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.

I suppose I could just slink around in the shadows forever. I could make it a game. How long I could without sentient contact. Maybe I'd start talking to myself and oh, wouldn't that just be golden-- I'd be certifiably crazy then. I used to know a healer back when I ran with my father. I asked her if there were any herbs that could cure a disease of the mind and she just said that they were still working on that, but she suggested that I talk to someone if I was 'having trouble.' I just laughed and said that I'd been having trouble my entire life, and she gave me a sad, knowing smile, the kind that was above condescending but below genuine sympathy. Because I knew what she was thinking. She's the kind of woman who ran with the bad guys but wasn't one herself, and she thought that maybe I had just gotten mixed up in something that I didn't comprehend the full meaning of.

I wish I had taken the time to learn a few tricks from her. Because then maybe as everyone was lying on the ground bleeding out, I could have saved someone else's life along with my own. I almost laughed out loud at myself as I thought the word 'someone' because I and everyone else knew that the only someone worth saving had been my father.

My dark ears flicked as I heard the telltale sound of pawsteps approaching, and I pivoted on the spot, my strange eyes focused on the male who made his way over to me. I tilted my head slightly, trying to get a good look at him, and coming up with the conclusion that if he was here to harm me I was probably a little screwed. But his intentions, at least not yet, didn't seem sinister. A small smirk tugged at my lips as I heard his melodious question.

"Not a whole lot of 'somethings' out here." I said dryly, but my eyes glittered with curiosity. I could tell he was older, simply by the way he carried himself-- boys my age were still kind of gangly and awkward. There were a few young adults who ran with us, and all of them had been constantly tripping over themselves, both figuratively and literally.

I raised my head a little bit, trying to gain whatever height I could manage, given the fact that the stranger towered over me. I wasn't trying to make this a fight of dominance or anything of the sort, but I naturally tried to make myself look even just a little bit imposing. "And I'm afraid if you're looking for something, all you're going to find out here tonight is me." I said with a toothy grin, my tail giving a friendly, yet cautious wave. I wasn't about to let my guard down just yet, but I hoped that maybe I'd get a conversation and not a fight out of this one.

But I'm in love with the way it's dirty
