Broken Boulder Sundagger

What could he say about this place Acheron found? Enough like home to make the foreign familiar; enough like something new to shore up what he'd always found Sunfil lacking. But would his father agree? The strength of this land reflected on him as much as Acheron, and this weighed his opinions heavier than perhaps anything else.

And yet... how could he not drink of the ecstasy lighting up his best friend's eyes? Cassius reserved his judgments, scrutinizing every tree, every blade and leaf as the duo plunged into the heart of what might soon become their own. It was clear Acheron had already set his spirits on this place. Could he?

Hmm, he mused, tucking his golden head into the chasm after his friend, a hollow that stretched every onward. Now this is something, he turned bright eyes to the boulder's jagged roof, pale light from outside filtering in at a sharp angle and accentuating the stone tunneling down. How far do they go? Do you know? his teeth glinted through a boyish grin, or have you left that exploring up for the two of us?
