Beneath Meghalaya's Surface: Unveiling the Enchanting World of Caves.

Meghalaya, within its vast underground world, has over 1700 recognized caves spread across its geography!

“More than 1,700 caves and cave locations are known in Meghalaya but 1,100 of them have been explored, partially or fully.” says Mr.Brian D. Kharpran Daly, General Secretary of Meghalaya Adventure Association.

As of now, the total cave passage that has been explored and mapped in the state stretches an impressive 537.6 km.

While some caves are accessible during the summer, it's during the winters that one can truly delve deep into the underground wonders, as the risks of flooding are minimal.

Here are a few captivating frames from @naomibakorkharbyngar showcasing the mesmerizing caves of Meghalaya.

That being said, winter is right around the corner, and we can’t wait to go caving again.

Peak Cavern: The Devils Arse - Castleton, Hope Valley, Peak District

The cave system is the largest in the Peak District, and the main entrance is the largest cave entrance in Britain. Until 1915, the cave was home to some of Britain's last troglodytes, who lived in houses built inside the cave mouth and made a living from rope making, while the depths of the cave were known as a haven for bandits.

unblurred version and a happy accident i made by hiding two layers :D

[firefox-enthusiast]

We have a game here were a person tells a story, the others choose if it's fabricated one or a real one.

Last night I was supposed to tell a fabricated one:

I was trying out for being a firefighter, I had to complete a fitness test and the test was to put four giraffes onto the fourth floor without using the stairs. I figured I'd catapult them using a rocketpowered catapult. It got the job done but it didn't give me a passing grade because I was supposed to stack them on a trampoline. But I got a job at the city's invention creation center, where you have to invent something new every hour you are at work. I decided to never show up at work then and I wanted to live in a cave but the city didn't have caves. So I blew up parts of the city to make a cave, reasonable parts, no one got hurt. But that meant the fire department was after me and I infiltrated the firedepartment to partake in the manhunt. They never suspected a thing. I was never found out.

livin in the age where more and more stories are straight-up morality tales. we need to bring back "would that be fucked up or what" fiction.

be uncomfortable (casting like a spell).

[waddei]

anyone else has ever thought about how ctommy MUST HAVE at least once, venture deeper into the cavesystem below pogtopias main ravine?

ive always assumed thye found at least 1 underground waterway to supply technos farm .. wilbur doesnt strike me as a big caving guy, i dont think the confunsigly layed out dark passages really helped the paranoia. tommy himself being claustrofobic also doenst seem like a big cave fan to me. its pretty much canon that he hated pogtopia cus of how stuffy it was

but when they where alone,before techno before anyone else, and wilbur was spiraling and they needed resources tommy would have 100 percent offered himself to go exploring.. just saying

he HATEDDD it for the most part, but he found looking at the odd rock formations mesmerizing and if he ever did find anything usefull thatll surely help him and wilbur get out of here faster right

what im trying to say is: im losing my mind

[thedarkangelpuppet]

Suprisingly thats not all alicon's.

Opaline is now a Kirin. Since the whole alicorn of fire and being powered by Dragonfire....

G1 Twilight just Twilight is a mix between her G1 unicorn self and the G1 so soft pegasus and now Luna and Twilight Sparkles Daughter and a batpony. I actuallu really like her shes soo cute

the name Twilight just runs in the family since Twilights Sparkle's mother is Twilight Velvet.

My take on the Princess Sterling alicorn from the g4 toyline.

Shes now Cadence's mom and sorta has a similar role to Princess Amore that she is the previous Queen of the Empire. However since i mentioned the Crystalisation progress her Crystalisation went off completly and she dissapeared only to return as an Umbrum.

also speaking of the Crystal empire the Jewel desert leads into the caves where the Crystal empire is.

the gems are also in the cavesystems and in the crystal empire.

the crystal heart slows the progress of crystalisation down. but when a crystal pony is old or is lured far away into places where the crystal heart's light doesn't reach they crystalises fully and burst open to reveal their new Umbrum forms

[muppenthings]

Ohhhhhhh I wanna know everything about the two stealth check ocs!!!! Only if you wanna share ofc...

I can give a little summary. xD

They're from a world of monsters and magic (magic here is called Aether. this is important. but not very. just a term.)

Aether is ranked in tiers. From non-Aether to tier 1 to tier 3. Then there's the Primordial tier.

Atula (the sneaky sneak) is an Aetherborn, a human born with Aether. She's part of a group of hunters that, as the name suggests, hunts Aetherbeasts. Either because the beasts are a danger to people or for their materials. It doesn't always entail actively killing the beasts either. Either way, hunting Aetherbeasts is a high-stake high-reward occupation. Atula is only in it because she wants to earn a lot of money so that she can retire early (she wants to buy a cottage and grow vegetables in peace mkay). So in the group that she's part of, she's the strategist, never in the line of battle.

Well they had an unfortunate run in with an Aetherbeast, leaving Atula alone in a giant cavesystem and looking for the exit.

(un)Luckily for her, this particular one just wants to have a "glorious battle!!!" because all of his fights are one-sided and "no fun".

But he senses something about Atula. She can become a great fighter. She just needs a little push.

Or five hundred.

The story of how a poor Aetherborn, who just wants to retire, gets stuck with an Aetherbeast who's trying his best to put her in in as many bad situations as he can. What doesn't kill you makes you stronger right?

About

Personality:

To those who don't know Sonya, he comes across as rather cool and unflinching, a mysterious figure who's a bit of a loner and doesn't like doing a lot of work. This however, isn't really the truth.

