Decent Descent

Morwenna was out of the loop among the Raiders and had a penchant for getting bored and wander-y. The slippery little wolfdog asked the next wolf she met if they'd like to explore a cave with her, that wolf was Kaija.

And so she stood at the mouth of a cave, in the middle of a desert, in the gathering winter of Boreas. Morwenna had never been into a cave like this before and it was both fascinating and the steep incline a little frightening.

"Kaija, Have you ever been in a cave like this before?" Her paws itched to enter and explore but the daunting darkness inside was a little hard to get over. Did Kaija bring a light source of some sort?

With dainty steps and compact paws, she carefully picked her way down the incline into the deep hole of the cave. A few pieces of rubble were dislodged under one paw and she gasped as they scattered below. The bottom sounded pretty close.

She glanced at the other to see how she was faring, the larger woman probably had more experience spelunking than Morwenna did. She offered a supportive reflexive smile.

She reached the bottom and did a little spin for victory and she made it without breaking one of her spindly fragile legs! At the bottom of the Descensum cave, she marveled at the flourishing lush plants. Dandelion, plantain, clover, and chickweed grew abundantly among the ferns and moss.
"What a marvel this is!" She exclaimed, keeping an eye on Kaija to make sure she was safe.
