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 wait with bated breath for the retort I'm sure she's about to throw my way. Usually she has something for anything and everything I say, no matter how smooth or well thought out. But this time, she's silent and it disarms me. She's awkwardly silent and I fight the uncontrollable urge to turn and look at her to try to gauge what she's thinking. Is she still processing my words or has she chosen to ignore them? Is she even still here? I close my eyes and inhale deeply, relief flowing through me when her perfume is still close. I don't even hear the sound of her breath though and it's disconcerting. Is she trying to irritate me? Why the hell can't I hear her breathe? I go ahead with what I don't like, waiting for that witty remark but still I come up empty. Both ears are flicked back, straining for one syllable of her voice. I feel like I'm drowning and the only way to live is to hear her voice and yet she's holding out on me, letting me drown. Why isn't she talking? What's wrong? I keep fishing, telling her that I'm not lost, that I come here all the time. When that gets nothing, I ask a question. Where does she go? My ears continue straining, my body close to the breaking point, my muscle stiff and inflexible, straining for her voice like a child strains in the water for the first swimming lessons. A new smell hits me and it's like a splash of cold water in my face. What is that? I wrinkle up my nostrils, smelling salt and, well, Kohaku. Before I know it, I'm turning on my heels to face her, bewilderment and worry on my face. Are you crying? My voice is soft and strained as if in pain, eyes trying to focus in the darkness, trying to see her face but it's too dark and I can't see much more than an outline. I can make out her figure backing up rapidly though until she hits the wall. I go to take a step forward but think better of it, stepping back to where I was, ears flicking forward as I try to understand what she's doing. I hear her muttered curse and my head tilts, eyes narrowing in suspicion. What is she doing? Is she really crying? Did I say something wrong? I can make out her delicate face turning toward the exit and my breath hitches, my legs turning to jello. Please don't go, I whisper in my head as I stare at her achingly. She stands there for what seems like forever and I can't see enough to make out what she's thinking or feeling but I want to guess that she's not leaving just yet because she hasn't moved. I can still smell that strange salty scent and I have an urge to put my nose to her cheek but I hold back. That would probably be crossing a line or something, touching her. She would definitely leave then. My jaw tightens as I fight back the urges, wanting so much and yet feeling them so out of reach. Her words send me for a loop and a half. She starts talking about another as if there's someone she's talking about and I feel a tug of jealousy deep in my gut. Does she belong to someone else or has she spoken to someone else? Someone who makes her feel like this? I feel my muscles calling for action, anger boiling beneath the surface. Who the hell is she talking to? Now it's my turn to be speechless as I try in vain to decipher her words. Even as arrogant as I may seem, I've never really thought of myself as in her league. Maybe that's why I've chased her all this time. To taste something I can never have. And yet this talk of someone jumbling her mind has me chewing my lip and wishing it was that someone's life chord. I am beyond jealous, beyond mad, beyond envious. I am livid just thinking about someone unhinging her like that because it's not me. It can't be, right? She's always so witty and sarcastic around me, so untouchable. She's the goddess from our boar hunt and the mystery woman from the coyote hunt. She's always been on another planet from me and I've been reaching out for her, hoping for just one touch and yet always coming up empty handed. And now there's another. How did I miss it? I hear her laugh but there's something off about it, something uncanny and not at all humorous. My eyes narrow, a brow lifting at her quizzically. She's unstable? My chest tightens. I never thought I'd feel this strongly about her talking about someone else like this. I thought I could play it off if she ever decided to play this way, that I could let it roll off my shoulders like everything else. But my shoulders are bracing for impact, relishing the pain because it's got to be better than this delusion of ever thinking I could have her. She lifts her leg and a whimper rises up my throat, only squashing itself down when she slowly lowers the paw back down. Then she makes a confession that she doesn't like feeling unstable. I nod slowly, as if agreeing. Yes, she shouldn't feel unstable. I can help with that. Then you should end it. This other you speak of should be depleted from your life completely. I can arrange for something slightly more permanent. All I need is a name. My lips curl back unbidden, showing a single fang of death. Oh, the things I could do to this mystery wolf that upsets her. I can make sure there's not enough pieces left to make her feel that way anymore. I struggle for control over this new creature but all I feel is a beast that will savor every drop I take from this wolf. Who dares to make Kohaku feel some way she doesn't want to? If I can't have her, no one can! OOC: Bahaha, oblivious much? Yes, Niko has his insecurities waaaay deep down and a big one is Kohaku. He doesn't think she could ever really love him >> *pats his back* There, there...
