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.

Alone


Yes, that's the key word, the most awful word in the English tongue. Murder doesn't hold a candle to it and hell is only a poor synonym.

I moved silently from the borders of Asteraia, the slipping into the shadows. I melded with them perfectly as I stalked like a phantom back to the only place I had ever known: the caves. It is where i've always belonged, because it is the only place where I can be alone like I always have been. Except now I have Fjallraven, and I am not truly alone anymore. Yet even with her companionship, I still feel this need to distance myself from the others and return to the shadows. So that is what I will do.

I worry about Fjallraven, the girl who has secured something I didn't believe I had: friendship. I found her and she was starving to death, quite literally skin and bones. She is a frightened, abused little thing, and I feel this desire to protect her from the world. To look upon the scars on her back fills me with anger, an anger I have never felt before. But no longer will she have to starve or face the cruelties of this world alone. She had followed me to Asteraia and we would make sure she was safe, I would make sure she was safe. My beautiful, sweet Fjallraven.

A strange feeling washes over me as I slip into the cool shadows of the caves, my split eyes taking in the surroundings of what was once my home. I felt torn: it felt right to be here and at Asteraia, surely I could not have both. Yet I had already made my decision when I brought Fjallraven back to the rolling hills with me, so this place was no longer where I belonged truly. I could only visit here now, and you know what, that was okay with me.

Like the silent phantom I was, I disappeared into the shadows, delving deeper and deeper into the caves until visibility was low. I knew every nook and cranny of this place, so I knew exactly where I was headed. I hopped up onto a ledge located along the side of the wall. When I had made it to the top, I followed the small pathway back to the front of the cave system, to the perch I could have always been found on back when this was my home.

I laid down and simply took in the beauty the caves held, how the shadows and light danced together and how the stone twisted and broke away. Its too bad this cave had been overwhelmed by loners, they truly took away from its natural beauty and peace.
