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.

Junketsu
just the wasted years so close behind

Heavy rain could be quite the downer. Thankfully it was not quite so bad here as he neared the Grotto as it was further north towards the forests. Mother nature was clearly playing a joke on Moladion. Junketsu much preferred the constant, yet somewhat gentle, barrage of rain to the nasty lightning storms at home. He disliked the feeling of discomfort the electric charges gave him when he wanted to travel higher on the plateaus. Nothing ever struck him, but the last thing he needed was to be rescued by healers or the Thunder King himself because he'd been struck by lightning.

So, instead of travelling up, Junketsu traveled down. The rain collected and made tiny streams over the edges of the breaks above his head as well as down the path he followed. The dimmed light from the crags above and the overcast from the weather hindered his line of sight minimally for the time being. The young wolf debated how deep he wanted to go. He had not ventured here often, so there was no strong desire to get lots in the network of tunnels.

That meant for a game of Dodge the Water drops. As much as dancer as he was, Junketsu always sought to increase this skill set. Agile and lithe, the black, white, and red capped male bobbed and weaved to avoid the trickles of rain into the Grotto. If only there was someone to join him! That would make this more interesting, a bit like a contest. Shame no one else seemed to be out in the rain, so Junketsu danced with it alone for now.
