The lightning flashed overhead, although it did not illuminate much. It was followed by a rolling thunder, almost scaring a certain Hydrokuhna down below out of her wits. Not to mention it was raining. A lot.
Skye wasn't too sure why she was out in a thundershower, in the middle of the day though it may be. Perhaps it was because the kits she was taking care of wanted to go out. She would have been content with taking them to Terrace Park, where it was nice and safe, but noooooo - these kits wanted to head for Craiss and see the Crystal cities the hunters left behind.
The thing was, these weren't her kits - they were the progeny of another kuhna in her pen, the demon Ankara. As he had other business to tend towards, he had left his children with her for their safety. And it was just Skye's luck that they, too, were demons.
The darker of the two kits, a murky kuhna named Oroki, was already at the mouth of the cave, being much faster than either Skye or his sister. Rearing up on his back legs, he gazed at the cave with wonder in his eyes.
"Looky, Aunty Skye! Looky, Tia! It's the cave!" he said, childish wonder filling his voice.
"I see it, Oroki." Skye called back, a tone of friendliness in her voice - although the tone was mainly to conceal her fear of what they might find in there.
Tiamat, a light-colored Translucent kit, was quick in joining her brother next to the cave entrance. Although she said nothing, she too was happy to be here. It beat standing around at home - it was too humid in the kuhna temple, or at least in her opinion.
Skye was a bit slow in getting there. By the time she got to the place the kits were standing, they had already gone into the cave - although for different reasons. Tiamat wanted to get out of the rain, Oroki was getting impatient.
"Come on, Aunty Skye! Don't you want to see the cities?" Oroki asked.
Skye was hesitant in answering, but eventually walked into the cave as well. "I'm still not too sure why this was your choice...." she said.
"Don't worry, Aunty Skye, we'll handle everything!" Oroki said, just before Tiamat playfully pounced on her brother. Giggling insanely, both kits darted off into the darkness.
"Hey! Be careful!" Skye called out after them, then rolled her eyes.
Demons, she thought before running off after her wayward companions.
