Into the Depths: Investigating the Shimmering Shore Tunnels (Group 1)

After Ulfr has successfully pulled the younger fae back to the surface, a name was given. Noor. Isa offered the gold marked fae a reassuring smile but all of that was soon washed away as the tunnel rumbled once more. Pebbles and chunks of dirt danced along the floor of the tunnel, vibrations rippling through the ground. The reason why soon showed itself.
Erupting from below came a massive... something. It looked kind of like a worm, but there was a flared opening at its head and a great eye within. The orb roiled and shifted, looking about until it settled upon the quartet of wolves. Surprisingly, Noor stepped forward, a growl rippling from a throat that had formerly been frozen in fear. She'd just met the fae, but Isa was proud.
The cobalt and ice woman stepped forward as well, her own growl ripping from her throat as hackled raised. She wasn't the most skilled fighter, but she could do it when necessary. She would fight now if her old bones would cooperate. All thoughts of finding Sirius were gone. All that she had was here and now. She would protect those around her to the best of her ability, or she would die trying.
Hefting one of the many stones within one paw, Isa chucked it with all of her strength at the worm. Her aim was true and it struck the beast in its big, peering eye. Isa danced to the side, trying to pull the worms attention away from the other three and onto herself. They were young and still full of life. She was not and had lived a good, full life. If she could save them by sacrificing herself, then she would do so. Hopefully none of them were feeling brave and realized what she was doing so that her efforts wouldn't be wasted.
