It seemed cold and stale, or that is what she caught. She barked quietly, but the sound ricocheted around the opening, all the way to the back. Snarling, her ears flattened as she padded forward into the entrance. She slunk through the shadows, working her way to the back. After ducking and moving downward she locked her gaze on crystalline formations surrounding her. They sparkled and twinkled with an unknown light, glimmering rainbows that bounce off the walls. She sat in utter shock, her body locked and relaxed as she gazed about. For a few moments she sat there in awe, before heading onward deeper into the caverns. It was about this time when she wandered into an underground river, little quartz crystals lining the edges. She trotted up to the edge and lowered her muzzle to drink. Almost immediately she pulled back and coughed, spitting out the water. It was salty. She went downstream and found a tidepool. The water seemed crystal clear; how could a tidepool be freshwater? Nova lowered her muzzle and drank her fill, the cold liquid sliding smoothly down her throat. Her lids closed over her ultraviolet eyes. After some time she pulled back and continued her walk through the caverns. Her gaze locked on a deep pool, in which Nova walked to the edge and gazed down. Light flickered from some opening, and she curiously dove in, swimming through. A flash of scaley gray flashed before her and she immediately whipped around and swam back. Her shifting pelt dripped wet as she stood at the edge. Her lips were a frown, and her head was held low with irritation.

[atrb=background,http://i1218.photobucket.com/albums/dd415/Somatra1/tback-3.jpg] [scrolly:h(350),w(300),sy] Thanatos had found this cave not long ago and had been there for quite awhile undisturbed by no one or nothing, only leaving to eat he stayed in the glittering cavern. He had recently caught a bat leaving the cave and into the night sky but he had happily knocked it to the ground and killed it. He now ducked his head to eat it from where he lay against the wall of one of the passages. The strange light that reflected from the underground river cast a rippling reflection upon the stony walls and almost bathed his dirty white fur in silver. Thanatos's ears flicked up and he scanned the cavern with his ruby red eyes. He thought he had heard footsteps and a splash coming from where the river headed out of. There he knew that from the other side that passage looked like a dead end but if one swam underneath the water they would find the entrance to the large sparkling cavern he lay in. He slowly lifted himself to his feet grumbling and figuring that whoever lay beyond the wall hadn't succeeded in finding the passage as he also knew that some sorta silver serpent also made the cavern its home and would usually snap at anyone who entered the water. But it had never affected him he never felt its sharp bites or stinging tail but any other wolf would be seriously injured as the serpent was quite large. He reached the wall and the place where the river flowed through underneath the wall then let out a ghostly howl telling whoever was there to get out aswell as sending a warning. He then took his good paw and scored it across the rock wall sharpening his claws aswell as sending a bone chilling sound throughtout the two caverns. [/scrolly]

[atrb=background,http://i1046.photobucket.com/albums/b469/Plenilune_842/Tables/nova2mid.png] Narration Talking Her body remained in its tense and irritated state as an ear flicked, hearing the quiet sound of an eerie howl. She almost jumped at the loud screech of something that sounded like nails on a chalkboard; a sweet sound to her ears. Smiling darkly she turned back around, and making sure the serpent wasn’t in her path she dove speedily through, almost leaping out of the water and falling onto the ground beside the mortui. Standing up she turned her back to him, and shook out her long pelt. It sent splatters of liquid diamonds everywhere. Then regaining her dominant posture she turned back to the mortui male and growled in greeting, drips of water falling off her muzzle. Her violet gaze was cold as they burned into the mortui’s scarlet ones. Hello, Mortui. What are you doing in this cave? I thought the caverns were abandoned. Straight to the point like Nova always is. The way he stood and acted made him seem a little crude; smiling to herself, she thought hmmm maybe this one will understand how funny cruelty is. standing up, she walked over to the edge of the river and laid down, one paw hanging over the edge. She felt the water rush through her fur, swirling around her limb. UV loved the feel of the liquid. She turned her gaze back to the creature with a death-stench, wrinkling her nose at the odor.

[atrb=background,http://i1218.photobucket.com/albums/dd415/Somatra1/tback-3.jpg] [scrolly:h(350),w(300),sy] Thanatos snarled as he heard a splash on the other side of the cave and then another on this side spraying him with icy water. When she got out and shook herself off and walked over to the edge of the river and layed down her paw in the water, he became confused. She showed no fear at him, none whatsoever like she had seen him once before. "Who are you? How did you find the entrance to my cave? And it indeed was his cave, he had found the secret entrance, gotten past the silver serpent. The bones of the food he had previously eaten were scattered across the stone floor, his claws marked the walls. "And how may I ask did you get past the toothed serpant, I see no marks on you so either it he was not their at the time or you just got lucky because so far no one but me has been able to get past it." He approached her his walk sounding like clanking bones until he stood right in front of her towering over her as she was laying down and waited for her answer, his patience at being disturbed thinning rapidly.

