Thread: The Striders Quest

Cassil contunies to guide samara down in to the darkness ,to a ledge and aand shows her a smaller whole and then a hand inerges from it a glowing hand.

Shadow looks around until he finds a place he can lower himself to the ground and sit. Once down on the ground he pulls his pipe out of his bag, fills it with tobacco, tamps it, lights it up and then he begins to chant in his native tongue, a sing song sound that pulls at the heart strings of the other Garou waiting for their pack mate to return.

As Samara and Cassil crawl deeper and deeper into the crevasse and the ambient light starts to fade away, the cool damp that is ever present in caves begins to seep into their hearts. This is a place of sorrow they are entering. They both realize at the same time that this task will challenge them on more than just physical ability.

After climbing and winding through passages barely wide enough to fit through, Samara and Cassil come out into a tiny room about the size of a tent. The walls here seem to be giving off their own natural light and are covered in some kind of incandescent mold or slime. There is a charred black circle in the middle of the floor.

Samara sends a telepathic link to her packmates

~I'm in a small room, there's a charred black circle in the middle of the floor. I think this is it. Thank you all for supporting me, and accepting me. I love you all!~

She cuts the link from her pack, she did not want them to know what she was about to go through. This was something that Owl told her she had to do as a Strider. The gloom tries to push onto her, and starts to win.
She quickly thinks of Black Sam, Drahcir, and Claudia...Sam and Dra had given their lives, it may be time for her to offer hers.

She shakes her head...

No, I'll come out of this...Cassil and I will both come out of this.

She inspects the circle in the center, using the natural light as much as she can.

Owl, guide us.

Cassil takes a deep breath and helps samara as she does what is needed but asks the owl and the other spirits for thier gauidance for the trip back out to the others .

You know you have reached the appropriate location, the spirits have designated this spot.

When Samara gets confirmation that this is the spot she stands in the center of the charred circle.

"Well here goes. Time to see if this was all worth it."

She looks at Cassil and takes in a deep breath.

"You can go back, or you can come with me. Either way I do not suggest you staying here."

my choise is to continue with you as i to have to be there

She holds her hand out to Cassil.

"Do you know what to do from here? I mean do you know how to get into the gauntlet?"
