Porcupine Ridge Lost in the city of angels

Romulus can leave Farstep to find his own way out and you can fade here, or he can try to find the other end of the tunnel that leads out if you want to keep going! Up to you. :D

He struggled underwater for a moment, his hip bumping the rough bottom of the pool as he sunk into it, before he seemed to remember how to swim. He paddled for the surface and broke it with a chugging cough. He flicked water from his eyes with a sharp shake of his head as he suspended himself in the liquid, heart pounding. It took him several moments of swimming in an aimless circle to make out the faint outline of a rocky shore, and he headed for that, but not before Romulus' whine from overhead reached his flickering ears.

The agouti wolf paddled in place, craning his head back and dunking his ears under in order to squint up at the bright sky above. Romulus' head appeared over the edge and the tawny wolf panted lightly in response. He was scared shitless of the possibility that there was no way out of this pit, but at least there was land to stand upon, and he struck out for that with quick kicks of his paws. Once ashore, he could observe the cenote—a large, blueish pool of water that extended into an underground river—and he could also see a tunnel to his left.

Deciding that anything was better than hanging around here, the tawny wolf bark-growled some kind of note to Romulus, although of course there were no words and no particular meaning involved, and then padded quietly into the tunnel.
