I wanted so badly to be brave

They had been seeking something different -- a land that they could clearly say was something out of their normal comfort zone of exploring. But descending into the ravine was proving to be a puzzling task for the massive tri-color creature. Melanthios stood at the edge of the wooded area, gazing down a rocky slope with an uncertain look in their fiery gaze. This path, while it would be possible to descend, did not look to be the most ideal for a creature of their size. No doubt rocks and shit would be shifting as they made their descent…

Was it worth the attempt?

Melanthios considered their options as they eyed the way down. If they did explore the unknown area, well, they could have yet another land explored under their belt. They furrowed their brows. But if they made a wrong move they could up trapped at the bottom of the ravine and left for dead… not exactly a pleasing thought.

‘Shame Gavroche isn’t here… I bet he’d be willing to check it out for me.’ Mela thought to themselves as they reminded themselves of their much smaller cousin. Plus Gav was light enough that he wouldn’t have to worry about destroying the path back up. Though it might take him some time to make it up and down the path…

Mela flicked an ear.

Maybe it’d be worth it.
