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's a lonely life, being a fugitive. I wouldn't really call it that, I guess. I'm only being hunted by a select few. I remember the look in the eyes of my own daughter and another member of the pack, Eden. Of course, Eden isn't a member of Diveen but somehow he's from the same blood lines. He just has that haughty look to him that Heyel's blood seems to breed. Stella, on the other hand, is just stuck on a grudge from years ago. I don't even know what made her hate me. She's the one who turned on her family and hunted down her own sister with Tobias. She's the one who went to antoher wolf for fatherly guidance who up and abandoned her more than once. Abraxus never really cared for her. Yes, I know that he's her biological father. It's hard to miss in the silver of her fur, silver that neither Kiska nor I ever had. Of course if I had never heard the truth with my own ears that day in the swamp, I would have been okay with oblivion forever. I never stopped thinking of her as my daughter.

And now I am truly alone. Kiska has ventured off, probably to help take care of the pack she's Beta of. She was a great Beta for me and Paracon so I know she'll give it her all with Taviora. Coza is a lucky wolf to have her. She also has new kids now, kids that aren't mine. It hurts like hell but I have no right to feel that way and I know it. I went back to Natalya after she left but then Natalya never left me. She was always there for me. I will never understand what truly pushed Kiska to leave and never look back.

I agreed to talk to Amir so now it's up to Uno to lure him out of Diveen somehow. I don't know how he plans to do it but I wish him luck. It would be nice to see a friendly face. I stick to the shadows now, always thinking I'll run into Eden or Stella. I'll defend myself against Eden but I don't know if I could against Stella. Hurt my own daughter? I've already hurt my own grandchild, do I really want to stoop so low?

I hang around the outskirts of Taviora too. I know I'm not welcome but I just like hearing news about Zeteri. She has a mate now and kids of her own. She was pregnant again this past winter so it must be about time for her to give birth. I just want to hear good news about my children, to know that they're getting the happiness they deserve. I venture further into the darkness of the grotto, stopping inside a small cavern where a pool of water awaits me. I've been staying in this room mostly the past few weeks. Light filters in through holes in the ceiling and the water is fed from a cold spring so it's always refreshing. I sit at the edge of the pool and look in, wishing there was enough light to see my reflection. Maybe then I could rip it off and see the monster I really am.
