Akicheka had been in waiting for far too long- Hunkered in the swamp and the room of stars, in which he spent his time honing his abilities. He had learned many new tricks, but the practice had gotten repetitive- Boring, even.




It was for this reason that he had abandoned his makeshift camp in Orion, heading northward through the tunnels to get to Leo. That was the first time he got a good look at the spire in Polaris. Gemini was not as fun, with its familiar fungal infection. Thankfully, he seemed to have escaped unharmed, if you ignored his lame leg being rubbed down to the flesh. The pain was nearly constant, but if he wanted to make any speed during his travels, he had to let it drag, and so he did.




In the present time, he was peering around a rocky corner, heat rising from his pelt as his tongue lolled, a small relief. It seemed to be a cave of some sort, with a figure moving inside. He didn't dare step past the threshold, instead making his presence known with a small, choked cough.
