Spooky Cave (Winter)

*Winter* · 11-02-2020, 10:29 PM

The anxiety rose the further they went. It was a strange feeling...a strangled feeling. She had never known anxiety before today, but so far, since her trek into this cave...it was all she was beginning to feel. Only she didn't know what to call it. Her heart wouldn't stop pounding and she felt almost like she was about to freeze up and choke. As her companion led her further down the path in search of a way out, the pair heard a cracking noise above them. Winter glanced up in the nick of time to see a shower of terrifyingly large crystals hurtling towards her. Eyes widened as she attempted to scramble out of the way, a silent yelp coming from her while a loud screech came from her companion. One of the shards managed to catch her cape, tearing it away from her as she threw herself forward in an ungraceful roll as she narrowly escaped the barrage of crystals.

She terrified. She was exhausted. She was in pain. She wanted to go home. Why had she come here? She had heard the saying curiosity killed the cat but she always scoffed at the thought. Well, not she believed it. She literally felt like she was the cat and her curiosity for coming into this place would likely get her killed. Panting, she stumbled into the next room to find more fireflies lighting it up and dancing around. Were she not so riddled with fear and anxiety, she would have perhaps felt a little calmer with the ambiance. But as it was, she felt like a bundle of nerves. Even more so when she spotted a strange, cloaked figure sitting atop a crystal throne. “You have entered my realm and come to see me with your own mortal eyes,” She stood frozen to the spot, eyes widened as it spoke. The youth was unaware of the wall of fireflies that blocked her path now. “I can let you go, perhaps, if you give me something instead.” She wanted to swallow, but couldn't. Before she knew it, the fireflies angrily buzzed around her, throwing themselves into her fur and the action forced her to cower, her tail tucking as she pressed herself to the ground. “You are a true monster, wolf! Your crimes must be punished! I demand… that monkey for your payment! Or do you think you deserve to be free?”

What? Pale gaze opened as she stared at him, then at her companion who tried to reach her side. "W-what? B-but I've never done anything mean in my life! P-please, I'm sorry if we offended you! We didn't mean to! We were just curious!" She glanced around, wondering if there was a way out, but...even if she wanted to run, her legs were frozen with fear. Hastily, she removed the razor tips she kept on her claws and tossed them on the ground, "I cannot offer my companion, they're like family to me...w-what if I offered these?" She meekly gestured to the weapons, "I m-made them myself, and if that's not enough...maybe I can do a task for you?" She didn't know if that would be enough, but at the very least...it was something.

Winter offers her razor claw (weapon) and a task?
