the nose knows

She was making her way slowly back towards Lirim territory. The past few seasons had been... difficult to say the least. There was a small light at the end of the tunnel: the pack was starting to feel like a real home. For that much she was grateful. Rags must have taken a wrong turn somewhere - this wasn't like any place she'd ever seen before. There was an eerie glow deep within the caves that had caught her eye. Curiosity had gotten the better of her and Rags had ambled far deeper than she'd meant to. Typically she considered herself a fair navigator, but there was just something particularly exciting about an unexplored cave. Especially one that was glowing.

The walls of the cave were slick and there was a musty smell all about. Luckily it didn't seem like there were any other creatures lurking within the cave's depths. Rags lowered her nose to the ground, her limp ears flopping forward over her bi-colored eyes. That smell was familiar. She could tell a fungus from a mold any day! With renewed interest, the piebald female ventured further into the cave, careful to maneuver her stiff legs over the slippery stones.
