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.
Pegasus is the longest room in the cave system, with a winding river curving through both its forest and meadows. This room is always at a comfortable temperature, cool in the forests and warm in the meadows. It is an excellent room for growing and harvesting plants. Rocky hills and mountains rise at its sides, creating varying levels. In the back corner of Pegasus is a false rock-wall, though those with good intentions may pass easily into the oasis beyond. Lyn sleeps here often, curled at the center of the refuge with his flowering tail laying open, exposing his labradorite stone to absorb latent magic in the air.
LOCATIONS
The Winding River
A wide, easy-moving river curls through the center of Pegasus, leading to a rock-wall and seemingly disappearing into depths unknown.
The Forest
Tall trees make up the bulk of the forest, with various undergrowth making it a good spot to find plants of all sorts.
The Meadows
Flowering meadows make up the rest of the space in Pegasus, opening in forest sanctuaries or lining the river.
Secret Refuge
Hidden beyond a false rock wall, and guarded by Azigh's warding magic, is an oasis for all who seek such a place. It is a large meadow with a moat of clear, shallow water at its center; often, a giant white flower is at the center of the moat.

MAGICKA LEVEL 100% RESTORED TO 100%
Tiny paws padded his way down the caverns. Ears pinned hard against his skull, tail between his stiffened legs. Walking with a limp in his hind legs. This time the tunnel opened to a forest.
Purple eyes darted to the ground, within a little time he'd leap forward. Keeping his body silent, pressing against any shadow he had to hide into. Drifting back to thinking about that tiny cave mouse earlier. How he barely got it in his jaws. They were so much quicker than he was.
And he was hungry
Staying pinned against the forest, his eyes were amazed by the pretty sight around him. No longer was it much of a barren rock among the tunnels. This one opened to be one of color. For the neat sights, he was relatively cautious. Careful where he placed his paws. Every sound he could hear, he'd flinch.

MAGICKA LEVEL 85% RESTORED TO 100%
Diem Dark stood silent in the fields beyond. She probably looked like a forboding figure: dark, her wings held out so that they half-mantled around her, her skull-head tipped upward so that glowing violet eyes (half-lidded) were visible to anyone beside or before her. At one point, the wings flexed slightly, but otherwise she stood silent, bag limp at her hip, taloned hands slack at her sides.
Really, though, she was just taking in the fresh air and the light: stopping to smell the flowers, at it were. It's nice there's people out and about again, she was thinking just then. The caves had gone quiet, for awhile, making her think maybe she'd arrived too late. Or well, so late that she wouldn't get to do much before they inevitably slid back into hibernation.
A reprieve, then: and she was out looking for new friends, eager to meet any strangers that might be about. Before her, a little ghostly alligator hatchling (perpetually tiny) was skittering up out of the river; it chirped loudly at her and she looked down, and smiled. Then it was gone back in the water, a whirlwind of miniscule energy.
She didn't see the wolf cub, yet, slinking along into Pegasus and maybe that was just as well: she'd hate to frighten someone, especially a little kid. As it was she cleared her throat and started to sing. Normally her voice was... well, she thought it was bad. But now she enhanced her lyrics with magic, so that she managed to somehow mimic all sorts of sounds into a whole song: a few notes of a piano, a thump of drum, and then vocals. It wasn't all at once--not even with magic could she do that. But it sounded pretty good, nonetheless.
"Don't look to me, I ain't right... And I don't knooo--oow enough, but how much do... I want to know... It's perfectly clear, I'm where I should bee-eee, yeah, ooooff the wall, and back to reality..."
At the very least, she didn't seem dangerous to approach--surely someone breaking into song wasn't dangerous?
The second something started moving, singing, he flinched. Cowering to the ground near tree bark. Purple eyes darted for the reasoning. Darting from the canopy of the trees to the ground. His tail fluttered, the hackles on his neck rising.
What was shocking to the pup the most? Is that the singing was… good. It wasn't what he expected it to be. Or rather he wasn't sure what to expect. Tiny paws hid themselves under his body. Brown fur sparked up by the tree bark.
Uncertainty rose in his chest. The further along she sang, he felt soothed. Stillness wavered, he didn't near the loud thumping. The noises that drive him crazy.
One paw at a time he gently moved forward from the bark, in any attempt to move towards the sound. Every fur stood up, rising in fear and uncertainty. Surely.. she wouldn't try to attack him? If they did, could he.. outrun?
