Perhaps against her better judgment, Maegi was within Mephala's Web. She felt safe in the darkness, despite the recent disturbances of the earth. Besides, she mainly stuck to the larger caverns, choosing to avoid the smaller, narrower tunnels. Those seemed the most dangerous under current circumstances.

When the quaking started, she was nosing around near the southeastern portion, looking for various things of interest. She felt the beginnings of it, a steady vibration under her paws. Her heart began to beat hard and fast as the shaking intensified, sediment raining down upon her head. She heard groaning, creaking. . .

A thunder unlike anything of a storm, unlike anything she had endured before. It was deafening, and she wheeled, trying to find the nearest path upward. She lost her way. She —

She let out a pained shriek as she tripped, coming down the wrong way on her already-stunted right fore. Shit, Maegi hissed, gritting her teeth as she tried to stand again. Not like she used that leg much anyway, but the agony was nearly unbearable. Tears streaming silently from the corners of her eyes, the Nona hobbled her way forward —

There's an exit here, I know it

Bottom of Death's Gate, to Spiderlings' Glen

There was light ahead, growing steadily brighter. Hope. Maegi rushed that way, only to hastily back up as the roaring grew impossibly loud. The light faded as dirt and rocks tumbled down like a spring deluge, faded, faded. . .and then blacked out entirely, the exit sealed.

The quaking was ebbing, but Maegi was now trapped in darkness. Injured leg throbbing, she did a slow circle in the tunnel, the only sound the earth settling again and the gasping of her panicked breaths. There had to be another exit close by, somewhere. . .but where?

Now what?!
