It had been much too long since Zee had left the territories, the only time spent in 'no man's land' in her last year or more being the walk from their plains to the Col and then down to the Carpathius' castle in Auster. It was easy to become complacent, especially when one was ageing as quickly as she and her husband had been. It was an entire lifetime ago that they had established their pack and claimed their tropical home.. and now they had grandchildren. The Hallows' wedding had put a bit of life back into her, infused her with the joy of watching her daughter be wed, and given her a burst of confidence as she was crowned the champion of the evening's tournament. On the back of that victory, an adventure seemed much more doable.

The territory was one she had not been to in years, not since before the volcano had erupted. Absently she wondered whether it was the eruption itself that had brought this mysterious new cave system to light, or whether it had been hidden within Abaven all along? Carefully she climbed up along the rocky ledge, unperturbed by the height and cold ocean breeze. "I think it's just up here." She had to raise her voice against the sounds of water crashing onto rock below, turning her head back over her shoulder to grin down at her trailing husband. "Careful."

Following the trail upwards was the most difficult part of the journey yet, but the path was wide enough for a dire which was only that much more comfortable for Zee's middling width. She pressed up tight against the ledge as she rounded a corner beneath the jutting stone, and then disappeared into the cavernous opening.
