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.

Now that he had figured out there were other places over the borders of Glorall, he wasn't so scared to go there now! He'd already found quite the magical place where a great big river of water flowed and it was so peaceful and he could go with the flow there so why not look for other peaceful places? That was a way to go with the flow, right? So he stepped over the borders of Glorall and headed out. At first he closed his eyes and snickered, figuring he would do one better than going with the flow. He would go wherever his paws took him. But it wasn't long after that, he stumbled on a rock and stubbed his toe which made him hiss in pain and limp and then before he could open his eyes, he'd face planted into a tree and scraped his face up. Okay, so maybe not such a great idea. It had seemed like it for all of a few seconds, anyway. Shaking his head, he licked the stinging cut on his muzzle and kept walking. He wasn't sure where he was by this point but he wasn't in Glorall anymore so it had to be better!

The silence in the trees fascinated him and he kept glancing up and then he saw the cave up ahead and paused, his eyes widening in awe. What must be it be like inside there? Would there be any water? He sniffed the air but only smelled dampness. Curious, he stepped further in. He looked around for a moment. "Just go with the flow." He muttered to himself as he started walking again. His steps were random and sometimes unfounded. There were a few times that he found himself stepping toward nothing but air and had to pull himself back with a yelp that echoed through the caverns. He would then pick another direction and follow it down. He did this for what felt like hours but could have just been minutes. Then he went around a bend and another echo stopped him in his tracks. It was laughter. A girl. A girl was here? His ears pricked forward and his excitement grew. His tail started wagging and he trotted forward, only to smack right into a wall with a yelp.

He stumbled back, shaking his head again and twitching his sore nose. That would hurt tomorrow. Then he heard another sound, this time a bark. It was the same voice though. His excitement grew as he tried to follow it. Another bark sounded out and he grinned. He decided to try it too, barking into the darkness to hear it echo. Laughing, he did it back every time the voice barked. He trotted around another bend and ran smack into another wall. But this one wasn't completely solid. In fact, it was quite furry and soft. He stumbled right into her and found himself rolling until he hit a wall with an "oomph." Once he sat up to shake his head, he blinked around in the darkness, trying to make out a shape. "Sorry for running into you....whoever you are. Were you the one barking? Cause I was the one answering." He grinned, feeling very much proud of himself as he got back to his feet, his tail thumping the cave wall behind him rhythmically as he pricked his ears into the darkness.
