Nyx Dawnwalker Follow your dreams.

Nyx loved exploring the large cave she called her home. She hadn't been this far into this particular direction before and now she'd come upon one of the most interesting rooms she'd seen in the cave. It wasn't as big as some others and the ceiling was low, but there were lots and lots of bones everywhere! Maybe this should have scared Nyx away - it didn't - and she would be better off leaving again, but that was not something the fawn would do! No, she'd investigate this room and only leave once she'd gotten a close look at everything.

Climbing over the bones littering the ground, Nyx' black eyes clung to a large pile of bones close to the middle of the room. A grin spread over her face and she sped up a little, still careful of the bones. She could't afford to break her legs because of her eagerness. Had she known the word, the fawn would've called the bone pile a castle - despite it definitely not being a castle to the eye of someone not living in the caves -, but for now, 'cool thing' would need to be enough of a name for the pile.

The largest pile of them all was shrouded in darkness though, only parts of it illuminated by the glow of plants and crystals. Nyx couldn't see the entrance and decided to use her newly discovered skill. Focusing on her sight and keeping her charcoal eyes on the pile, the doe wished the trick would work again and she'd find the entrance she was looking for. There just had to be an entrance!

Post Roll Edit:
Slowly, everything got a little more clear for Nyx' eyes and her eyes alone as her magicka worked once again. "Yes!" She cheered for herself, looking around and- there! The fawn's eyes didn't leave the entrance anymore once she'd found it until she stood right in front of it. Slowly, Nyx entered the bone fortress and lost her grasp on her magicka, eye-sight turning back to normal. "No finding me." The fawn whispered to herself and giggled. What she meant to say was that no one would be able to find her. Well, was that true? Was there really no one that could find her?

"Listen to me."

Darkness, nothing but darkness. How was anyone suppose to see anything in a world of darkness? The little creature lifted herself up and tried to gain her footing. It took her a few attempts but up she went . . . and then she fell right back down. "How am I suppose to do this!" Childish frustration pulled from her but the longer she looked around the easier it became to see. At least sort of making out the things around her but it was still extremely dark. What seemed like forever, on her feet and slowly making her way down what looked like a path, Carrie did her best to not fall over. Ahead of her, what seemed to be a light beckoned the little capybara forward. Was it really a light, it seemed to create a glow from around a corner. On the wall was a little mushroom, folded over and glowing brightly. Moving closer, the young one sniffed at the fungus before noticing more along the wall leading down a path. Seeming to have gained her footing, she quickly went from a walk to a little run as she make her way down. Belong, the glowing mushrooms ended at the entrance of a cold little room. "Wooooow" The young rodent stood there taking in what was around her. It was such a beautiful place, at least it seemed to be since she only thing she had ever seen before was pitch black darkness. This place seemed so strange, rocks hanging from the ceiling with little bowls of water spotted all across the floor. The capybara moved closer to sniff at the water, finding comfort in this liquid before pausing as a sound clicked somewhere else in the room. What was that! Carrie was barley able to see anything to far ahead of her in the dim light of the cave, but she made out what looked like a large shape before her. ". . . hello?"

Only having just emerged, Xylos felt weighed down by the slight goo that still covered him. Though he was young, his sails were large enough to support his body weight as he took to soaring through the various caves. Unsure how long he'd been flying for, hours... days. He made his way through with the clicks and whistles to guide him from smacking into the various walls, but it didn't aid him fully and Xylos found himself smacking once or twice and by the time he reached the bone fortresses he was dazed and confused about where he was.

Exhausted, he came to rest on the top of a pile, unaware he was actually sprawled out over a femur. But there were voices. Squinting, he tried to get a view of one of them, but he was unable to among the various structures ranging from sharp precipices caused by the stalagmites and the weather corpses of beings that once existed. Both seemed frightened, he giggled to himself as awkwardly positioned himself with his back feet pushing down on one of the smaller bones and giving it a hard shove.

There was a lot of struggling, both by his lack of arms and the newness of having awakened in his body. But it worked, slowly but surely it pulled free of where it was trapped and clattered down to the bottom of the pile before landing with a loud, CLACK. Delighted by the noise and hoping it would disorientate the creatures further, he snicked but continued to lay where he was wondering if one would pass by close to him.

Nyx didn't have to wait too long before a gembound came. It was a small creature but from the darkness she was shrouded in, the doe couldn't say much else about it.
Only that it seemed barely aware of Nyx' presence. The voice was unfamiliar and the fawn smiled at the chance to make a new friend.

Before Nyx could make a noise or call out to the stranger to initiate a game of hide and seek, a loud CLACK! tore through the silence. A cold shiver run down Nyx' back and her ears immediatley turned towards where the noise had come from. "Who there?" She demanded, stepping out of the huge pile of bones to look at the other gembound. The noise couldn't have come from her, Nyx knew, but that meant there was someone else in the room with them.

She turned away from the small, brown-pelted gembound and faced the darkness. "Who there?" She asked again, her high voice echoing through the cave. "You saw something?" The fawn asked the other gembound without looking at her.

Nyx decided to investigate who was trying to play a trick on them. She focused on her sight - trying to activate her Nightvision - the gem between her shoulders beginning to glow.

Attempting to cast Nightvision
Nyx saw something small sit atop a bone, but couldn't make out more than a rough shape. "You!" She called out, starring at the black shape. "Is mean to scare others." The doe said, not quite fawn of the stranger.

"Listen to me."

excuse the terrible pun at the end

The further she moved into the room, but more that became visible to her. Sniffing around the waters edge, catching a glimpse of a pair of eyes staring back. Started ay first, Carrie look again and slowly realized it wasn't another pair of eyes but her own. Is that she was looked it? The young rodent was nothing flashy for sure, small ears sat high on her head and eyes were a dark shade of earth. Trying to get a closer look, she was stopped by the sound of movement again. Was there someone in here with her after all? Stepping over some odd shaped stones, not clear on what they were yet since the idea of bones wasn't know to her yet, making her way closer to the tiny mountain before her. Carrie squinted her eyes as she looked to see the movement before her. edit for roll And there she saw a little critter in the pile of bones, not sure what it was since the only other gembound she has met was a feline. Then a voice caught her attention as the figure in the bones seemed to try and push one off the pile. Who's there! You saw something?" As the words were stop, she saw another gembound come from the pile but they weren't the one that was on the very top. The question worked into her mind and she connected the two together. Nodding quickly, "Yes yes, up there." Pointing with her little nose, the gem on the end glittered lightly as she moved closer to the new gembound before her. They had such long legs compared to the capybara's little ones. "Someone is up high." Trying to look and see if she could still see the trouble maker.
