firelit depths

It was absolutely frigid up in the north. How she had gotten turned around and made it this far was beyond her. She had been attempting to make it to Abaven, but the storm howling outside of the caverns was at its peak. Snow drifted off the mountain's face as gusts of wind pelted her. Body wracking shivers continued and proved to be a sure sign that she needed to leave the elements and stay somewhere until the monstrous force subsided. With her one good eye barely open and her trusty bobcat companion, Mack, on her other side, the duo slipped in off the ridge's path into quiet and calm darkness.

Ahead, a faint glow lit their path. Almost beckoning them to draw closer. A faint scent of someone else alerted her and Mack, but there was something else that also drew them in. Unable to place it, the duo glanced at each other before continuing. Careful not to slip on the uneven stone beneath their paws, Audra and Mack rounded the corner to see a long hallway lined with smoldering and flickering veins of light. Lit up by who knew what, they continued to follow the path toward the refreshing scent of forestry and someone else.

Closer to the end, hidden among the shadows, Mack finally noticed the small boy. The fur along his spine bristled as his lips pulled back to reveal crystal encased fangs. Audra's nose wrinkled as her shoulder leaned into his. "He-he hasn't d-done anything y-yet," she murmured quietly to Mack before stepping forward toward the boy. The pack scent on him was a pack she hadn't met yet except for a tinge of someone... Hanako. Yes, the fiery girl that had raced her back in the day. Smiling gently, Audra let her gaze wander over toward the end of the hallway.

"I-I'm Audra a-and th-this is Mack," the petite russet female introduced them first before she glanced back over. "C-care if w-we explore with you?" Truthfully, there was nowhere else to go until the storm subsided. If the boy was kind enough, he would be okay with the two of them joining. If not, Mack was always there to protect her.
