t - Cardan - Mar 16 2025
The Chrysalis laid a bit in the water, shaking back and forth. Submerged in the cool current that drifted through the tunnel. The chrysalis pulsed with life, small paws pressed up against its hard shell. The tunnels dim light flickered against the waters surface.
A shake, then a crack. A muffled tapping against the rock.
Another firm strike and the chrysalis crumbled before a wolf pup. Rocks flaked into the water. A wolf pups head popped from the small breaking of the chrysalis. Another firm press against its side, the chrysalis gave away. With a small tumble the brown pup splashed into the current. And for a moment the pup laid quiet in the cool water. Shivering. Cold. Purple eyes drifted down the bright ends of the tunnels.
An uncertain shake, the pup shook off his fur. Moving to try to stand upon his paws, dragging the three good paws he had to a dry spot. The tunnel had a whisper of running water. A shallow yet hard breath, holding himself up. Water dripped down his fur. Silence carried in his maw. The brown pup's back left leg remained stiffened out. Then he reached out. A shakey step forward towards something.

She lifted her head as she looked around, huffing in annoyance as she looked around. Unknowing, she activated her magic, sensing the presence of another not too far away. Her ear perked up and she took a few steps coming around the rock to see another on the shore of the water. "Oh uh... hi?" She cocked her head to the side in confusion, one ear flicking down as she did so. "Did you just... hatch too?" Is that what they did?
She glanced back at her broken chrysalis, unsure what really just happened. But her attention soon went back to him, curious to know more about what the hell was happening.

The pup was barely a few pawsteps when he heard a loud beat of another's heart. Thudding against his ears, forcing them to pin against his head. A swift shake of his head as he looked around. Purple eyes scanned around the tunnel, landing on another brown pup. Though.. it wasn't very wolf like. Not like him.
Swallowing the lump in his throat, he limped his way towards the female. Being spotted before he could even say anything. A hesitant paw held in the air. Uncertainty filled his veins. Yet he didn't know why.
"Uhm, yeah. Hi.. "

Morana Brankovich
She smiled warmly and waved her tail back and forth slightly, her tail curled over her back as it did a gentle wag. Her eyes were soft and her smile warm as she spoke. RE: t - Cardan - Mar 26 2025
There was another one among the tunnel he was in, one of a different kind. Unlike his.. her tail curled around the top of her body. Yet his eyes darted to the darkness of the cave, then back towards her.
The pup introduced herself as Morana. He repeated it, confusingly. Should.. Should he do the same? Is that okay? But she was precisely his age.. it should be fine, yes?
"Morana… Uhm, Cardan."
An uneven adjustment to turn himself around, his leg remaining stiffened. A swift flicker of his tail. Purple eyes rested on hers, but his ears flickered back towards the running stream.
"Uhm, I think so! What about you?"
