[Erysichthon]

(Ooc: this was made to help Neo and I catch his little “mouse”. I need more people to join in, on our journey full of MISCHIEF!!! Like scaring pups and snapping at elders, then this is the right thread for you. Lets starts out with a little avalanche, shall we?)

Though recently Ery had stood perched at the edge of these sharp cliffs, he'd never ventured down the dangerous inclines.. until now, of course. He'd been surprised to find at the southern edge of the Beyond that it was possible to actually make his way down into the valley. Was it safe? No, not really, but what in life was ever rewarding that was super safe? Not much, as far as he was concerned. Interested, Ery started his descent down the icy cliffside - he was pleased to find a way down and wondered how tall the larger-than-life cliffs would look once he reached the bottom. Surely it would be a sight to behold..

The climb was a precarious one. Winter had already began to touch the north, and a decent amount of snow coated the sides of the Beyond rocks that Erysicthon was using to scale the cliffside were coated in a thin layer of ice, making him lose his grip more than once, though the male was focused on his descent. It was only when he approached the bottom that an eerie sound behind him caught his attention. For a moment he thought it might be the wind, roaring across the valley and creating a low rumble, but as he turned to stare up at the way he'd came he realized something was very, very wrong. The sound was like nothing he'd ever heard before, a low rumble that came from the earth itself, and that was when he saw it.

Sharp drifts of snow had begun to come barreling down the cliff, bringing a cascade effect down with it. It only took a few seconds before it intensified, and Ery’s eyes widened as he looked on in horror as the entire contents of the cliffside came rushing toward him. Shit. He'd had enough experience with snow that he knew it wasn't anything like water - it was powerful, and fast, and if he tried to outrun the avalanche he knew he might get pushed further down the cliffside in the process. Thinking fast, Ery came up with a plan. He went rushing toward a nearby boulder, and with that in mind he crouched behind it and hunkered toward the ground. Sure, he might get buried in snow and have to dig himself out, but it was better than being pushed around at will! That was his plan, at least...
