[DarkForbidden-Love]

Dark turned around to see how Alexander was faring and saw him almost fall. Obviously something was wrong with how Alexander was walking. "Try walking toes first." Dark advised after seeing Alexander trip for the uptenth time, "It is easier to walk rocky paths like that if you don't mind the occasional stubbed toe."

he corrected his stance and it became easier to balance 'thankyou' he continued on, still with issues but not as badly as before

[DarkForbidden-Love]

Dark was pleased to note that Alexander seemed to be improving. He still was having problems but not as much, which was better than almost anyone else on their first try. Dark stopped suddenly and signaled for Alexander to stop so that he would not bump into Dark. Dark was standing on the edge of a sudden drop off. "Carefull here, the ledge is smaller then I remember." What he was talking about was a ledge that went down into the bottom of the gorge. It was large enough for one person to walk down comfortably.

[littl3chocobo]

he came over to the other ignoring the pain on the back of one of his heels. looking towards where dark pointed he saw a gorge three body-lengths long and steep, the small ledge hugging the wall was only a couple inches at the most. he felt reluctant to go any farther. 'it is down there?'

[DarkForbidden-Love]

"Not all the way down, just half way." Dark said. "If you lean against the wall you can tell once it turns into a tunnel. The leadge will also continue so if you miss the tunnel you'll go down to the bottom of the gorge." Dark started down the ledge.

[littl3chocobo]

'ah' he followed close behind the other all the same

[DarkForbidden-Love]

Dark kept a careful grip on his bowl and the utensils as he made it sown the ledge. "The tunnel is soon." He said after he started recognize some of the features of the gorge.

[littl3chocobo]

he spared a glance for the scenery, even now with the sun weaker and the plants losing their summer luster it was easy to see the beauty of this place. he turned his head back to dark though and kept going, it would not do to break his leg over a veiw

[DarkForbidden-Love]

Darkk felt the corners of the cave press into his back and tookk a diagnol step into the cave. It was dark in there, but not impossoble. "Just a liitle ways in here, then we can see the waterfall."

[littl3chocobo]

he stepped over close behind the other nearly touching in some places a fair hand-span behind in others. he made sure not to be left behind and was happy to hear their destination was within sight

[DarkForbidden-Love]

Dark took a couple steps forward and then the cave suddenly opened up into a glade. "There," Dark said pointing to the furthest side of it. The waterfall was large and flowing quickly, the rocks had trees and bushed growing freely in them.

[littl3chocobo]

it was beautiful, he could see how this inspired the small fall in his book, everything from the shale cliff to the three large rocks it was an exact replica in position and color, only size and dometication differed between the two. he had to stop

[DarkForbidden-Love]

"It is beautiful isn't it." Dark said noticing Alexander's face.

[littl3chocobo]

'it is' he replied quietly. the birds chirped and the noonday sun glittered across the water, he was almost moved to tears. he reached out to dark and grasping his hands brought the other's fingers to his lips kissing the knuckles he offered a humble 'thankyou' for the gift of having been able to see this place.

[DarkForbidden-Love]

Dark smiled at Alexander, "You are welcome. The only reason this place is so beautiful anymore though is it is very difficult to get to. " Dark tried not to dwell on what would happen if someone else found this place. "The waterfall looks best up close though," Dark took Alexander's hand and led him to the waterfall, as they got closer the noise the waterfall made increased untill talking would be futile.

[littl3chocobo]

the noise and spray were something to behold, he could not hear anything else and there was almost a fine mist about it. he was led by the other until they came to a small ledging near the fall, it was suspended out into the water but was just far enough to ovoid becoming wet, he could see a broaud landing just beyond it and another ledge leading underneath the fall. the other led him onto the walk and they crossed over onto the stone face, setting down his things dark took off his shoes and rolled up his shorts to above the knee, alexander watched then did the same
