(Blood Raid) Settling In Icy Accommodations

Lilith had decided that now was the time to move and claim a home for herself. Her and her mounts temporary residence from before having only lasted for a short while. It was not something she wished to make a habit of, instead wanting a place where she could truly settle down. Her mount was restless as well, in need of an area where it could safely run and climb, to strengthen that musculature.

Her pet had taken over guarding the small pouch of seeds that had been provided to them by the goddess Ichor, keeping them within her mouth as they traveled.

The call to collect the pouch of seeds had been a small shock, that much was certain. At first she had thought that her mind had left, leaving nothing behind but her mutated body. Luckily it had proven different as her journey out to the sands had brought fourth a new goal.

She was to plant the seeds and make some new friends, the first she could do but the second was certainly going to be a challenge. She was not one for being buddy buddy with others or even remotely friendly. She was a bit of a recluse, enjoying the company of her own thoughts and occasionally speaking with her pet.

One out of two wouldn't be bad at least, it was as much as she was willing to do.

First thing was first however, she needed a place to consider home and that would be safe to keep the plants alive well enough to grow. So far all of the caves they had discovered were rather difficult to consider living in.

They were icy, cold, covered head to toe in water, hard to walk in, to small for her Meowler to comfortably live within, or were just to small and didn't provide enough room for expansion. It was almost frustrating how difficult it was becoming to find the perfect home. That and one other reason was keeping her from making the few that were relatively warm home, and that was due to the lack of soil to plant the seeds in.

Luckily after a few hours of searching, she seemed to have found the perfect place.

It was a massive cavern, 30ft in diameter and well over 15ft in height. Walkways of stone lined the walls of the cave and criss crossed above, closer to the ceiling. Perfect for her mount to run, climb, and jump. A large pool of lava was centered towards the back right of the cave, heating the entire place relatively well and providing a nice amount of light.

Off to the left rear of the cave was a place full of volcanic soil with a tunnel that led to a natural skylight. Perfect for planting things that didn't grow bigger than a few feet. The entire place was just what she had been looking for. She was not wanting to plant things today however, the journey having taken almost everything out of her.

Her Meowler on the other hand seemed to have endless energy, climbing and exploring their new home with ease.

Lilith laid down near the lava pool with the pouch of seeds, perfectly content to nap for a little while. She dozed off, allowing her mount to do as it pleased until she was in need of her.
