Blackfoot Forest take heart, arise, he is calling for you

it was very dark indeed. hosannah was so focused on the sound of the voice that she didn't pay attention to where she moved, only that she did. it took all of her will not to turn tail and run from the voice - and instead, by striding towards it, she was met with a solid body. her quick steps came to an abrupt halt as something thudded against her; with haste she turned, bumping her blunted tail-end upon one of the cave walls, and this further disoriented her. i cannot see -- where are you? oh, but what a foolish question! she pursed her lips momentarily and struggled along the wall, reaching with her paw and feeling in silence before taking her next steps. who are you? for hosannah was mystified that something could dwell here in the dark. as she questioned the shadows, her body contacted something else once more — but this time it was warm and soft, inviting among the chill of the dark.
