Remedy was getting impatient. She'd met Kerberos, had gotten to know Azazel, but Pa still wasn't back. The little hybrid had begun to explore again, but now, her exploration took her deeper, into the center of the cave. There, many rocky towers grew down from the ceiling, enchanting the little girl as she approached the open doorways. Slowing to a stop under its shadow, Remedy gawked upwards and sighed.

"Woah."

Fearless, the child ventured into the dark corridors of the Chambers, leaving the safety of Canis Proper behind in favor of exploring this strange construct. Indeed, Rem felt as if she were discovering ancient treasure, untouched by anyone else but her. When Ma and Pa came back with Cure, they'd be so impressed!

She climbed upwards inside one such domecile. Reaching a carved window, the hybrid stepped her front talons over the ledge and looked down. I'm so high! Up here, a gentle breeze rustled through her feathers. Below, the bones looked like tiny marbles of white and pale yellow, all tossed about- except, of course, for the tower so neatly preserved by the West Wall. Remedy mused that the tower must've been special, to be kept so clean- and as she did, she leaned out the window further.

Then, she slipped. With a shrill scream, the hybrid tumbled out of the Chamber's high window. Wings, ill-prepared, flapped against the rush of wind. For a moment, all seemed lost. I'll die alone! She flipped forwards, wings snapping open and...

...with a pitiful squeak, landed only a little softer than she might've otherwise. Despite this, Remedy rolled into the fall and came out only bruised and dirty, hind paws tossed over her head with her chin shoved against the ground painfully. She came to a rest with a keening whimper, back end flopped back down right, wings limp and crooked at her sides.

Well, that was brilliant.

Remedy could almost feel the wind through soft feathers when she heard the flutter of wings above her. She twisted her head from the floor to look up as Raikzik landed. In that instant, with his wings spread out and purple eyes shining on her, she felt a rush of warmth wash over her. He's so pretty! She sat up, and beneath her feathers, her face was warm and flushed. He asked in a deep voice if she was alright and for some strange reason, Remedy couldn't find the words to confirm that she was, indeed, alright.

"I, uh, uhm," She sat upright, shying back from the purer bird. "Yeah, yeah I'm okay. Thanks for asking." For the first time since arriving in Canis, Rem was lost for words. The other bird was so much fiercer, with such nice feathers and pretty eyes, a color she'd never seen before in any other gembound. Overall, she'd call him handsome... and that was a new opinion for her. The young hybrid straightened her posture and coughed. "I was... trying to fly. There's no wind in here. It's no use."

She sounded incredibly disheartened.
