Dreadful Downpour (OPEN)

[Deleted]

Caia was face down to the mud as she trudged through the rain. It had been a beautiful Spring day. Sun shining, a gentle breeze and a nice warmth all around. It'd only taken a few seconds before dark, heavy clouds blotted out the sun. Then all the heavens broke loose. Rain poured down mercilessly, hitting like frozen pellets. Caia, now soaked to the bone in only a few minutes was now quickly searching for shelter. Blue eyes tried to pick something out between the sheets of rain. Finally between the murky shapes, an overhang seemed to protrude, Perfect.
Rushing forward, Caia tried hard not to slip in the muck. She barely missed stepping right into a deep pool! <i> Stupid rain </i>
As she reached the overhang and shook herself out, the girl noticed a roar of water that didn't sound like the rain. Looking to the source, she saw a massive waterfall. The water that ran off the edge was white with speed and force as it flew over the edge, fueled by the downpour. Caia's eyes widened at the pure ferocity of it and slowly inched away. Hopefully this rain wouldn't last too long.

Bane:

After leaving the white wolves' caves behind, the gray male had taken his own time descending the mountain. The rocky terrain had always seemed inviting to him since he had grown up in the mountains far to the east where the sun rises. There was just something about solid stone under his paws, massive boulders all around him, and towering cliffs looming above him that made him feel safe. Maybe it was the shadows that made him feel secure, maybe it was the darkness of the stony landscape that made him feel hidden. One thing was for sure, he would always love the mountains.

Another thing Bane had to adapt to was the physical change of not needing sleep. Sure he had to rest after scaling up a vertical cliff, but during the night he never felt a need to lie down and close his eyes to sleep. He liked prowling through the long night and not being hindered with a heavy drowsiness because of lack of sleep, it was only an ability that was beyond normal behavior, and it took getting used to. It was almost like he was free from the natural instinct that held him in bondage all his life, he felt immortal in a way, and slightly pitied the other wolves in the valley.

During his journey through the mountain, autumn had made itself distinct, and shadows lingered in the dark places beneath the rocks and stones. This gave Bane perfect opportunities to practice his shadow mastery. But that had to wait as dark clouds slowly grow over the horizon and spread their mass over the sky. A rain storm was on it's way, and the chill scent of it's coming was obvious in the air. A late season downpour was ready to send it's cold rain on the changing land. Bane scanned the mountain side for a temporary shelter, his golden eyes caught a larger cliff in the distance, and to his thrill, a river of water was continually pouring over it in a mad rush to reach the bottom.

The water fall was roaring as he came up to it and stopped to behold the sight, it seemed like a decent enough shelter, only if her could find an overhang that would keep him dry from the rain and the waterfall's misty spray. Shortly Bane found a small cavern that cut into the cliff, and lowered his mass on the ground in a laying position with his head looking out at the entrance and his forepaws stretched out in front of him. The cavern's mouth provided a wide view as the skies suddenly let down their wrath. Grimly the land was being soaked with the heavy autumn rain, and the hard droplets came down like icicles chilling everything they landed on. Suddenly bane's eyes spotted a distant movement down below the falls, he slightly raised his body from the ground curious as he made out the figure to be a wolf.
