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 had made a very brief return to Malignant Felicity before leaving again. This time it had been family related. My younger cousin, Blood Titan, was stirring up trouble in the Demonica homelands, and I went to play a referee of sorts. The kid was stubborn, no less than his brother had ever been. It took a while but eventually Titan agreed to leave, and after tangling with a few relatives over unrelated matters of my own, I was able to start my way back towards Blossom Forest. As I galloped, quickly erasing the distance between me and home, I thought on what my return would be like. I hadn't announced my leave to anyone, not even Queens and I knew I'd have some explaining to pay for that. I knew that Arcadian had returned at least, so she wouldn't be left with no one again. I still felt terrible over that … what sort of support was I when I just left without a word about it? I wouldn't allow it to depress me, but I wasn't going to ignore it either. I'd deal with it. Make amends with my old friend. My closest friend. God, did I miss her. My strong limbs carried me a great distance in a short time, and within only a few days I was back. My heart urged me towards Malignant Felicity, but my mind kept me on track. I needed to stop for a drink. I needed to find a snack. I had to refuel myself before returning home. My first stop was the lake, in which I not only quenched my thirst, but dove in to swim a few laps around. After the monotonous routine of running the last few days, it was nice to work my legs out in a different way, plus the swim would wash my pelt out. Couldn't be letting myself look shabby when I returned to Malignant. After the swim, I went to a nearby meadow and found a warren to pick a few rabbits from. All during this time I had kept my mind on the task at hand. I set off on a trail that would eventually take me to my pack, on the way once more allowing Queens to enter my mind. My Queens, still the only wolf I would ever call my alpha. Even when I had been the leader at Abendrot for a while she was still my alpha in many respects. She was my oldest, best friend now, and would most likely be for all my days left in Blossom. Hell, even if Karma showed up again, she'd never regain the place she once held in my heart. Queens was special. My feelings for her were so damn complicated though. The trail I was taking took my past the Cavern of Secrets, and on a whim I decided to turn off the path and enter the dark place. I enjoyed the darkness. I enjoyed all the mysteries and shadows and crevices and skeletons, both metaphorical and literal, scattered about. I had my favorite places around Blossom. The caverns were definitely among them. I snaked my way through the paths, dipping down through less obvious doorways and eventually losing myself in the stony maze. After an indeterminable amount of time walking around with no real place in mind, I noticed an odd path in the wall. It was almost like a staircase, though not as smooth of a walk. It took me upward until I ended up in an enclosed room. A dead end. The ceiling was tall, and looking up I noticed there was a hole and through it I could see the sky. It was night, and the moon's light illuminated the small room in a soft, silvery glow. The room was cozy, while it could fit three, or maybe even four wolves, it seemed just right for one lonely canine all the same. Night? I had entered the caverns during the day, how long had I been walking? Mentally shrugging it away, I decided to sit down on my haunches. I leaned against the wall, facing the door out of the habit of keeping aware of my surroundings. “Oh Queens, what am I going to do about you?” I spoke out loud the most prominent thought in my mind. Really though, what was I going to do? Well, first and most obvious would be to stop leaving. Stop inadvertently hurting her. Yes, that would be a good start. But that was the easy part. I was here to stay. I knew that, and in time, she would be able to trust that too. Beyond that, though, how was I going to process what I felt for her? I didn't know how to classify it. Was it love? Well, I knew I loved her. That was a given. But was it in love sort of love? It wasn't the same as it had been with Karma. That was probably a good thing, though. Karma and I had something amazing, and passionate, but so incredibly unhealthy for the both of us. Destructive, really. Queens and I had never been like that. We'd always been good support for each other, until I'd messed it up by leaving. I sighed heavily, deciding I would give myself the night to think through all of this before officially returning. |
