The entrance to the dark cavern was blocked by a crowd of people, desperate for an akail. Or just a glimpse! Tommy sighed shaking her head. Why couldn't she have been sent to a desolate place to hunt for these odd things? There was no way Tommy would be able to ride her motorcycle in there without scaring the wits out of every thing within a 10 miles radius!

She kicked the stand of her bike to the ground, taking off her goggles. Well here goes nothin'! Tommy muttered, smiling to herself. Wait a moment! A devious smile lit her face as she walked back to her bike. Apparently someone had told Tommy that Akail and other creatures hated noise. So, in her twisted logic, making noise would probebly bring them out.

Tommy kicked her kickstand back up, and hopped on the motorbike. Ah, this would be fun. Vrrrr... Vrrrrr.. VRRRR Her hand expertly revved up the engine as Tommy moved it into gear.

MOVE! C'mon! I'm not going to stop or anything just cause you're in the way! She bellowed, laughing all the way as she quickly made her way to the enterance, barely missing people on the way.

In the caverns, Tommy grinned as the motor sounded through them. At leaste one akail or whatever would be brave enough to yell at her for ruining its eternal sleep/ silence.

[Celtic]

The motor paused as something glinted in the tunnel. It was pitch black down here, except for her bike's light on the front, and it was a bit suprising that something down this far would glint.

What the heck is down this far...? Tommy questioned the wall of the tunnel, moving slowly through the tunnel to turn the bike so it pointed toward the small sparkle of light. There! Tommy had positioned the light so it wasn't directly on it, but to the side so she could take a look.

[Celtic]

Tommy swung her leg off the bike, and quickly switched into her 'cain form. How strange... I thought there were only runes in Basantha and shrines. They were a bit shiny, but Tommy assumed that that was from people rubbing their hands on them, it would have eroded the rock and made the surface smooth, and glint in the barest of light.

Well, I think I might be getting closer to the Akail. Or farther away considering how uninhabited these poor tunnels look. Well, if you're out there, I hope you like bikes! Tommy flashed a smile as her bark echoed through the tunnel. Perhaps down that way there would be a cavern, or a hint of where the akail were. Maybe.

[Celtic]

Tommy shook her head, giving up on trying to decifer them. They were a mess of pictures and odd symbols, and the darkness didn't help now that her Motorbike's light had dimmed so she could barely see her own hand in front of her face.

Well this is getting me no where! Tommy muttered lifting her head. Woah... Tommy blinked a couple times to clear her eyes from the strain.

The female lucain turned to the bike and turned it off. It would do no good if it ran out of battery, before trotting a little ways ahead, hoping for some sign of an Akail. A sound, a footprint, a carcass. Really, anything!

[5]

[Celtic]

Skrr... Skit

Tommy pricked her ears at the sudden noise. It sounded a bit to large to be an akail, and even so it could be jsut as dangerous. Raising her hackles, Tommy barked once, a warning to what was coming. An instant later, her bark was returned. The voice was feminine, and definately submissive, the other female was showing that she meant no harm and such.

Then, Tommy saw her.

The female approached catiously, her tails brushing the dark floor of the tunnel and her head low. Tommy opened her mouth again, and the poor thing whined pitifully. Shh... Dear, I'm not going to hurt you, I'm here to catch something, an Akail? Tommy ventured to the other trying to calm the skittish lucain.

[Celtic]

Roadinse whined again, she didn't understand a word of this strange tounge that the other spoke. Her nails scratched the grey stone floor, and she laid down, scared of the other.

Her pelt had been darkened by her years spent in the caverns, but the sun spots (her foster mother called them) refused to darken, always staying their bright green color. I do not speak your language. She muttered to the other, but to the females ears all it was was a strange mix of barks and other noises.

Roadinse Road barked, hoping the other lucain at leaste understood her name, and with her paw she pointed to herself and repeated Roadinse.

