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.

This does bring me back to simpler times. I can still see Risk as a yearling sitting before me. Even then I could see the potential, the warrior he was meant to be. I'm glad Risk decided to come back, even if I don't know yet what he plans on doing now that he's back. I guess it's none of my business anyway. He's his own wolf now and any pack would be honored to have him. I make sure Heyel stays in the loops, assured that even if I can't see him right now, he's still there somewhere, listening as he always does. He was always a nosy one, such an assassin at heart. Sneaky and decieving, but not to me. He was always honest with me. When I look back at him, he looks only interested in me and my story, though I feel it's grown quiet boring with my aging. I straighten up to speak of the caverns I now call home and I wait patiently as he looks around, surveying the place. I try to read his expression, learn what he must be thinking of it all. But then he smiles and compliments the caverns and I smile, shrugging lightly.

"It's not much, not the grand expanse of Paracon...but it's home." I try not to show any disappointment when I say it. I know this is where I belong, even if it's not where I wished to be. For a moment I catch a flicker of something like curiosity and puzzlement in Risk's gaze but he's quick to recover and turn back to happy smiles and interest. But then the subject has turned to old wolves he used to know and I'm sorry to give him such bad news. Even here in the caverns, I still hear stories of what's going on in the world. Even so out of touch, I hear rumors in the dark. He looks puzzled once again when I hint to him about Heyel but I don't want to get into it right now so maybe he won't ask. I can tell the news wounds him as I go on to tell him about everyone else. It hurts me to have to let him down like this, like somehow I could have kept them alive if I'd been better.

His next question at least has a happier answer. I nod. "Yes, her daughter Daenerys now leads Spirane. The mountains are still theirs to lead." At his next question, I rack my brain before answering with a shrug. "I believe I have heard her name through the free lands. I've come aross traces of what might be her scent recently. I do think she still lives." I hope this makes him happy or at least happier than the rest of the news.
