I get. It's the only thing that keeps me going, knowing I have a mission. Knowing I can still try to right the wrong. I strive to make the differences you make every time you smile, Akina. If only I could reach that high. My lips curl into a smirk, a smirk of self loathing. I don't know if she's crying. If I did, I'd probably be trying to comfort but then, that's not supposed to be my place. She said the name already of the one whose place it should be. Titan, the one whose not here. My ears flick back to my scalp, wishing it wasn't this easy to be angry with a wolf I've never even officially met and only saw once. I wouldn't usually jump to conclusions like this, hating another wolf for something that's none of my business. Something about Akina draws me in. I feel that gnawing feeling of fear in the back of my gut. The fear that tells me I'm getting attached and that's something I never strive to do. |
