Time's Up

It had gotten late and the pair of navigators had maybe spent too much time away from the camp. They started heading back with the sun setting earlier every day. Duchess was sure they would be fine to make it back, until the storm clouds started closing in on them from the west.

She still kept moving East, ready to move around Ashen and The Armada but that’s when the rain started to fall. It fell easy at first, but then the down pour happened. Duchess stopped momentarily as her pelt was getting wetter by the second, "I saw a cavern a little west of here, we should be able to wait out the storm there." She shouted through the static of the rain that muffled her ears and then she made quick to the cavern.

She ran in blindly at first, the darkness of the cave was less overwhelming when her main concern was getting out of the rain. But once she jumped in the cave she felt crowded and bumped roughly into one of the walls. She yelped very quietly as the stone cut her, though the small sound echoed through the entrance. She was hoping the cave wasn’t this dark all the way through.
