Raesa was pretty disoriented, honestly. The past few moons had been long and challenging, and she'd been away from home for far too long. Bodolf was hard on her heels as she stalked through a dense pine wood. The needle-strewn ground absorbed all trace of her as she picked her way between the ferns and bracken that clustered around the tree trunks. The ground was growing rockier with every few paces, and beginning to rise. She just wanted to find her way home. Instead, she came upon a clearing of sorts. The ground rose sharply before her, a slab of stone broken only by a deep cravasse in the rock. It seemed to her as if it had been chipped away at the edges. Derelict pieces of timber framed it's entrance, half collapsed. She paused, and sniffed at the air. Nothing. She turned to Bo, who came to stand beside her, and raised a brow. "What is this?" she asked him, but got no reply other than a shrug. It was like no cave she had ever come upon. It did not seem natural but all she could smell was damp soil and spring growth and old snow that refused to melt despite the warming days. She sat a few bodylengths from the entrance and peered inside. Oh, she was definitely going to explore it, but she knew she ought to get a good meal before venturing into the unknown. That was just common sense, right? |
