~*~ Drip..... Drip..... Drip.... Somewhere out there, the groudwater was trailing down the spire of stone to ripple the pools in the darkness. Silver brows, plumed with stray whiskers curled above grey-green eyes. "Well now," cooed the siren into the solace. "This is more like it." It was what any hill cat would've loved to find - a treasure hidden away in the mountains. From the outside, it appeared to be no more than a narrow scar in the rock face - the hollow of some crag, perhaps a crevice weathered by time. But it was no simple cranny. This was the mother of all caves! What had started out as simple clay tunnels studded here and there with grey stone, now opened up into an underground palace! Silverback's cat eyes enabled her to see everything to near perfection - stalagtites hang down like chandeliers from the cieling, stalamites rose up from the ground like furnititure, and some of them, some of them joined together to form columns that helped support the massive roof high above. It was marvelous. Their were pools scattered across the cave floor, some quite wide but all very shallow. This was a masterpeice of nature, and at once Silverback felt the desire to claim it as her own... but she wasn't out here in search of a home, was she? She was in search of another leopard, and here there were no scents of one. Oh well. At least there was the granduer of her surroundings to console her. But there was something else too. The scent, not of cat, but of canine. Silverback smirked to herself and awaited the entrance of the stranger. |
