The Dingo was comfortable in his hidey home, no doubt about that. But it was becoming too cramped for him, he pushed with all his might. Trying his hardest to break the sack open, his body pushed forwards. Eyes closing in preparation for impact.

The Dingo awaited the feel of fresh air from the outside world, eyes searching around for some kind of thing to grab onto. But it seemed that it was just.. Rock? But he had broke out from his comfy shell, his eyes trailed over to it. He took in deep breaths of air, the cocoon had almost won. But he had conquered it!

His paws grazed the ground, padding towards the water. He dipped his head and lapped from it, everything was so strange. What was this place? Or.. Why was he here? Out of all places his cocoon HAD to have formed here, he rolled his eyes. Padding back towards it and sitting down, his tail flopped on the ground. Tired but energetic eyes looking around this odd new place.

Inside the Chrysalis, a pure white fox awoke with his violet eyes. It was time for him to see the world at last. He stretched and he broke free of the Chrysalis, placing his feet on solid ground for the first time. His violet orbs looked around slowly, taking everything in. After a quick look around, he saw another creature and laid his violet eyes on him. Mystro took a few steps towards him, giving the creature a sniff or two then he spoke.

"Who are you? I.....I am Mystro."

He looked around the area once more before looking back to Felkrn.

@Felkrn

It appeared as though he was not alone in this seemingly-empty cavern, another voice rang out in the dark. The Dingo flicked his ears, head turning to face the source of the sound.

He stared at the creature, then to the bones that scattered the room. His eyes slowly found their place back on the fox again, its name was.. Mystro? Interesting, Felkrn fit right for him, he didn't know what it meant but he rather liked it. Felkrn he rumbled in response to the question, he arose from his spot. Tail swaying.

The creature had only just hatched from its comfortable sack, just as Felkrn had as well. He wondered how it felt, he couldn't sense any obvious sadness or distress from its features. So he would just have to assume it was rather excited, after all. It did seem to have some energy radiating off of it.

@Mystro

Mystro nodded softly to Felkrn. It was an interesting name. He looked around and smiled brightly as his violet eyes searched the cave. 'WO- Ther- so mu- to explor-!" Mystro had accidentally cast his thoughts to Felkrn without meaning to, however the thoughts were all scrambled up. Mystro sniffed a few times around then looked back to Felkrn with a smile.

"Do you want to explore with me?"

He gave a friendly smile to the dingo then looked back around the cave, his eyes wide with wonder and curiosity.

He scrunched up his nose as the thoughts of the fox traveled from his mind to the own mind of the Dingo, that felt really weird. He ignored it silently, because he knew FOR SURE those were not his own thoughts. It sounded like the voice of Mystro as well.

The fox asked if he wanted to explore with him, which furthermore proved his theory that somehow this fox had transferred his own thoughts to the mind of Felkrn. Very strange, but perhaps it was normal. Sure he shrugged, what could go wrong? He didn't really care if they got lost, because there was nowhere to get lost in if they didn't even know where they were in the first place.

Quietly he padded forwards, leaving the cocoons behind. His head turned, waiting for Mystro to follow him. Empty shell from where a Dingo once was, another where an Arctic Fox used to be. They were honestly pretty creepy, but Felkrn tried his best to not let their once-homes disturb him.

@Mystro

Mystro smiled as Felkrn as the other agreed to explore with him. Mystro sniffed around wondering where to go, well there was only one tunnel, only one route to go. So he decided that was the route he would go.

"Let's go this way."

Mystro atempted to give push Felkrn a push towards Tunnel K, but as soon as the two touched everything went dark. Mystro felt the feeling of warmth, but also the feeling of being cramped. He saw a small glimpse of light then, all of a sudden he was looking at Felkrn again. The entire time he was in his 'vision', he gave Felkrn a blank stare. He stared at him, not sure what had just happened.

"Err....anyway. Let's go."

Mystro led the way towards Tunnel K with a small smile. He didn't know where this led, but he didn't care. It would be a good chance to explore.

The fox sniffed around, Felkrn following slowly. His eyes glued on Mystro, what exactly was he sniffing for? Felkrn sniffed the air, everything smelt the same to him.

