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...

As expected, the brute had swung around quickly at the sound of her voice, though he looked even more startled by the lack of rhythm in her voice. As she spoke again, once more in rhythm, she tried to ignore the pain from the wound, hoping that Zev would not pick up on it. However, his next words proved differently. Are you alright? Is that blood yours? Athene inhaled sharply, but then sighed – there was no reason to lie about it, but it truth it was not serious – it would leave a cosmetic scar at worse.

“
In utter truth, my new friend

No sympathy do you have to lend.

The blood that you smell is indeed mine

But there is no need to worry – I am fine.

The wound was caused by the fall

My pelt and skin were skinned by the wall

The wound is long but thin, and not very deep

So to our explorative goal, we shall keep.
”

Her lilting voice echoed through the cavern around them, the echos returning to their auds quickly, showing how tight the cavern ahead was. Her honied orbs drifted upward to where they had fallen through – Zev had wished to try and find the hidden staircase that he had discovered beforehand. Would they be able to climb back up the wall to continue their search? Athene felt a pang of guilt at the thought that she would have ruined their search by becoming careless. The fae tried to gentle stretch out her side, trying to find out how much the wound impeded her movements. As she stretched out the skin, a fresh sting ran through her ribs as the clotted would reopened and the skin ripped a bit more. If they scaled the rock wall now, she would have to leave and allow the wound to rest for a while. But if they travelled onward in this cavern… perhaps the wound would heal up a bit.

Her auds flickered toward the dark brute as his words entered the stale cavern air. Clearly there is something interesting in this cavern. The staircase right here proves it. Would you like to continue down this way? Without waiting for a response, the brute trotted down toward the cavern’s opening. The fae realized that some light was penetrating the cave, for she could see the brute clearly for the first time since she had met him. The light was very dim, almost unperceivable at first, but it was there. Athene could see the brute watching her waiting for a response. Instead of speaking, the fae pushing off of the hard rock floor, her claws clicking upon the rock, and travelled after the brute. As she reached him, she winked at the brute, and travelled through the tunneled entrance. As before, the tunnel become thinner. However, this time it even affected her. Athene lowered herself to her stomach and started crawling through the tunnel.

It closed in around her, but didn’t touch her and the fae wondered if the brute would fit. He should be able to if he crawled as she did, but it would be a tight fit. Athene inhaled sharply as the footing changed suddenly, from hard solid rock to slippery moss. Just as suddenly, the encased tunnel began to widen into another immense cavern. Athene raised her bodice off of the slippery earth, her claws sinking into the moss to keep herself from sliding for the floor was slanted toward the center of the cavern. Before moving forward, the fae glanced backward, her honey orbs searching the tunnel for any sign of the brute.