[2]

[Celtic]

Tommy nodded. So her name was Roadinse... Tommy. Tommy has to leave? Tommy pointed to herself, checking her watch. Dear Zu'hai! She was going to be late! Roadinse was a big find, and she shouldn't leave her here, but my oh my she had someplace to be!

Quickly shifting to her human form, Tommy dropped a card in front of Road, smiled and dashed for her motorbike. Protesting, it started, loudly. Then, she was gone.

[7]

[Celtic]

Roadinse gaped at how fast the lucain left. But.. How.. Where? Roadinse shook her head elegantly and got up, moving back the way she came, soon plunging into pitch darkness. Back to the same routine. Maybe she'll come back... maybe... The poor thing was devestated. It was so lonely down here, and Road really wanted some company, even if it was one of those nasty akail.

[3]

[Celtic]

Click, Click, Click...

The sound of nails clicking on cave floor was the only hint that there was anyone in the tunnel on a way into a cavern that was hopefully near-by.

Road just trotted on, accompanied by eternal darkness, her echo and lonely thoughts. Couldn't I have gotton lost someplace more people friendly? maybe then somebody woulda found me.. She whined only to have it repeated back to her. If only she could talk was more like it though.

[4]

[Celtic]

Finally, there was a pinprick of light, signaling that Road had come to the place where she was staying. As she forlonely walked forward, the light grew bigger until it revealed a small flickering candle. At leaste it didn't go out... She barked quietly enough so that it didn't echo an walked into the small cavern.

((Hi. I'm joining. ^.^))

Paddy, Female Lucain

Valentine, Female Dalma

((These two only have quad forms though)

Paddy walked through the tunnels, getting close enough to the walls for her whiskers to brush them when ever it changed direction or split. She felt Valentine close behind her, trying not to get lost. The Dalma was used to seeing where she was going. Paddy was used to using her other senses by now. She could tell that the cavern was dark and she couldn't see the vague shapes she was so used to, but those never really helped her, so she relied on feeling the way.
"Geeze. This is too dark. Do those things we hear about really live in places like this?" valentine asked, trying to get Paddy to talk so she could follow the sound. "How do they see?"
"Some adapt to it." Paddy answered, her voice much more mature than the pup's eternal youth.
"At this point I wish I could. It's starting to get cold in here." Valentine replied.
Paddy could feel the tunnel split, as the breeze that was carried through from the entrance changed. It split off at their side as well as continuing strait. Paddy chose to walk strait.

[Celtic]

Road pricked her ears as she heard two other sets of paws, and two voices. Instantly, her paws picked up and on her way out she blew out the candle, plunging back into the darkness, guided only by the voices, and her knowledge of the caves.

Once the voices were extremely close, Roadinse stopped and spoke well thats what it sounded like to her, "Rrruh!(Translation: H-h-hello) She stammered, not knowing what or who they were, but ventured this far because well, Road really hated being alone.

But sadly, not knowing english  Road probebly wasn't understood. Unless one of the pair knew pure dog.

[Knightdaniru]

Paddy turned her head as if to look in the direction of the voice, her ears perked.
Valentine spoke from behind her. "I really don't know. Ask Paddy. I'm just following her."
"We aren't for now. Just exploring, though we may be lost before we decide to go back out." Paddy said in reply. She sniffed the air to try and figure out who was talking. A lucain, she could tell. Female. She smelled of the cave, as if she'd been in her for a good while. "May we ask your name?" Paddy asked her, trying to sound polite. She didn't sound like she was a threat, but Paddy, who was trained to be an alpha dog, was still tensed, ready to assert her dominance if need be.

[Celtic]

Road waved her ears uncertaintly back and forth. They didn't seem like they harbored anything akail-like, so she assumed it was safe. "Roadinse. A-and you? She was gaining a small bit of confidence now that she knew there weren't any awful things.

In turn, she sniffed the air. It smelt like a couple of canines. Other then that, Road just couldn't make heads or tails of either of them. "Shall we go to my cavern? I have a candle there.
