Nolan chuckled at the slap sound he heard. Reminded him of the times with Briika and Ralize. Then the sudden crack in the ground beneath Corrin's feet then the image of him dropping to the dirt. Nolan thundered forward and jumped into the hole after Corrin.


"I'm coming Corrin!" Thankful for his jet pack, Nolan aided his fall with the propulsion of the pack. His heat sensors read the earth was getting warmer.

 

[Rawnie Tal'verda]

They were about to fight. She just knew it. Bring it on. She was so ready. After the idiotic stunt he just pulled, he deserved to get the living tar beaten out of him by his baby sister. She clenched her fist and a large crack sounded. Huh? Did she just make that sound?
She looked down at her little gloved fist, just as the ground gave out beneath her.

Corrin was going to pay. Dearly. The little girl screached in rage and indignation as she slid down, deeper and deeper. Wonderful! Now nobody would ever find them! Ever! Their mom and dad would be childless now! And there would be no heir to clan Tal'verda.
And it was all her brothers fault.

No one ever said anything about a cavern within the cavern! Corrin, with Rawnie in tow, tumbled down the narrow passageway into a large circular chamber half as large as the village itself. The icy floor gave way to solid granite, and the faint amber light that had illuminated the upper section of the cave was vibrant here.

The walls were an eerie obsidian, and the smell of a decayed corpse filled the room. The soft light was coming from something at the very end of the cavern.

"Oww...." Corrin grumbled. He pushed himself up to his feet with a clumsy shove, and offered his little sister a dirt caked hand.

"Where's the other guy?" He asked groggily, still dizzy from the rapid descent. He turned his head up toward the open tunnel they had emerged from, and puffed his cheeks out, pouting.

A low rumble shook the cavern, like that of a massive creature breathing . Corrin stumbled forward, and peered into the darkness just beyond the light.

Two huge yellow reptilian eyes stared back.

Nolan came crashing down into the opening below. Rawnie and Corrin had made it down already. Nolan turned to take the brunt of the fall on his jet pack. He slammed into the ground, pressure releasing from the fuel tank and the system powered down. Nolan shouldered the pack off and dumped it.

His scanners were shaken and needed to reboot. He took off his helmet and clipped it to his belt. Revealing beneath the messy dirty blonde hair that was Nolan Detta. He could sense a presence, nothing specific but he knew the three had become four.

"Are you alright?" He called to the kids.

Rawnie jumped to her feet, absolutely refusing her brothers offer of help. She was furious, it was clear on her pale face, from white eyebrows to pearl pink lips, her face was the picture of displeasure.

"Corry! You idiot! You coulda got us ki-"
She cut herself off as a low growl echoed about the chamber. She stared back at those yellow eyes, mouth hanging open. Right then, the grownup fell down behind them. She was too busy staring to pay him any mind. Slowly, she reached into her waist pocket, drawing out her knife.
