the water fell in rivulets, streaming ever-downward with no end in sight, roaring quietly and the mist of it spraying upon her face. she thirsted no more for this, but for other things... things she had dreamt about, things she needed to taste. the young cub pined for it, but had yet to receive it. to baptise herself in anothers blood was a romantic thought indeed, the first step necessary to her future. it would take time, but she was born with the patience of a spider waiting days for its fly. the web she weaved was clear and concise, mapped perfectly for her ascension. she need only grow stronger. these things always started slowly...

but, the ending was sure.

i was growing nervous, anxious. i knew i was nearing pisces, that's what cancer showed me on the map. he also said if i mentioned his name, i could get in trouble. and i wasn't big enough yet to make a quick getaway, my magic wasn't even near deadly. i needed to be cautious, and i was not about to against my word. i wouldn't enter pisces, but this tunnel would lead to it. i'd only go to the edge, just the edge, then i'd turn back and map it out in my mind again. but as i advanced along the tunnel, i noticed there was something, someone here. i noticed a smaller gembound, resembling cancer in the fact that she had prominent spotting. but she was a different color, her spots were black and her coat a lovely golden. cancer was all black. hm. no matter, i suppose, but i should greet her. i should warn her not to go into pisces.

"you shouldn't go any further, cub. pisces lies ahead, and it can be rather dangerous."

boldly speaking, desperate for my little voice to hold profound resonance as cancer's did. i even modeled my speech after him. i stood tall, being larger than the cub before me. she was a new gembound, but she would grow fast just as i would. dull jaded lenses observed her for some time before waiting for a reply, hoping i sounded as mighty as cancer did in our first meeting.

the waters misted gently around her. they accentuated the scents around her, but not behind her. but in the dark corridor illuminated by only the mouth of pisces entrance, things echoed—she could hear the light click of claws, so similar to the way her own sounded. it was uncontrollable at her young age; they did what they would, but presently, were always left unsheathed with her inability to hide them. she spun slowly, unwise to the dangers of the world but certainly aware of the violence that could be had and the pain that could be felt. her cupped ears thus pull backward as she looses a low hiss, lips parting only just to protect—

but it was for naught. the other was nonthreatening in his movements and came toward her with a lackadaisical grace to be envied by one so unused to walking even still; he was young, but she was incredibly so, fresh to the point where she wondered if one could note she was a flower freshly bloomed, her pedals only now revealed to the world as time to blossom had come. his warning was heard, and the femme dipped her head in turn to his words—they were not enough, however.

dangerous? comes her own childish voice, lilting and high-pitched, how do you mean...? and while the young cub could not stand quite so tall as he, there was a regality to her own stance, more sweet at her stature than anything else.

she questioned my warning, and i grimaced. what would my answer be? i mulled it over. because to her, she'd have no idea what i meant. for the reasoning was rather personal. and even then, i wasn't truly for sure on it either, just following what cancer had told me. ears swiveled in reverse as jaded lenses looked the girl up and down once before answering.

"well that's what my dad said. so i listened, and i'd rather not find out what kind of danger he was talking about."

ever cautious, i was careful to omit my father's name. he had said that if i mentioned his name there, i could get into deep trouble. and i was not near ready to defend myself properly. tufted tassel gave a flick of anticipation as i then realized she may be more keen on dangerous things than i. i was more the timid, cautious type. though ever curious, i was not the foolish type. i wouldn't put myself in serious danger just for the rush of it, to me there was no point in it. but nevermind that, the matter at paw was this new gembound on her way to the dangerous world of pisces. has she seen cancer yet?

"you should meet my dad, he's pretty amazing. he'd probably love to see you, i think you're the same breed as him!"

now more excited than my previous ominous words, i gave a small grin of acceptance. dulled lenses took a look around our surroundings just to be sure we weren't being watched or stalked. i could barely save my own hide, let along another's.
