Water dripped slowly down the points of jutting stones and other rocky bodies, hitting the ground rather methodically as the droplets pooled in between the rocky ridges. The world was hush and quiet, with the hum of.. Well, nothing. The silence was almost deafening, even though there was surely life nearby. Quiet, rhythmic thudding echoes around the rocks, bouncing off stone into the opener parts of the cave.

Wedged between a jagged, out-facing stone and a slick slope, a small Chrysalis, almost glowing in the darkness of the crevice it was shoved into, formed small, webbed cracks. The chrysalis was green, and see through, though the inner parts were foggy.

Inside of the chrysalis, a small gembound, a civet, scrabbled at the stone. Small paws and claws created grooves in the soft gemstone chrysalis, expanding the spider-webcracking to the base of the misshapen sphere. With the final thwack of a shoulder, the rock broke open, and out poured its contents- Goop, and an animal.

The civet immediately rose to its forepaws, its legs braced against the slick slope that led down to water, as the gloop made a sickly squelching sound as it hit the accumulation of droplets. It panted, seemingly having exerted all of its strength as it had been trying to escape its chrysalis, and let out a small.. Meow? Nearly a meow, but also nearly a bark. Its eyes opened slowly as it peered out at the world with a shaken expression.
