Home Sweet Home

Emerald orbs glittered as the girl made her way down one of the main corridors, her tail high in the air as she pranced along. Oh, how she loved the castle! No matter how many times she explored it, she always found something new, whether it was a new trinket, or yet another undiscovered pathway that led to somewhere she'd never been before. Much as she loved exploring new lands, she found that this castle was still full of surprises waiting to be discovered. She paused in her joyous canter when she heard a sudden, noisy shuffling sound from outside the castle walls. Tilting her head, her brows furrowed as she wondered what it could be. She shimmied over to the nearest opening in the wall, lifting her forepaws up to rest on the edge of the opening so she could peer out. She quickly caught sight of a most peculiar wolf scratching away at the ground. His coat appeared to be painted with fire, and stars shining in a sun set sky, and somehow he looked like some sort of far off place in the galaxy that she would never see with her own eyes. It was truly fascinating.
Perhaps what caught her attention even more than his magnificent colouring, was his chosen activity. He was digging, and he had just dug up something. Curiously, she watched him in silence as he unearthed a strange, rusted metal ring attached to a wooden plank. She licked her lips, eyes fixed on what he had found. Was it treasure? An opening to somewhere new and hidden? Her eyes grew round as she watched him pull and tug fiercely until he pulled up the wooden plank and revealed what was below. But from her position she couldn't see what was below! Unable to contain herself as she watched him disappear into the ground, Sterling clawed her way onto the ledge of the opening she'd been watching him through, and pounced to the ground outside the castle walls, her paws now carrying her through the overgrown courtyard.
It was only moments before she discovered the opening the other wolf had disappeared into, and when she peered down into the darkness, she saw the stone steps that led downward. She wondered how deep it was, and where it went to. Excitement prickled through her body. What was down there? She couldn't wait to go have a look. But before she could even think about taking a step inside, the other wolf came back up, causing her to jump back in slight startle. "Woah!" she yipped, the hair along her back spiking up. However, she was much too curious to worry about being frightened. Instead, she shook herself off and looked to the starry-coated male with a big grin, her eyes gleaming. "So, what did you find down there?" she demanded excitedly, bounding over to the opening in the ground, "Is there treasure? Trinkets? Does it lead somewhere neat?" She glanced from the wolf down to the opening, a forepaw already reaching down to the first stone step, before she looked back at the other with her tail waggling, as though asking for permission; after all, he had discovered this entry, but if he denied her... well she was far too tempted to enter, she might just go in anyways.
