ORIGIN - i can't drown my demons, they know how to swim

The moose was frantic. Where were his children?! He knew the bastard lizard thing had taken them, no other creature was in the tunnel at that time. Nobody but him and the Komodo. He trotted quickly through the tunnel, the very tunnel that he had met Blackberry in. Memories flooded his mind of when he was so innocent, so happy, so revolting. Those days disgusted him. Then the thought came to him. What is his children ended up like that because he wasn't there to teach them? The thought of that alone was enough to make the moose gag.

And yet, it also spurred him on. He had to find the children before they hatched. He had to make sure they were raised right. Blueberry pushed away the memories that the tunnel brought, heading toward a horrifying and yet somehow comforting snarling entrance. He'd rest here for a moment, not having stopped for much but food, which he grew himself, and to sleep for short periods. Other than that, the moose did not stop.

He felt he was getting close. He knew he was getting close. He had to be getting close. There was no way the lizard creature could have evaded him, unless they were in some place he did not know about. But with his travels, Blue could nearly guarantee he knew every cave within Origin. In reality, though, he'd only seen half of the caves, if not less.

The canine was lonely, to say the least. How long had it been since he had last had interaction with another creature? Even as he searched for an answer, he came up short; it had to be a while back, when he was still young and newly hatched from his stone. And then, he had become sick, and it had almost killed him. He wouldn't want to admit that he was sick, or that he was still recovering from it, even if a keen eye would notice it. Roone was still weak from the sickness, more than he wanted to be, and traveling too far was taking its toll on him. He was gaining weight again, from what he managed to eat, but it wasn't much; his ribs still poked out from under his fur. His stumbling, almost jolting movements were a result of the walking he had done, and the weariness that pulled at his muscles. Just a little longer, he told himself. Just a little longer until he could rest, and he would be fine.

The thought was just enough to inspire him to keep walking, just to the next room. He just had a few more steps, and them he could rest and regain his energy, for as long as he wanted. He could catch some food, and, hopefully, he could be able to stay here and at least become a little stronger. As he grew closer to the entrance of the next room, Roone almost stopped where he was, his breath releasing in an audible gasp as he hesitated. The room was something he didn't like, or trust, and even the thought of heading that way made his fur bristle with wariness. After a few moments, he eased forwards, keeping himself ready to run until he caught sight of the other creature.

Even tired, even itching to rest, Roone knew that he should be careful. The creature ahead towered over him, and, if it wished, it could hurt him badly. Still, with the thought of a friend circling in his mind, or, at the very least, company, he decided to speak. "He-" His voice cracked and broke, rough from not being used in so long and barely more than a whisper. "Hello." He offered again, giving his tail a small wag.

Blue growled at the thing that dared to approach him. How dare it come to him, weak and small and so helpless and harmless?! Blue was angry at himself, angry at the lizard that took his children, angry at the caves.

It wasn't the lizard, but it would have to do. It would satisfy his rage for now. But first, he needed to get close to it, to get its trust a little. "Hello little thing. Are you alright?" He asked as kindly as possible, forcing a smile on his face.

Notes: If you don't want a fight lemme know and I can change it. Moose is just very angry and scared right now and likely to attack. Can change it up though.
