Fight Like Your Gods and Monsters
While some of his family had temporarily abandoned the home over the fact it wasn't satisfying, from the start Terrae was clearly determined to find a piece of the beach that suited him. He had been expecting greenery, and that was certainly what the beach lacked aside from small patches of grass and a few palms. Others had what they wanted right before them with no effort finding them whatsoever. It had been a challenge pretending to like his new home only so he would not bring disappoint to the elder brothers. His life would have been almost boring if his and Faye's discovery had not been accomplished. A cave beyond compare, all to themselves. He held no intention to blab this secret to the family. It would be his and the female's to share.
As he thought, no words could describe the natural display surrounding them. She attempted to describe the area, but despite being a talented wordsmith she only gave up at such a task. The woman seemed to have more of her interest caught with the alien-like formations blooming on the stone walls, not that the "spa" was the only intriguing aspect of the miniature paradise. They were like flowers, flourishing freely with no limitations to the heights they reached. And like the whole cavern around them, they were flawless jewels. If only he could turn a part of the formation into a pendant and use it as a priceless gift, and that would only happen if he would dare break such a creation.
Unlike the roaring rhythmic waves upon the surface, this was a completely different environment providing relaxation rather than playfulness. Heat radiated from the bubbling spring, clinging to his fur and demanding him to enter. Usually he was a strong minded character, but with such an irresistible decision, how could he resist? The man shot the female an expressionless glance before it faded into a mischievous grin as another forepaw was dabbed into the whispering water. What was he waiting for? The rest of his body slithered in without too much noise amplifying from the spring, swallowed by the cleansing liquid. A shiver trembled through his spine as his body melted over the sensation and warmth.
"This can be our little secret." A soft coo slipped from his lips, almost a breath-like whisper. Hazel optics glimmered in the unique glowing light as he lifted his chin to trail his gaze over her curved form. His tone resembled that of a child's, whenever puppy secrets were told to be kept. "No-one else needs to know about this." |
