This place felt...dangerous. She was on edge, her fur standing on end as she walked slowly, treading cautiously for once. She could feel the ground groaning and moaning beneath her, the rumblings of the earth the only sound she could hear besides the pounding of her own heart. Something told her she shouldn't be here, but it was her drive to explore the unexplored that kept her where she was instead of turning tail and running somewhere safer. The foreign girl walked on, not knowing what she would get into today. She wouldn't realize that she was practically holding her own breath as silence surrounded her. It was eerie to say the least. She could hear no birds, no scraping of the ground from little rodents or otherwise. Did all forms of life avoid this place?

She heard a crack somewhere in the distance, her body freezing as her head whipped around to her left. Nothing. Just my imagination... continuing on her path, her pristinely white paws were starting to accumulate dirt from this unholy place, so she would decide to stop and groom herself some before moving onward. Though there was nobody around to impress, she hated the feeling of dirt sticking to her pelt. She sat down, diving into her task of perfecting her dirtied coat back to its clean state. As she groomed her forelegs, another crack sounded...closer this time. She half stood then, the ground beneath her paws groaning as if in pain. She cocked her ears to listen, but the earth would tell her nothing more of its struggle. With uncertainty and a sense of foreboding, she decided it was time to go. This was not a place to be alone...should something happen to her, she was sure there would be no help for miles around.

Quickening her pace, the girl started feeling a little jumpy. Her instincts screaming at her to get out of here, and that was precisely what she aimed to do...until the ground violently shifted under her feet, sending her sprawling to the ground. When she hit the ground on her side, the air was knocked from her lungs. Gasping for breath, she saw a fountain of dirt and debris spout up into the air. Silver eyed watched it for a moment before she ducked her head and felt the sting of falling rocks as it pelted her. But it wasn't over yet. Another violent shift, another angry cry from the earth, and the ground would begin to crack beneath her very body. Without another moments hesitation, she immediately scrambled on unsteady paws and ran for her life.

She would not die today. Not here. Not by the grounds hungry teeth. With her heart racing as fast as her feet, she made to outrun the angry snarling and sudden outbursts of the earth. Was mother nature angry at them? Perhaps still held a grudge for the living because of what humans once did? She didn't know. All she knew was that she wanted to get out of here. She ran for what seemed like miles, her body growing tired and her paw pads hurting from stepping on sharp stones no doubt. But she wouldn't stop until she felt safe.

Or until something tripped her. With a surprised gasp, Kasai would fly forward. Her attention had been so focused on not being swallowed by the ground, she'd fail to notice the figure she had been approaching. But it was too late, and she was now sprawled out on the ground, the air rushing from her lungs once more. Eyes squeezed shut, she writhed slowly as she tried to see what she had tripped over. Silver eyes would come to find a large figure, sleeping? Who would take a nap out here!? She had woken him no doubt. "What the?"
