Spooky Cave (Alastor)

What was this? A hidden gemstone set into small alcove along the staircase! Alastor paused his descent, rolling the tiny gem between his paws for a moment, then he found another, and another! Alastor's grin widened with each gem he found, collecting each one as he went until he had reached the bottom. Left standing in the dark cavern, the brindled wolf tried to peer around to gain his bearings, but was disturbed by a shuffling sound dead ahead. Alastor's head snapped in the direction of the noise, eyes locked on nothing in particular, ears standing erect on his head and perked forward to catch any other sounds. There it was again! Some sort of scuffle of something against the stone floor. All of his senses kicked into high alert, the wolf's ears pinning back to his head as he bared his fangs in a silent snarl, still straining his ears to try and identify what he was hearing. He was not about to be caught off guard if it turned out to be a threat, but he'd already come this far—retreating seemed so cowardly to do now. Heart beating faster to rush adrenaline to his muscles, Alastor took a single slow step toward the sound, body wound tight like a spring, ready to burst into either attempt a pounce or a dodge. The thought of what sort of creature could dwell within a hidden underwater cave did put him on edge, but did not deter him from trying to proceed further. "Who's there? I can hear you!" he barked into the darkness, praying that he wasn't making a mistake.
