The Grotto

Disaster has struck!
Years ago, an earthquake broke open several entrances into a deep, winding series of subterranean systems. It was thought that deep below, underground rivers snaked their way below Moladion. Now, flooding in the Northern reaches of Moladion has proven this theory to be true.

The Grotto is almost entirely submerged. Many of the entrances are completely inaccessible, and those that are only extend a few hundred feet before ending in water. The lower entrances, however, act almost like a giant drain for Moladion. Water pours down into the Grotto's maw as powerful rapids and waterfalls, and large amounts of debris have build up throughout the area. It can be exceptionally dangerous to travel due to the risk of flash-flooding and dams suddenly breaking, but the Grotto does offer the most consistent access across the floodwaters because of those dams.

Note:The Grotto will return to normal once 25 posts have been completed (or at Staff discretion). During this time, new threads will receive a 'Surprise','Disaster', and prizes.

It was weird not feeling like I had any sort of purpose, truth be told. I did feel a little bit lost, just wandering the world, hoping to come across something interesting. It was a little... dull. Though I wasn't one to go seeking out danger, going from a life full of danger to something so... vanilla was a bit disheartening. I had been traveling, hunting for myself and sleeping underneath the stars. The biggest 'danger' I had faced was a fox getting a little too close to my latest kill. The blood had long faded from my white chest by the time I reached Moladion, and for the first time I smelt the scent of many wolves, something that reminded me of my own home. I had left because there was nothing there for me, but yet, I found myself becoming a little homesick. It was a crappy feeling, something I didn't appreciate, but those lonely nights under the stars made me wonder if I had made the right decision.

But as my white paws carried me into these new lands, lands I had never seen before, somehow home didn't seem too far away anymore. Civilization, it seemed, thrived here. And I was sure if I looked hard enough I'd find some packs, too. Not like I was interested in joining up, but it was always good to know your surroundings.

I walked towards the rocky landscape, the spring air feeling cool as it ran through my well-kept fur. I looked around, ever wary, not keeping my guard down for a second. These lands didn't seem hostile, but it was always best if I kept my wits about me. I twitched my ears as I came to a stop in front of a yawning cave mouth. The abyss stared up at me with a strange sort of hostility, and I turned my nose up at it. What the hell was that cave's problem? It didn't have to act so goddamn scary. I snorted and turned away from the cave, content to leave it and it's pseudo-scariness behind me, because quite frankly, I didn't really care what was down there. Maybe a sentient mole colony or something, but you know what? I'll never know. And I was pretty content with that.

There seemed to be a lot of caves around here and I skirted around them the best I could. I shivered as the air picked up and I looked towards the sky, noticing the grey clouds as they rolled in. I made a beeline for an overhang a little ways away, and managed to slip underneath it, not before I was drenched by the stupid sky. I grumbled as the water dripped off my coat and onto the ground below me. I inched as close as I could to the back wall of the overhang, growling at the sky when it growled at me. "Y'know what would be awesome?" I mumbled to myself, shooting a glare up at the sky. "If you could shut the hell up, sky. And also if you could stop throwing your rain down at me, please."
