Despite her body urging her to turn around and escape, she ran towards the sounds instead, eventually coming across the strangest sight. While it was clear the area had once caved in, there was now a large eerily perfectly round hole where stone and rubble had once sat. She knew the local moles in the area had evolved magically to the point that they could dig and eat stone, but they never formed holes that cut so perfectly. Something else, perhaps more dangerous lurked within. She considered turning around to alert her fellow guild members, but once more, curiosity got the better of her, as she slid down the pathway.
The feline continued to follow the path of destruction, yet despite the carving out of stone, there was no rubble. Haru could only surmise that there was either, some sort of machine was digging out the dirt and collecting it, or something was completely disintegrating the walls. The latter was much more terrifying. She had come too far to turn back now though, as she pressed on. Eventually, she found a large deceased mole and upon inspection, she found it possessed a large hole in its body, not unlike those made in the walls. Not a big loss to the mining community, but still, worrisome that something had easily chewed through the beast.
Pressing on further she'd find shattered crystals and gemstones that lay in pieces on the ground. The prospector in her felt her heart drop. So many jewels gone to waste. By this point, she could feel the magical lantern her client had issued her begin to run out of juice, so she had to replenish it with some of her own magical energy before continuing forward. The mines looked less like mines now and more like some sort of carved out ruins. Perhaps dwarves used to live in these mountains?
The silver maned feline had to pause for a moment as she finally spied something at the edge of her lantern's range. Not a mole, nor a person. But a cat. Similar to Renji in many aspects except the colour of its fur. Crimson coloured. It was waiting at what looked like a stone door. No way, had such a cute little creature caused all this destruction? Was Renji capable of this kind of thing too? Clearing her throat he'd tried to get the little one's attention, hopefully, it wouldn't be openly hostile towards her.
