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.

Reich
If love is what you need
A soldier I will be
She is close on his heels as he enters their small little cave, closer than he had originally anticipated. It surprises him slightly, but it means whatever it is she asked him out here for was extremely important. He blinks at her for a second in surprise as she is already inside through the small opening by the time he turns around, but then smiles because it simply means there will be less time for them to be apart. Blue and green eyes stare at her for a moment, admiring her angelic beauty; because he could look at her for a second and find a million new things he loves about her and he simply never grows tired of looking at her because he knew that she had descended from heaven. He almost expected the angels to come back down and try to take her back to heaven one day.

The short distance between them doesn't feel as cold and empty as it usually did, there was a fire there, a new found heat. He wasn't sure what had sparked it, but he loved it. She laughs at his silly choice words, and he almost hums in pleasure because her laugh is like music to his ears. And then they fall to a comfortable silence (well Reich is always in a state of silence), both looking at each other with a soft, tender care. Reich is patient, and waits until she almost hesitantly reaches out to him, gently touching her muzzle to his shoulder. Before he can return the touch, indulge in her sweet scent and the spark of their touch that sends shivers down his body, she pulls away. He has to stop himself from flashing a childish pout.

"You once told me you loved me..." she whispers with a small smile. His whole body freezes, breath catching in his throat as he tries to figure out where this is all going, yet his brain can't seem to function anymore, only focus straight on here. "I hope this is still true..." she continues, and he almost winces when he registers her words. The fact that she could ever doubt his love for her made his heart hurt, made him slightly angry at himself that he had never told her again after that one night under the waterfall. He should have, but he was too scared to: too scared to force his feelings upon her after she had picked another, too scared of being completely rejected.

He is quick to shake his head yes to her words, still too stunned with her words and where this conversation was headed to even mouth a simple yes. His split gazes watches as she glances around the cave, yet he doesn't follow her gaze, doesn't tear his blue and green eyes away from her even when she chuckles. "I remember our first time here, I was happy.." He flinched slightly at her words, not liking the fact that she used happy in a past tense, like she had trouble being happy now. He fought every day to make her happy, 24/7 he worked to make her and her pups happy because that was all he had, all he lived for. Yet he relaxes again when he see's the happiness in this moment, this right now, and he wants to keep it that way forever, never let her lose that happiness.

"You have been with me in some way since we met here Reich..." she says, and he finds himself waiting in anticipation because the sentence is incomplete where it is. "My shadow stalker.." she breathes out the nickname she had given him the day he met, much like the one he had give her. The way she says it today though is in a way he has never heard her say it before, and it causes his breath to catch in his throat as she suddenly turns into him, pressing her body into him. Her muzzle runs along his neck and shoulder, breathing him in, and in return her finds himself instinctively, nuzzling into her. The contact is enough to cause him to become totally lost in her in this moment. He can almost feel a hidden desire in her touch, and he cannot deny the desire that burns within him as well, but he controls it, his mind not even able to focus on it with her scent intoxicating him and lulling him into a peaceful state.

She looks up at him, muzzle resting right at the edge of his ear, and he in turn looks at her, only able to see her. "I love you.." she whispers, and he is almost certainly that his heart skipped a beat, if not stopped completely and then restarted quick enough that he didn't die. There are butterflies fluttering all over his stomach, and he feels almost weak, like he's about to collapse from hearing those three little words. He is completely frozen in place, his eyes wide as they stare at her, brain desperately trying to comprehend that she had actually just said that and that he needs to respond in some way instead of standing there like an opened mouth idiot.

Her muzzle shifts and he barely registers it until she gently licks his cheek with a new found love he has never felt before. Before he can snap himself out of his daze to do something, respond in anyway, she returns her muzzle to his ear.

"Be my mate Reich, give me forever.."

She whispers, a slight tremble running through her body that he feels and sees. If he was about to collapse before, he came ever closer to actually doing so now, legs shaking slightly. And then he finally gathered himself together to form a single, coherent word.

"Yes,"

He wanted to smack himself, out of all the things to say, that is all he could come up with. But he also couldn't because he was too stunned by the fact that he had actually said it! his voice hoarse from misuse and awkward but it was his, not simple mouthing, an actual voice.

Whatever had gifted him the use of his voice there was quickly gone because he simply couldn't force anything else out if he tried, but he didn't care. With his sense snapped back into him, the biggest smile practically split his face, tail swaying back and forth with a ferocity. He stared at her with so much love, tears welling up in his eyes because he had never been so happy and things could only get better from here on out. She wanted to be his mate, she loved him. He repeated it again and again in his head and it almost sounded surreal but it was real. She picked him, maybe not first but she picked him and he would be her last choice.

He leaned forward and gently licked her cheek with so much love. She wasn't just his soul now, she was his entire world, his everything. 'I love you so much, my angel Everlyse," he mouthed slowly to her before burying his entire head into her chest and just breathing in her sweet scent. He couldn't find the words to explain how much he loved her, but he knew that she knew. He didn't need words, he never had before, his actions always spoke loudest.

This was the start of their forever together.....
