Spooky Cave (Alastor)

Alastor was pleased to discover the dull throbbing pain in his paw subsided with each lap of the water until the sprain had become little more than a fading memory. He flexed his paw, marveling for a moment before continuing his swim across the water. Despite the numbness in his feet, he reached the other side, only to find he was leaving bloody paw prints in his wake. Muttering several curses under his breath, he tried to lap the blood away to subside it, but pressed on. To his dismay, the only tunnel forward seemed to grow smaller and smaller until he had to duck his head and crouch to continue. A dire wolf was not meant for spelunking, it turned out. Fortunately, he found a fork in the road, sparing him from the increasingly tight corridor he was in. Although the way looked more risky, it couldn't have been riskier than chancing getting stuck somewhere he couldn't get out of. Taking a breath to steel his nerves and praying to whatever gods might have existed that this cave didn't become his tomb, he turned down the larger tunnel. It was far too late to turn back now. The only way out was forward.
