Once home to the Crystal Cities of the Hunter clans, Craiss Caverns is now a hollow empty shell of its former glory due to a strange misfortune in the past. Man-made tunnels now lead to this place, but tales tell of some never returning. (+3 Defense, +2 Offense)

[size=85](bumble [2.1] and ana [2.1] in ani-anthro, hoover the skwyrm [1.0]-let's pretend i did this when he was a baby-in little squirmy baby form)


The slick, willowy yellow-tinged figure walked for what seemed like years in the lulling nothingness. Ana thought herself snow-blind and deaf and dumb and somewhat aged kind of after the first few minutes and allowed the rocking motion of the jar to lift her to a deep sleep, using the squirmy, lonely larvae as a pillow. Time seemed forever frozen but at the same time, rapidly advancing. In her dreams she felt the heaviness of age, bones lengthening, snout enlarging, claws becoming thick and chipper like slices of fragile birch bark. Youth to teen to adult, dust to dust. The great beast carrying her jar looked down and smiled at this with a father-like sincerity and continued walking until the whiteness dithered into an inky darkness and his footsteps became echoed from flat pats to wet puddle smacks on long-abandoned stones. Water dripped at random intervals from an unseeable ceiling, breaking the unnerving silence he worked through just previously.
He snapped together his thick claws, the clipping sound producing an eerie green foxfire that lit the wet cavern the group found themselves in. He maneuvered through the moist air and came to a small wooden table adorned with a gas lamp. Setting down the full jar, he used his free hand to flick the ridged dial, filling the cave with a promising golden light.[/size]

The den itself was a little cavern, each wall flickering with thousands of tiny moving beads of ochre light. They emanated from hundreds upon thousands of miniscule runes that came alive with the gaslight he blessed unto the room. He walked over to a particular yet seemingly unspecial wall and carved a shimmering green path in the salt rock with his fingers, layers of crumbly sodium loudly falling away as he inched his claw along the surface slowly.
The crashes of split stones against rock woke the sleeping pair in the jar with a startle, consciousness coming back to them like honey from a sieve, the world new and blurry like birth. Everything was cold.
"W-what?...H-h-hhello?" She snuggled up against the larvae piteously, savoring the cocoon's inner warmth, fearfully looking at her body; her hands, long and lean, her body taller than before, eyelashes long and shining with droplets of condensation. Ana began looking at her new surroundings through the distorted lens the jar afforded her. The baby shifted. Ana, of course, being Ana, she made two rather astute observations: the jar was glass and nigh breakable, and she had absolutely no clue on the god-given terra where the crackerjack she was.
Bumblebees are assholes.