[atrb=background,http://i1046.photobucket.com/albums/b469/Plenilune_842/Tables/nova2mid.png] Narration Talking Oh I do apologize if I intruded. Call me Nova, if you wish, and I merely wandered into the caverns due to my curiosity getting the best of me. On the other side I saw an opening at the bottom of the water pool, so I decided to swim through. I merely got lucky passing that blasted serpent. Those beasts are so incredibly unique. Smiling coldly, Nova lifted her piercing ultraviolet gaze into his own. No she didn’t want to be cruel to him; he seemed just as tortured as she was. The mortui towered over her, yet she felt no fear; only pleasure at the fact someone loved to be demanding and cruel like she was. She stood, only a mere 5 or so inches shorter, and her smile widened. She was enjoying this very much so. She turned her gaze from him to view the cave; bones lay scattered everywhere, and claw marks scarring the walls gave it a sense of eeriness. She shivered with joy. She took a few steps back and laid back down beside the river. Mind if I stay here a while mortui? I do not have a current place to reside and this cavern fits my personality quite well.She growled playfully as she asked the dying mortui.

[atrb=background,http://i1218.photobucket.com/albums/dd415/Somatra1/tback-3.jpg] [scrolly:h(350),w(300),sy] Thanatos's watched as the female stood only a few inches shorter than him then looked at him her violet eyes meeting his red ones. His eyes widened as memories came flooding back and he was soon lost in the purple depths. He had eyes like that of the same brightness and colour, he was so young then, so eager to learn. But that was years ago, oh how depressed he was when they changed he had put himself into a blind rage destroying everything in his path. It wasn't long after that, that his body started to decay and he lost his good life. He shook himself out of it and looked back to the female who was now laying down once more. He then heard her ask if she could stay for a bit but his mind was still lost in memories to think properly but he soon got to his senses. Looking back at the female trying to avoid her eyes he spoke softly in less of a threatening tone. "First of all I have a name it is not mortui and I don't like it when you call me that as I used to be a lupus like you, my name is Thanatos. And if you keep your distance and stay on the other side of this here river you may stay." The other side of the river was the brighter part of the cavern, it was cleaner and untouched by his claws, though it was smaller. He didn't like to be touched hence she wished for her to keep her distance. The river was slow moving and and could easily be jumped. The gorgeous blue and purple gems above the cave that lit the cave aswell as made the river sparkle were mostly on the opposite side, hence the light. He guessed the female would be quite pleased with it either that or she would have to find another cavern to stay in. He was a good sport at heart and he would not toss the female out without a reason though he was not as pleased that he no longer had the cave to himself but he assumed she would be outside more than him.

[atrb=background,http://i1046.photobucket.com/albums/b469/Plenilune_842/Tables/nova2mid.png] Narration Talking Oh I’m sorry Thanatos I do apologize. And I thank you for letting me stay. Nova stood and bowed gently in a graceful motion before standing up and walking across the river. While passing her new friend, she gently grazed his shoulder with hers, in a nonthreatening calming manner. The water splashed little as she moved through the water and out onto the other side. She looked around and spotted a moss bed, in which she went and made herself comfortable, watching the mortui softly. I do hope I’m not imposing. I’d hate to be a bother. Her voice was quiet and alluring, and she tried to make it sound like she wanted company. Not that she did, but she didn’t not want company either. Lowering her violet gaze from his scarlet one she bowed her head and closed her eyes softly.

[atrb=background,http://i1218.photobucket.com/albums/dd415/Somatra1/tback-3.jpg] [scrolly:h(350),w(300),sy] Thanatos tensed as she brushed his shoulder but then relaxed as she splashed through the river to the other side of the cave. He watched as she lay down on a bed of moss and closed her eyes. He then walked over to the back of the cave where a hole about the size of a gold ball lay in the ceiling. The hole came from all the way from the top of the cliff. This hole gave him a concept of time as he always checked the light from this. Under the hole a small pool of icy water lay and he lapped some up before looking through the hole. The sun was disappearing over the horizon and he knew that as dinner time. He backed away from the hole and towards the other end of the river. There was another exit there that wasn't inhabited by anything and the opening a bit larger. This led into another cave but an open one where you could easily just walk outside there millions of bats inhabited the ceilings and he knew by now that each night at this time they woke up and fled the cave. He would usually jump into the air and grab around 5 of them easily. And that was what he was planning to do. He walked to the waters edge then turned looking back at the sleeping Nova then jumping into the cold water easily finding the entrance to the next cave and resurfacing in the front of it. He could see the sun clearly now as if it were sinking in the sea. He looked up seeing the bats stretch their wings as they got ready to take flight. But to him they were taking to long and he was starving. He snarled, and the bats screeched and took flight. He leaped up into the air, not caring about his limp even though it usually put him off balance. He grabbed two in one snap, he then leaped again grabbing three small ones. Jumping again he caught one fairly large fruit bat then threw it in his growing pile. He leaped once more grabbing three more small ones by the wings and tossing them on top of the fruit bat. He turned to pick them up when one stupid small one smacked him in the face he quickly killed it and placed it on the ground. He counted his catch, making ten fruit bats all together though most small and bite size the largest one was about the size of his head not counting its large wings. It would be difficult to get them to the other side without dropping them but he would try his best. He grabbed the big one by the wing and one by one grabbed all ten. His mouth was full of wings by the time he reached the river once more. He dove in and resurfacing noisily cause it was hard to breathe past the skin. He walked over the middle of the cave dropping them in a pile that resembled a pyramid. He then shook himself and jumped over the river landing awkwardly due to his paws. He walked up to Nova and gave a low but nice growl. "Hungry?" [/scrolly]

