Meep! There is a stampede running down the stairs right now. :o
Eventually the concrete of the city crumbled away to reveal the natural vegetation of Nova Scotia. Silas had spent much of his time within the old human buildings since he, his father, and sister had arrived. But now, Silas craved something more than the dilapidated city. He wanted to experience the greenery that he had been deprived of on his long journey across the ocean. Sidewalks were traded for foliage strewn dirt as Silas ventured into Arachnea's Revenge.
He ventured just north of the city, not looking for anything in particular aside from a change of scenery. What he happened upon was a small lake that looked rather unnatural. The surface of the water was an opaque icy blue, making it look as if it were possible to walk upon. Silas took a few steps down the gently sloping shore, before dipping a hand into the water. Was it safe to drink? He lifted a palm towards his face, sniffing gingerly at the pool he held. It seemed okay, but what made it look so strange? A flip of his palm sent the water falling back with a slight splash, before he raised his fingers to readjust the bandana at his neck. He let his eyes wander, searching for signs that other wildlife had been here. Had there, he would be sure it was okay to drink.