Mystro said they should go that way, towards the only tunnel there. He shrugged, Okay Felkrn murmured. Considering they could only go THAT way, Mystro nudged him forwards. Felkrn feeling rather odd as he did, his head turned. Mystro only giving him a blank, dead cold stare. What? he asked, wondering if he had done something wrong. What a weird look, but why's he giving ME that stare? I didn't do anything to him he thought to himself, it honestly unnerved the Dingo a bit.

Mystro brushed it off rather fast, Felkrn looked ahead again. Confusion on his features, what had just happened? Mystro had only nudged him, so why did it feel so damn strange? Something was rather off about this whole ordeal, but Felkrn ignored it. Perhaps Mystro had bumped into his butt too hard or something.

He began to lead the way towards Tunnel K, Felkrn blankly following. The two newly born Gembounds began making their way into the tunnel, something was so eerie about it. But Felkrn couldn't put his paw on it, the boy looked up as they entered. Terrified eyes looking up at the monster face, no.. Stay calm, be brave Felkrn. He padded on, crouching down nervously just in case. It felt like at any moment something would reach out and grab him by the scruff, it was quiet. Mist clinging to his pelt like little spiders, he didn't like it at all.

The only sound was their paw steps padding through the empty, barren tunnel.

Silence.

A droplet of water sounded behind Felkrn, startling the young Dingo. His hackles raised, but he kept walking. Tail bristled with fear.

Then there was more prolonged silence, it dragged out like it was being strangled. Not even bothering to make a sound, and Felkrn was too scared to talk in case something else was here. Something else that didn't want them here, he had only been born a minute or so ago and he already knew what true terror felt like.

Mystro led into the tunnel, the only way he could go. It was strange, the mist was so thick here it clung to his skin and the silence was eerie. Enough to send chills down his spine. There was just nothingness. Mystro stopped all of a sudden and closed his eyes. He took a deep breath and calmly breathed out. The gem on his forehead shined softly. After a few seconds Mystro seemed completely relaxed again.

“You know, it’s actually rather nice here. The mist collecting on the skin, the silence of the tunnel, it is almost peaceful.”

He smiled and continued to walk until eventually he stopped again. They had come to the end of the tunnel and now, they were in Orion.

@Felkrn

They padded through the tunnel silently, Tunnel K not giving them any break. It felt like this thing went on forever, how long had they been in here for? Probably only a minute or two, but it felt like 10 years to the young Dingo pup.

Mystro broke the silence, claiming it was nice here. Yeah, sure it is. This is Hell on Earth to me, what is this guy talking about? Maybe he did go crazy, that'd explain that blank expression and THIS. I can't figure out how anyone would find this disgusting, most likely 1 billion years ancient tunnel, calming and peaceful. I'm squirming in my fur here! Felkrn thought to himself, rolling his eyes.

Finally they made it out of the tunnel, emerging into Orion. Everything changed as soon as they popped out of the exit, unlike Canis. Whose empty rocky ceiling only provided some beauty, the bones a bit more like decoration than anything. Orion was far more beautiful, the ceiling sparkled with star-like quartz crystals. Building-like formations filling the room of Orion. Everything was so mesmerizing for the Dingo.

Felkrn padded forwards slowly, taking in everything with long glances. It was so beautiful, far more pretty compared to Canis. Definitely much, much less scary than Tunnel K. It was hard for Felkrn to think that this was at the end of such a homely and bland room that connected to a terrifying misty tunnel, it was definitely worth their trip. Felkrn smiled softly, Where do we go next? he murmured. Letting Mystro lead the way. Despite how much the fox was beginning to worry Felkrn.

@Mystro

Finally the two arrived in Orion. Mystro looked around slowly, a smile on his face. Slowly, Mystro walked upto one of the old structures and inspected it. Then walked up to another one and inspected that too.

"These things must be ancient."

He then looked to Felkrn and gave him a calm smile.

"Hmmm, let's see..."

After a quick look around he saw about five different tunnels he could go through. There were actual options now, he wasn't sure which one to pick. After about a minute, Mystro nodded to himself.

"Let's go this way."

He walked towards tunnel I and gave it a few sniffs before stepping inside. Immmediately, he saw two pillars on either side of the entrance which had strange engravings and quartz stones. This tunnel seemed to be much more prettier than the last one they went through. Once again, his thoughts were cast to Felkrn. 'I, ng, is, e...' the telepathy failed to work almost completely this time, so much so that there was no way to actually scramble and make out what he was thinking.
