Hallucination Caves Altar

Usagi..had to be dreaming.

Stumbling upon this strange cave was one thing, but its contents were beyond anything the hohei had ever encountered. Dizzying, alluring, and incredibly dangerous if one should be unable to re-trace their steps the further in they went. Accompanied by his boyfriend, the koi pair had ventured off from the maze, surprisingly encountering a scent trail, or several, indicating that some of their pack mates and their Kaicho had come here as well. Not too unexpected, considering the cave’s approximation to their land. The stars on the cave’s ceiling were jarring to the male, who narrowed his chartreuse gaze in suspicion. The various colors and fauna and flora - unnaturally glowing and bright in color - made him feel just a tad nauseous. He pressed against his love’s side, wondering if the taller male felt similarly uneasy as well. He wasn’t enraptured by the sights, instead only swallowing down his distaste for the bizarre environment to pad towards the altar in front of them.

Butterflies were flittering sbout the strangest statue he’d ever seen. Usagi couldn’t help but raise a brow as he scanned its features, unable to identify was exactly was so off about it. Perhaps it was one limb too many. One eye extra. The strange tentacle-like appendages that erupted from its head. A strange knot twisted in his stomach as the male pressed forward, only parting from Kunai’s side to present his offering that he had nearly forgotten was in his grasp. It was a well-crafted flute, made from high-quality bamboo he’d chopped and carved himself. If one were to play it, it would have soft, delicate notes - lilting and gentle. He placed the bsmboo flute on the base of the altar with everyone else’s offerings, and should Kunai step up and offer his piece as well, he’d dutifully press back to the chimera’s side as they would set off from the caves together. Usagi, of course, being a bit hurried - the place made him uncomfortable.
