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.

At once I notice her defensive stance and the small snarl that’s waiting on the edge of her lips. Oh no, I did not mean to make her feel threatened. I whine softly and turn my gaze away from her to show her that I am not here to hurt her. My ears lay flat on my skull and my tail is lowered, but slightly ridged in anxiety. This dark girl was the first wolf I had come across in Moladion in ten years and I was hoping it would be a pleasant exchange but it looked like that may not be the case. I didn’t want to start a fight so I carefully stepped back, each paw moved slowly so as not to startle my new companion. I didn’t dare look at her until I felt I was a safe distance from her, in case she snapped.

She spoke then, her voice sounding confused by my approach. Her golden eyes watched me, expecting an answer that I could not give. I vowed to never speak again. I knew the words but my tongue had been silent for so long that it had forgotten how to form them. Instead, I whimpered softly again and gave a small wag of my tail. I raised my nose and sniff loudly, taking in her scent. ’I want to know you. Friend. No threat.’

It was hard living a silent life but I felt it was worth it. Most wolves still understood the old ways. It was ingrained into their very souls but sometimes it took a bit of digging to find it. I was sure that once she knew I was not a threat, the dark girl would calm and, perhaps, even stay with me for a bit. Most of my exchanges with strangers are short lived and quiet. But I longed for the company of others and I would greedily take as much time with another wolf as I could get. Perhaps she would be the way in I needed to be accepted into a pack. For now, I was content to wait for her reaction and see if I had made a new friend.

((Sorry for the blandness. Still trying to get back into Whimper's mindset and silent ways xD))
