The sound was echoing through the dim light.

The slow consistent drip of water onto stone.

I closed my eyes tightly and there was not much difference, but the only sound that was in this cave with me filled my mind. Adding a kind of rhythm to the fear within.

How do I get out of here? I cried internally. I breathed in the damp air and focused on the sound, hoping to hear something, anything, else that would hint at a way out.

Then there was. Or at least I thought there was. The quietest sound that I almost doubted was there. A soft noise that sounded almost like something dragging along the ground.

I opened my eyes quickly. What if something is in here with me? I scanned the cave and the tunnels leading in various directions. Searching, straining my eyes for signs of some kind of movement.

Something moved in the opening of one of the tunnels. A shadow. Or what seemed like one.

It was black. Blending into the gaping passage that it seemed to be emerging from.

Panic started to fill me and I scrambled to my feet, pressing my back to the cold stone I had been leaning against. I glanced across the closest tunnels wondering which would be the best to flee down.

And get even more lost.

My gaze darted back to the shadow and my heart thumped as I realized it was now inside this cave with me. And was coming right toward me.

As it got closer and my eyes strained, its form began to take shape. It wasn’t a shadow. It was a real… creature. Just the darkest black in colour I had ever seen.

Suddenly my panic started to fade. I started taking in the creature with almost an interest. A small, dragon-like thing. A softly rounded face, eyes that seemed blacker than it’s skin, if that was even possible, small white lights seemed to sparkle from within the blackness. There was certainly no light to be reflected in here. It had two unreasonably small wings and a thick tail that was the source of the sound.

A sound that was still barely audible. I watched its approach, and it moved in near complete silence.

I realized I was no longer scared. Not even about the fact I was hopelessly lost in this cave. The creature was staring directly at me and already halfway across the cave by now. But all fear was gone.

I relaxed and stared right back. I lowered to a crouching position and looked directly into its deep, seemingly endless eyes. “What are you?” I whispered, adding a foreign sound to the silent cave.

No response. Its approach did not even falter or slow.

Within no time it had reached me. It stopped and still did not break its gaze. Truthfully it was a small thing, not much bigger than a large dog. Something about it, her, calmed me.

I lifted my hand and reached out to her. She did not flinch. My fingers touched her black smooth head and, to my surprise, it was much warmer than the air around us. As I pressed my palm against her I was flooded with an overwhelming peace.

I was safe.
