Great Bear Wilderness Look into the mouth of darkness (DISCOVERY THREAD)

@Rahzie

In the southern reaches of the woods, the trees spread out and the ground became moist. The further she went, the more boggy and wet it got, until she was ankle deep in swampwater. She could hear the buzzing of insects all about her. Large dragonflies darted about, hunting down smaller bugs like midges and flies. Where there were flies there were frogs, sitting on lilypads, tongues reaching out to nab one of the insects. And where there were frogs, there were herons, striding in the water, eyes cold and predatory, waiting to impale an amphibian on their razor-sharp beaks.

Meldresi also knew that swamps contained a myriad of herbs to find. She wasn't looking forward to striding into the fetid waters at the moment, who knows what laid under the surface! She was content to go around its circumference, to see how big the swamp was.

It wasn't long before she saw a large opening a few feet away from the swamp. Curious, she walked over, seeing that it was three wolves wide and probably another three tall. It was dark in there, the sun only illuminating a bit of the cave. She stuck her head in, wondering if she could see any other forms of light inside.
