CAVE STATUS
QUESTS/EVENTS
Torrential downpours cause localized flooding and many upset cats. Along with these frequent rain, from gentle drizzles to heavy rainfall, there seems to be a flux of Magicka drawn in particular to water sources. Occasional jet streams of warm air make narrower tunnels harder to navigate. On occasion, the rain intensifies, becoming howling storms with sleet or large hail. However, the temperatures overall are a little warmer, with snow and ice in temperate caves somewhat receding.
With a pink stone clutched in his talon the owl continued forward to a room that lay ahead of the tunnel where he'd met that weird kid. Alone again he was happy to properly examine the strange gem he'd picked up. He came to rest in a grassy area with little rolling hills, eyes lowered as he peered down at it. In shape the thing was an irregular sphere with chunks taken off of one side like someone had roughly banged it against a wall. Perhaps it was normal wear and tear, perhaps someone really had banged it against the sides of the walls. Who knew? Maybe there was a way to learn, maybe there wasn't...
It frustrated him that there were things out of his reach. What sort of life had this stone had? Did it once belong to someone? Or was it a natural formation in the caverns? Who knew?
Feeling a bit fatigued the owl sat down, one talon tapping on the stone while he rested himself. The days of not eating anything and not sleeping were finally catching up to him but he would not allow himself to break concentration. He wouldn't...
He couldn't...
He would...
Without his consciously making a decision his body shut down. Making his eyes flutter shut as he dozed off. His talon fell away from the spherical gem while his tiny beak fell forward onto his chest as his body forced itself to get a bit of sleep.

MAGICKA LEVEL 100% RESTORED TO 100%
wandering, wandering. the kitten had been hungry for a while now; he still wasn't the king of this whole hunting thing, body still wobbly and legs still weak. he could barely see, too; the blue of his right eye had begun to fade, but it was not as crystal clear as the gem in his left eye. it would take him a few cycles to master catching his own food, especially with one eye.
prata took heavy steps through the caves, traversing tunnels and dodging footsteps less and less deftly as hunger and sleep began to sink in. it was a bright flash that caught his eye at last, pulling him from the daze he'd found himself in, and he immediately perked up.
he was in a mossy room, and the smell of wetness was thick in the air. he wasn't quite sure how he'd got there--but most pertinent right now was that big fuzzy thing huddled around the sparkle he'd seen moments ago. it smelled like food.
he crept up slowly on wobbly paws, eye failing to dilate under its own cloudiness as he readied himself to pounce!!
... and missed, flopping an open paw onto the fluffy creature and then rolling to the side a few centimeters away. he let out a whine as he did so, but it was quickly silenced when he noticed the shiny thing sitting just outside of the owl's reach. he stared quietly, enthralled, as if he had not just knocked the other gembound out of his peaceful resting time. a paw reached out to bat it closer to his eye.
A light snore came from the young owl's beak as his exhausted body took in all the extra energy it could glean from his temporary immobility. It felt like he'd only been sleeping for seconds when something furry and soft touched his head and roused him from his slumber. The owl's blue eyes flew open, body jerking awake at the sudden touch. His small wings flared into life, flapping and vainly attempting to get him off the ground and away from danger as instinct dictated. His futile attempted raised him two inches off the ground for about five seconds before he fell back down as his talons softly thudded against the earth.
He blinked owlishly --ha-- at the intruder. It was a cat... One that was playing with his gem! "Desist! Desist with your actions!" Completely disregarding his own safety the owl attempted to reach out with a foot and procure the gemstone. "That is my specimen! You have no right to steal it without my permission." The nerve!

prata watched as the funny looking thing lifted up off the ground in wonder, though his face betrayed nothing. however did it do that, he wondered? he wanted to float like that too! it was entrancing!
and then when it fell down and began squawking at him, prata rolled on his back and stretched. "okay, sorry," he meowed, mildly amused, mildly bored. "how do you do that?" it was more of a musing than a question, really, but he expected an answer.
The owl managed to snatch the gem back, which he tucked it protectively into his talons while he kept his deep blue eyes on the feline. It seemed so far that the cat wasn't going to be too much trouble though, it apologized for taking the item and seemed to lazily stretch onto its back. Still, he would not let his guard down for a moment, not until he was absolutely certain of this one's intentions.
A question came from the cat, one that caused the owlet to blink in mild confusion. "How do I do what? What do you speak of, feline?" The young gembound questioned in his shrill voice. There were many things he could do and many things he was doing, he needed specifics.

MAGICKA LEVEL 99% RESTORED TO 100%
prata watched with predatory eyes as tacitus pulled the gem back under his plumage, dully disappointed that he hadn't go to touch it beforehand. but there were more interesting things to worry about, now.
"you were floating!" he meowed. "like this."
the kitten stood up hurriedly then, and summoned forth the magic within him. suddenly, there was a resounding pop! and prata cried out in pain as magic shocked through his body, making him stiffen in a distinctly catlike fashion and leap backwards in alarm. he fell backwards onto his tummy and whimpered on the ground for a few moments, before choking out "kinda like that."
