**Thread is using liquid time to take place before the brothers meet Avacyn**
When Chade brought back a huge, fat rabbit for the brothers to share, Ricin had greedily devoured his share. With the rabbit sating his hungry and giving him more energy than he has felt in a long time, Ricin had felt the need to explore. With sweet words and more than a little coaxing, Ricin convinces to brother to take a detour and go explore a strange mountain that Ricin had seen. Paws happily prance along as Ricin leads them toward the dark and ominous mountain face. Nothing seems to be able to dampen his happy mood. Even the unnatural twilight that seems to have replaced the daylight does nothing to deter him from his objective.
As the mountain’s shadow seems to beckon them onward, Ricin spies the strange cave opening he had spotted earlier. Pointing to the foreboding entrance, Ricin exclaims, “There it is Ny! We are almost there!” Excitement causes his paws to gather speed until the large archway looms in front of the pair. Stopping to inspect the unnatural rock formation, Ricin says, “Why don’t you set up the alarm Ny while I take a closer look at these stones?” Without waiting for a response, Ricin steps closer to the archway, inspecting the stonework and how it appears to have been carved out of the mountain itself.
Ivy grows around the entrance, climbing the arch and snaking into cracks in the stones. The grass that covers the land seems to stop a few feet short of the entrance and turn into dirt. Pebbles and small rocks litter the dirt pathway into the dark cave and there seems to be no plant life beyond where the grass stops. It seems like there is an a barrier between living and dead. Curious, the lighter brother moves closer to the opening and is struck with a strong musty odor that contains traces of death and decay. Thrill zips along Ricin’s spine as he practically shouts to Chade, “I smell dead stuff!” Delight clearly visible, Ricin darts into the dark, scary cave without a second thought.
