I carefully dragged Lupus out of the water and giggled. “You ok? Careful, don’t fall in again.”
I carefully dragged Lupus out of the water and giggled. “You ok? Careful, don’t fall in again.”
"Yeah, f-fine." Lupus shook out his fur and stood next to Sofie, looking very fluffy and still very wet.
I giggled a little more. He looked like a sea otter!
At least he was wide awake now. Lupus looked around a bit, occasionally shaking out his fur again and shivering.
“Are you ready to get moving?” I said after I made sure Lupus was okay.
Lupus nodded. "Where are we going, again?"
“The waterfall!”
"Ohhhh, okay. Um, why are we going to the waterfall?" He cocked his head to the side.
“For fun. And…. because I’ve heard that the good mythical creatures roam there and some even say the waterfall itself is magical but I doubt it.”
"Ooooh! Magic! What kind of magic?" Lupus wagged his tail cheerfully.
“Healing and prophecies and stuff.”
"That's cool. Do you think I'm in a prophecy?"
“Maybe. I know I am-I mean… never mind.”
They can’t know. It will attract… them.
Lupus didn't seem to notice, and just continued trotting cheerfully beside Sofie.
It didn’t take much time to follow the stream to a large pool where the waterfall splashed into the clear blue liquid. Small yet deep puddles of water were scattered around the pool, as clear as glass.
Lupus touched a puddle with one paw. He sniffed the water, which smelled faintly fruity.
Rainbows danced everywhere and I felt myself fading. The magic reached towards me and pulled my mind towards its twirling colors. I stepped forward, water shining on my fur. I shook my head. What just happened? The waterfall seemed to enchant those in its presence, drawing them into its glistening waters.
All of a sudden, the waterfall was beating on Lupus's head. He had walked right under it without noticing. The force of it knocked him down, and he couldn't breathe with the water on his face like that. He struggled to pull himself backwards, spluttering.
Sofie grabbed Lupus and dragged him away from the tumbling waterfall. “It’s enchanting us! Just tell yourself it isn’t real. I spotted something between the rocks that the waterfall covers. It looks like a cave just large enough for us to fit into. Maybe we should investigate?”
Lupus coughed and nodded, shaking out his fur to dry off a bit.
“So… yes? Explore?”
"S-sure. I'll follow you."
I slid into the waterfall and cranes my neck so I could make out the perfect point to enter. It was easy to pass between the two boulders with wet fur and once inside the cave opened up. The cavern was huge! The bird we had seen earlier could fit inside. Stone sparkled on the walls and water trickled into puddles. The whole cave seemed to glow. Stalagmites and stalagtites littered the cave. The farther back the tunnel went, the darker it got.
