firelit depths

There was just so much to the Col. From wide open spaces, to narrow caverns that even made Levi feel a little claustrophobic. Beyond the well organised tunnels and sheer cliff faces, Levi wandered along the territories edge and furrowed his brows when a dark pit came into view. Unlike any he'd seen the Armada put to use. He took a moment to breathe deep, nostrils flaring as he noticed a strange scent, one he decided shouldn't be here. In all honesty, he wasn't sure if this counted as Armada land or not. From what he could tell Sirius hadn't made a claim to it, but it was within the Col and thus by extension it was theirs, right?

Surely that was how it worked.

Stepping into the darkness, his eyes took a moment to adjust to the sudden shift in lighting. From day to...dusk on fire. In the distance the walls shone and flickered red and orange, drawing him close as his ears flicked forwards, listening and waiting. Just like the rest of the Col the ground beneath his paws was hard and uneven, slanted with the erosion of time, and yet none of the other rocks he'd seen shone like this. Smouldered, like he ought to be feeling some sort of heat. A refuge from the winter storms outside. Maybe that's why the intruder had slipped inside, couldn't scent the border beyond the howling wind.

He scanned his surroundings once more. Where were they?
