Glow Worms

Belle hadn’t planned on making a return to the mysterious caverns after being flushed out by an angry mother cave bear. She wasn’t quite prepared to cross the river yet, and returned here for shelter during the daylight hours and maybe get a little bit of food before travelling further north. The second time around she wasn’t going to be taken by surprise and had her wits about her. Mostly by keeping to the paths that did not smell of bear.

This way was much more pleasant anyway. The Klein’s path was eventually lit by the light of fungi instead of the sun. The young woman hadn’t been given a chance to examine any of it the first time she wandered down here. Now her bright orchid eyes wouldn’t be coaxed away.

She should have been searching, looking for clues to where her brother might be. Belle was still a princess at heart though, and continued on as she decided she deserved the moments to herself.

The fress wolf scent she had disregarded at the entrance suddenly got stronger as Belle sniffed the ground and air. Somehow even down here she was offered opportunity. Deathbelle quickly sought the stranger out in the darkness, hungry for information.


”Wolf?” She called out, hopeful for a quick answer.
