A Quest {OPEN}

[dogzrock]

The winds increased as the pair drew closer to shifting pass. Rinzi struggled to keep herself from plummeting.

[Shrike]

Wavering in the air, Cirus flew in front of his friend in an effort to ease the airflow. "So what's your plan?"

[dogzrock]

"Uh... wing it?" Rinzi tried

[Shrike]

"So be it!" Cirus twisted into a corkscrew dive.

[dogzrock]

Rinzi tucked into a dive and followed Cirus into the mist of the shifting pass.

[Shrike]

The rumbling sound of boulders crashing down cliff sides echoed through the swirling must as Cirus flapped to a halt.

[dogzrock]

A shadow of a moving boulder passed in the corner of Rinzi's vision. "Look out!" she screeched and dived to the right to avoid the rock. Then suddenly Rinzi was fighting against a huge burst of wind.

[Shrike]

Panic seized Cirus' chest as he heaved himself upwards. "What a treacherous place!" He said dramatically to no kne in particular, fighting off his fear.

[dogzrock]

Rinzi couldn't hear Cirus's voice over the winds howling in her ears. She noticed a boulder swinging straight towards her. Rinzi struggled desperately but she and the wind were at a stand still. Suddenly the wind died. Rinzi suddenly shot forward and almost slammed straight into another boulder. But she managed to avoid it by a feather.

[Shrike]

Breathing hard the falcon weaves around two other falling chunks of rock and clay only to find himself in a cavern.

[dogzrock]

Rinzi dived beneath a falling rock only an inches away from becoming a feathery pancake. She noticed Cirus disappear into a wall. A wall? She weaved her way towards the wall. Until she was struggling against the wind to hover beside it. Another boulder cause her to attempt to flatten herself against the wall but instead she tumbled backwards into a cavern.

[Shrike]

Cirus huffed in and out, his wings pumping steadily. The white and black falcon was tired. "Wow! Not even a day and I'm pooped!" He exclaimed, attempting to lighten the mood.

[dogzrock]

Rinzi panted as she looked around the cavern. "Maybe we can rest here," she suggested.

[Shrike]

"I don't want to jinx us...but I hope so." Cirus waited for a crash or something to disrupt the peace. Nothing, the eerie silence stretched on, the only sounds the flapping of wings.

[dogzrock]

Rinzi talons gripped the cave floor. She began to caught to breath and try to slow her heartbeat but the tenseness of the situation just seemed to make her heart beat faster than before.
