Whisker was quite fascinated at the place he had arrived.
The aquifer was water collected in large cavernous bedrocks where the beasts settled in. The porcupine was inside one of these massive caverns, settling in like a fetus settled in its mother's womb.
Whisker couldn't see anything, so he could only work based on what he could sense. The water around him wasn't clear at all. It was more of a muddy sludge as it would be this deep underground.
It was quite cold, with this region having collected Yin for the majority of the previous night. He reckoned that as the sun rose high in the sky throughout the day, the Yin throughout this region would lower by the second as well.
There were many questions that flooded his mind, the strongest one of which was what the beast was doing there exactly. Why had it come down only to stay in one of these muddy water pockets?
In the first place, where had the water come from?
