Silas was a bit late to the party, he could see many other pairs of wolves near the shoreline, worried about the same thing he was. He and Bramble found their way here, in the strange strip of land that was off the path near the sand. This strange, almost expanding, of the land along with the subdued sun had the aurora marked boy on edge. He figured that everyone else felt similar to him as well. The happenings were unlike anything he had ever experienced before. None of it seemed natural.

He looked to his sister as they went along, despite being younger he still felt protective over his sister. The ground seemed disturbed, and even more surprising was the resonating he felt from beneath. From deep deep in the earth. "This is all so strange." Silas muttered as he stumbled over a lump of earth. "I wonder…" He continued mostly to himself, before he set his paws to work moving the earth beneath them.


"Speech"

The scenery had changing seemingly indefinitely. When she thought that perhaps the red sky would turn pale once more the next day, it proved it would not. That reason alone unsettled Bramble, sending a shiver down her spine every time she glanced up at the darkened red moon. She wouldn't let it deter her from venturing outside. Not when her siblings were willing to go and venture out to the odd, winding channels that had risen along Shimmering Shore. Following Silas dutifully in a companionable silence, one might find it odd that she wasn't speaking. Truthfully, she was too unsettled to really find the words for conversation.

When Silas tripped over a mound, Bramble let out a gasp. She too had began to feel the deep, deep rumbles from below and thought maybe Silas had tripped because of them. "Careful," she warns quietly, her own teal gaze drawing down to the disturbed grass and dirt at their paws. "What if it collapses?" Bramble can't hide the strain of worry in her tone as she too felt the urge to dig. Without much thought, her paws begin to move by Silas', digging down into the ground.

"Bramble"

Silas wasn’t even fully mature yet, but he hadn’t seen anything like this ever before. The strange moon, the incredible earthshakes before this strange day night. The weird appearance of this strange strip of land that had him desiring to dig like he never had before. Even his compass was going insane. The moment they stepped here both hands began to twirl like crazy. He knew where he was, but was still incredibly unnerved by the malfunction.

The young man was never one for a good few words, and in this setting even less so. He was sort of glad that Bramble felt the same way as they went. However, when his paws began to dip into the dirt his sister did issue her first warning. They had no real idea what they were dealing with here, and he nodded intently with his eyes never leaving the earth he dug up. She warned him of danger, but began to join him. "I will be." He assured her. "Do you think we’ll find anything?" Silas asked, though he was more focused on the innate desire to dig than the results.


"Speech"

Silas' question has Bramble pausing for a moment. What if they did find something? Her brow furrows as she hesitates. What if it was some big, nasty monster of an animal? That surely couldn't be out of the question... She couldn't shake the feeling that she needed to keep digging though.

Just as she's about to dig another scoopful, the earth gives out before them where they'd been digging. Bramble's eyes go wide, a little yelp escaping her lips as she scrambles backward out of the way. Breathing quickly, she looks to make sure Silas is okay before glancing over the edge into their new discovery. "I'd say that's finding something..," she says quietly with raised brows and a dry mouth.

"Bramble Carpathius"

Silas felt better about himself when Bramble began to dig alongside him, he had a hunch she felt similarly to him. The feeling, the need to dig was shared by the both of them as they scooped at the earth with their paws. However careful he was, nothing could have prepared either wolf for the sudden bottoming out of the earth beneath them.

"Agh!" He uttered unintentionally as he began to fall into the ground. He struggled, trying to climb out as he was forced into the earth. Bramble was able to escape, but he was deposited painfully on the hard floor of the tunnel. He was mostly fine, minus the breath being forced from his lungs. "You can say that again," He coughed as he struggled to his paws and looked around at the sudden development.
