Still crying slightly Kuss pulled herself to her feet. "Sorry" she muttered, then louder "You're right. We have to keep going." She looked up at the opening. "I guess we're climbing up there?" she inquired.
Nylorac sighed deeply at the high wall they were going to have to climb in order to get into the chamber that they had seen from the other side. She nodded at Kuss to answer her question and slowly began to pull herself onto a small ledge a ways up the wall. It was a lot harder trying to climb a rock wall then a tree. In tree you could dig your claws into the bark. On rock walls such as this you couldn't do that. Finally after grabbing onto stones that stuck out from the solid rock wall Nylorac managed to pull herself onto the ledge. She waited for Kuss in case she needed help though Nylorac doubted it. they still had a long way to go.
"Are you going to climb all the way up there?" asked Kuss from the bottom as she opened her single wing. Somehow she still managed to fly with only one and alighted on the ledge next to Nylorac. She held up a hand to cover her smile.
<span style='width:100%;font-weight:bold; font-size:10px'>Out of Character</span> <table class=ooc><tr><td>OMG AHHHH I TOTALLY forgot!!! x.x</td></tr></table> Nylorac sighed and slowly flew up after Kuss. She had forgotten about flying. Maybe she needed sleep. She usually wasn't like this. As she came up next to Kuss she could see laughter in her eyes. Oh whatever, Nylorac thought, everyone makes mistakes she thought again remembering her little speech to Kuss earlier. Finally they landed onto the ledge. The Chamber was a lot bigger than Nylorac had expected. The cieling was very high and dark. Soon Nylorac began to walk deeper into teh chamber, still thinking about her mistake. <span style='width:100%;font-weight:bold; font-size:10px'>Out of Character</span> <table class=ooc><tr><td>AHHH I cant' believe I FORGOT!!! GOD!</td></tr></table>
OOC: It's ok! I took a while to remember too... IC: Kuss followed Nylorac into the cave. She looked at the high ceiling in wonderment. It seemed to reflect light, like a crystal. Across the cavern was a small alter on which was set the statue of a pendragon made of snow white marble set with rubies. Kuss ran over to it to investigate.
Interesting, thought Nylorac as she ran after Kuss. When she came to the altar she studied the dragon on it intently. <font color="blue"> Must be an ancient goddess or something... she looks a little like you... </font> Nylorac dipped her paw into the small fountain that surrouded the altar. As her paw moved across the fountain wall she felt a crack in the stone. She fingered it trying to figure out what it was. As she searched she accidentily pushed on the slab and the bottom of the fountain drained and opened up into a winding stairwell. <span style='width:100%;font-weight:bold; font-size:10px'>Out of Character</span> <table class=ooc><tr><td>Ok uhhh i was wonderin if you would like to make the goddess be Kuss?? if you dont i dont really care i just thought it would be cool...</td></tr></table>
OOC: Um...sure. I guess we should really figure out whatÂ’s going on as it happens, but that does sound like a good idea... IC: "Wow..." Kuss said, jumping over the fountains basin onto the stair. "Come on" she said to Nylorac "Lets find out where this goes." She started off down the stairs.
<span style='width:100%;font-weight:bold; font-size:10px'>Out of Character</span> <table class=ooc><tr><td>ok cool</td></tr></table> Nylorac hesitated for a moment looking at the statue and at Kuss' face, there was some sort of connection between the two. She shrugged and folowed Kuss creeping down the stairs slowly waiting to see if there was anyone down there...
Kuss almost ran down the stairs into the darkness. The stairs came to a sudden end and Kuss found herself face to face with a white and red 'dragon. "Ahhhh!!" she screamed, scrambling away from the other 'dragon. Then she realized it wasn't moving. It was another statue.
Nylorac raced down the stairs when she heard Kuss' screams <font color="blue"> What's wrong...oh don't worry just a statue...WOW this was IS you! Have you ever been here before?</font> The statue that Kuss had found was the exact replica of Kuss, I mean EXACTLY!!! The room that the two 'dragons found themselves in was large but not nearly as big as the camber outside. several other small tunnels led off from the main room. All over the walls was markings and carvings that were mostly in another language. Here and there were old oil lamps thathadn't been lit for years. <font color="blue"> Do you have a match to light these? </font>
Kuss nodded, slightly dumbstruck by the statue. She reached into her pack and pulled out her matches. They were slightly damp, but useable. She walked to one of the lamps and lit it. The fire that flared was of a green black variety, casting a strange light around the room. Several more statues stood by the walls, some carved completely of precious gemstones. "Wow" was all Kuss could force herself to say.
Nylorac sighed <font color="blue">that's better...which tunnel do you think we should explore first? </font> Nylorac began to feel little butterflies of excitement bubbling up inside her. She smiled this ought to be very interesting.
Kuss shook her head and said "I don't know. That one?" She pointed to a random tunnel to the far left.
Nylorac shrugged <font color="blue"> Ok I don't really care...</font> Nylorac used her tail to grab one of the torches and suddenly remembered something <font color="blue"> Hey, Kuss... what happened to the ball of yarn you had? I think i must have dropped my torch or something, I dont remember where I put it...</font>
Kuss looked around wildly. "Oh no!" she breathed. "It must have gotten lost somewhere along the way. Guess we're all alone now." She took one more glance around and headed for the tunnel.
Nylorac sighed they were alone. But it didn't matter they would survive. Nylorac raced after Kuss laughing joyfully that they were finally on their way. The tunnel was long and damp and cold but the fire from the r\torch wr\armed both the 'dragon.
Kuss skiped happily down the tunnel, she caught glimpses of others running beside the out of the corners of her eyes, but when she looked there was no one. Vultaenuda she thought as she and Nylorac continued on through the tunnel towards the pulsing blue light at the end of the tunnel.
Nylorac also noticed the shapes of other 'dragons darting by her but she never really caught a glimpse of them in their real form. Nylorac followed Kuss and when she got near the light it seemed as though the light itself was pulsing, it was a disgusting yet mezmerizing sight. Finally the two reached the light it was coming from inside a large chamber inside it lieing on the floof was... <span style='width:100%;font-weight:bold; font-size:10px'>Out of Character</span> <table class=ooc><tr><td>hehe couldn't think of anything...</td></tr></table>
"Christly" Kuss breathed as she skidded to a halt right before the start of the glass floor coving coils of undulating glowing blue stone. The room was covered in the stuff, hanging from the ceiling and walls like an enormous snake. On the other side of the room was a massive pillar toped by an amazingly lifelike stature of a green female 'dragon. Then Kuss noticed that the statues side was moving as it lay, as though sleeping on the blue stone column. It was alive.
<span style='width:100%;font-weight:bold; font-size:10px'>Out of Character</span> <table class=ooc><tr><td>oooo whose the statue? just kidding...it sounds like Mint (my char)</td></tr></table> Nylorac looked around the room in awe. She slowly took a step forward after she noticed the moving statue. She didn't need to say a word about the statue to Kuss because she could tell that the other femme had already seen the green statue. Nylorac took a slow step onto the strange blue and felt a tickling sensation before taking another step. Slowly she made her way across the room towards the creature.