[atrb=background,http://i1046.photobucket.com/albums/b469/Plenilune_842/Tables/nova2mid.png] Narration Talking Nova popped her eyes open as she watched the mortui dive into the water through a cleft in the rock which appeared to be a hole to another cavern. Tilting her head, she watched the hole and listened carefully. Snarls and screeches echoed through the cavern, and her gaze narrowed as she imagined the pain from the bats. Shivering, she waited as he swam back in carrying four billion bats (or so it seemed) in his mouth. Her gaze narrowed suspiciously as he dropped the bats and walked over to her. Scooting back slightly she drove her narrow gaze back up to him. UV stood, shaking the moss from her pelt, and walked over to the pile of food. She stood over it, staring at it, before turning her head back toward Thanatos. This seems to be a little much… Unless you decided to hunt for me as well. In which I thank you. Bowing her head she picked up a few of the tinier ones as to not be greedy and leapt the river. As she landed one slipped from her grip and she growled in irritation. She picked it back up and trotted over to her moss bed, and lay down a little farther from Thanatos as she started to get uncomfortable being so close. Her eyes were locked on the mortui as she devoured her food. After a few moments she stood and padded over to the toher side of the river on a flat round stone. Sitting upon it, she raised her head and muzzle to the ceiling. Opening her maw released a beautiful song into the air, hopefully to catch the other wolf’s attention; not that she cared of course. Her voice flowed smoothly and the tone was deep and rich, filling the air with its melody. I need another story, Somethin’ to get off my chest… My life gets kinda boring, Need something that I can confess… ‘Til all my fur is stained red, From all the truth that I’ve said… Come by it honestly I swear. Thought you saw me wink, no, I been on the brink So tell me what you want to hear, Something that will erase my fears, I’m sick of all the insincere So I’m gonna give all my secrets away…

[atrb=background,http://i1218.photobucket.com/albums/dd415/Somatra1/tback-3.jpg] [scrolly:h(350),w(300),sy] Thanatos nodded to her and watched as she took a few and jumped over to her side of the cave to eat them. He grabbed the large one and walked over to his bed of moss by the hole in the roof. It wasn't long before he finished it in a few famished gulps then looked over to Nova who seemed to be coming closer. She then sat a on a flat stone and with that Thanatos tilted his head questioningly. Then without a word she lifted her head and began to sing. His ears lifted at the wonderful sound, he used to listen to the songs his mother sang to him as a pup but that all had ended, he hadn't heard anyone sing for over six years. This female seemed to bring back the memories that he had thought he had long forgotten. He got up and walked over to her sitting down and listening to her song it flowed with the river and her voice was striking. He stared at her eyes once more with such longing it was hard not to be noticed. "You have a wonderful voice, almost as wonderful as your eyes." he said absent mindedly. He stood up once more gave her a slight nod and walked slowly back his place, head and tail low. He then lay back down his head on his paws watching the bright eyed female. OOC: Sorry for the shortness [/scrolly]

[atrb=background,http://i1046.photobucket.com/albums/b469/Plenilune_842/Tables/nova2mid.png] Narration Talking Nova’s song drew out for a few more moments before slowly drawing to a close and she finally noticed Thanatos sitting close by. The passion and longing in his gaze made her tense and narrow her eyes suspiciously. They burned into his own scarlet ones and she saw a hint of what he had been; a playful loving pup with eyes as deep and rich as her own. Her maw opened slightly in a gasp as the feeling rushed by her. He spoke, seeming to not be in control of his words as he complimented her. If it weren’t for her cruel and cold exterior she might’ve realized she was blushing slightly. The tension surrounding the lupus faded as he stood and walked away, her violet gaze watching is every move. Little did she realize, she had a some feelings for this wolf. It was going to take a while before she could tell whether they were good or bad. She stood hesitantly, shaking out her pelt before deciding where to go. The air was getting stuffy, so she thought about swimming away for a few moments. Then, she thought about just going to lay in her corner, alone, and sleep for the rest of the time. But then, her gaze locked on Thanatos’ laying body. Should she? She took a few hesitant steps toward him, planning on going to lie near him and talk but backed out at the last few moments. Leaping the river she hurriedly padded to her bed with her tail held very low and lay down putting her back to him. After a few moments her mind drifted, and she remembered all she had pushed away for the sake of her cruelty. Maybe she never deserved a second chance, or even a first chance at that. Tears welled and fell from her open eyes, gazing absently at the wall. They flowed faster, and dripped on the cavern floor. She released a tiny whimper, so quiet and held in because she didn’t want to be heard.
