The cat slipped through the darkness, unafraid. Here and there were were cracks in the cieling made by ground water and roots. They let in a pitiful amount of light, but it was enough for feline eyes. Silver?s pupils grew round and black, til the grey-green was just a thin ring on the outside, going from snake to shark as she adjusted to the black. In places were the breaks in the cave roof made vision possible ? it seemed as though great spotlights had been shone down on the walls. There were pictures here? Strange, colorful mud splatters that resembled things in the outside world. Deer. Elk. Bears. Wolves. And strange stick like creatures that walked on two legs. Perhaps it was some hidden planning room of the gods themselves, but it was then they could not be shamed by the intrusion of so lovely a creature upon their work. Silver paws trasped over scared ground, as Silverback brought herself closer to one design after the other. She was aware that she was no longer alone, but she did not dane to look over her shoulder or make any sign of alarm. Here in the underbelly of the earth, her?s was the advantage, but she would not press it unless forced to.
