when the whole world trembles and shakes

Alpine tried to reassure him but in all honesty it didn't ease his worries over Surreal never mind for Alpine himself. Would they all be okay? Erani was amazing yes but wasn't that because she was an alpha? Didn't all alpha's have powers like her? Or was it just Erani herself and her bloodlines that were so cool? Maybe he would never know. But as Alpine said he had to start thinking about himself and Alpine, had to start worrying about getting themselves out. Though Erion couldn't help but constantly look backwards he would continue moving forwards with Alpine. But after a moment of walking in silence Alpine would answer the young boys question, they were under the world? For a short time Erion would blink, trying to comprehend these words. How could they be underneath the world? He looked down at his paws suddenly feeling so small and useless up against it all before looking back up at Alpine as he continued to explain that they must be in some caves. Maybe there was another way out...? Hadn't Surreal told them to stay put? But then again they already knew that there was no way for Alpine or Erion to get up the way they had come so it seemed that another way out was really the only option. Erion's lip trembled at the thought of having to move further into the darkness but he said nothing out loud.

As they stopped at the edge of the water Erion would try and stand on his own, testing his balance on three legs now that the world was a bit more steady beneath his paws. It wasn't great. And the weight of the gravity against his broken paw was painful, though it was more of a dull ache then anything awful. Was it adrenaline? His father had told him many times that adrenaline was far better then any herb you could use. But what would happen when that wore off? His worries were quelled for a small moment as Alpine spoke again, trying to brush off the idea of his ribs being a big deal. Erion knew they were a big deal though... "My dad said that ribs can be the most painful thing to hurt... And they they're the hardest thing to treat..." He said softly, weirded out a bit at the fact he remembered these things. But all those worries were still as Alpine told him to climb up and how to act when they had to go through the water.

For a moment all Erion could do was stand there on his own and watch Alpine's slightly lighter form slip into the water. Was this a good idea? But then again what other choices did they have? Slowly Erion would follow his mentor in, hobbling lightly until he was first beside Alpine then throwing his unwounded fore and hind paw over Alpine's back. "Okay... Lets try this... Tell me if it hurts though." He said softly, ready to bail off Alpine's back if he had to. As Alpine started to swim Erion would too, using his forepaws only to swim along with the bigger male. Where were the going? How long would they be swimming? More importantly... "What lives down here?" He couldn't help but wonder out loud. Would there be something in the water? Would there be something for them to hunt? Would they starve to death down here? At least they had found some water, his father had always told him that dehydration was always worse then starvation and that you could survive longer off water then you could off food. Maybe they could stay here until Surreal came back. Though he was content with letting Alpine take the lead, not wanting to make any decisions for their little rag tag team.
