Down Below

*Australis* · 09-21-2014, 09:31 AM

He had been observing a small herd of deer moving through the prairie, aqua gave not missing a single move they made through the tall grass. How oblivious they were to the danger just yards away. Lurking downwind of the group, making sure to keep himself low in the grass when ever one of the creatures lifted their head high, scouting for danger. It would be his official scouting mission. The newly appointed hunter mapping the animal's movement and behavior, picking out which one may become his kill within the hour or two should they remain in this pack claimed territory. Lucky for him, they did stay within the boundaries, moving in a circular pattern.

That was when he found it, like a feline's claw had ripped open the earth. A scar marking one of a couple natural disasters that had struck Alacritia within the last three or four years, too long ago for the young male's memory or even existence to know about. The deluge had been created from the earthquake that had hit in summer, the third year of Alacritia being filled with wolves.

Abandoning the herd for now, Australis padded over to the crack in the earth. Head was held high, demeanor calm and relaxed, eyes showing a hint of curiosity from their usual cold and distant gaze. As he grew closer his snout would point downward towards the ground, paws bringing him to a stop at the edge of the hole and aqua gaze looking down into the darkness. It was, odd. Ears swiveled forward, head cocked to the side as he caught the sound of, what he thought was moving water. A river? If it was, how did it even get underground? Questions were forming, yet it frustrated the young man to know that he did not have the answer to them.

"normal.
speech.
thought.
you."