Likes:

Sonya is very friendly, but not super social, being more introverted. He likes to ask questions and learn about people, but doesn't like to reveal much about his past before the guild. Sonya doesn't scare easily, in fact it's become a running theme of his guild mates going through increasingly complicated plans to try and scare him, but nothing has worked so far. He's very humble and doesn't talk about his successes a lot, but he gives credit where credit is due. He's also very blunt with his words, sometimes offending or insulting his friends and guildmates without even realizing. Sonya also has a rather bad habit of talking outloud, especially when he's thinking about whatever new gadgets he has in the works. Generally speaking, he's fine with being social, but isn't very good at it no matter how much those around him try to teach him.

• Tinkering with ethernano powered things

• The colours blue and red

• Moonstone (it apparently tastes the best)

• Snakes

• Soft Pretzels

• Early fall

• Underground rooms, cavesystems, and mines (just anywhere underground)

Dislikes:

• Missions more than 2 weeks long

• The colours orange and green

• Pyrite (tastes terrible)

• Weird looking bugs

• Jello

• Snow

Habbits:

• Hights

Hobbies:

He has a habit of bitting his rings and necklace

Dreams:

Creating devices and weapons using his crystals and ethernano

To find his dragon again, and to prove his old guild wrong.

Backstory:

Sonya was raised by the dragon Ophillus, the crystal dragon. She was like a mother to him, being both wise and stern, however she had rather terrible social advice which influenced how Sonya interacts with other humans. When Ophillus disappeared, Sonya was lost and afraid, having nothing but his power to his name.

At fist he began stealing to survive, but after being caught by an old retired inventor named Vinny, the man realized the potential the young boy had and struck a deal. Sonya would create crystals for Vinny to sell and make money off of, and in turn he would teach Sonya about the world, and more importantly about his inventions.

During his time living with Vinny, Sonya started his passion for knowledge and inventing, loving to listen to Vinney talking about old lost magics and technologies that have been lost to time. Sonya was a little inventing prodigy, and very quickly started creating his own little devices just to see what he could do. During this time he grew to see Vinny as a a father figure, and joined him on his expeditions down into caves, lost forests, and abandoned ruins, despite the older man's age. It was in one of these old ruins that they found a very large cocoon made of a couple big leaves. It started moving and hatching, and out popped a kind of cat-raccoon looking creature that could talk. Sonya took it home and named it Rascal, and the two became best friends.

Sonya lived with Vinny until he was 15, then he and Rascal left to join a guild that specialized in searching for magic and learning lost and unknown magical knowledge. The guild was called Axsis Mundi and Sonya was very well excepted by everyone, everyone but one person. His name was Roi and for whatever reason he decided to hate Sonya. He was a bit of a hot head, but was downright hostile towards Sonya. Sonya theorized that it was because Roi used to be the most knowledgeable and successful of the group, having a rare form of magic called Sola magic, related to the sun. Then when Sonya came with his experience and even more rare magic, Roi felt that his role in the guild was being threatened.

After being with the guild for only a year, he and Roi were both assigned on a mission along with Roi's sister Eve, who had moon related magic called Luna. It wasn't ideal, but the three of them all had the right abilities to take on a rather important mission that couldn't be ignored. There was a small isolated mountain village that had some sort of a curse related outbreak of sickness the could only be cured by a secret village healing spell, however no one knew how to use it, or even read it.

While on the mission, everything was fine, until an unexpected encounter with a strong enemy shook them. They ended up both loosing the knowledge of the powerful healing spell, and failing to use said spell to cure the small village of their blight, which resulted in many deaths. Sonya was very badly injured and was in a month long coma, during that time Roi told everyone how the whole thing was all Sonya's fault and how it was his reckless that got all those people killed. When Sonya came to and found that his guild had turned on him, he tried to defend himself, and turned to Eve for help. But she lied to save her brother, knowing that if the truth came out he would be kicked instead.

Sonya was banished from the guild and he worked odd jobs for a while before running into Makarov by pure coincidence. After they talked for a while the elder offered to show Sonya around his guild, but at first Sonya declined, not wanting to get into another bad situation like that again. After a couple weeks of no money, he decided to cut his losses and check out the guild, where he then became a member. At first he didn't really feel like talking and just wanted the money from missions, but eventually the warm and chaotic atmosphere wore him down and he became more social.

His Nickname, the 100 day warrior, came about when Sonya was specifically sent on a mission my Makarov, as the request may have had a lead on the mysterious man he was looking for. It was about a group of criminals who were occupying an old ethernano crystal mine and laboratory, one that was abandoned by the magic council due to the mine losing its structural integrity and the toxicity of being around such concentrated ethernano causing some toxic backlash. Due to Sonya's constitution as a Crystal Dragon Slayer, he was the only one who could be around the crystalised Ethernano without going sick. The mission would be around a year long at the least, but Sonya was willing to do it.

During his mission he attempted to sneak into the mine, but had underestimated the amount of people there and was forced to fight. After fighting for two days straight and running on empty, Sonya was nearly killed when he decided to bite the bullet and eat the ethernano crystals for energy. It gave him great power and he was able to keep fighting, and ended up fighting all by himself, 1 v 400 in an unstable mine, for 33 days straight with little time for eating and sleeping. He managed to defeat every single member, and after he let himself rest and recover, handing all the criminals over to the magic council, he was on damage control. Sonya had to write up a detailed report on what was happening in the mine, still being the only one who could go into it safely, while worker for the council gathered whatever was in the lab. In total the year long mission only ended up taking 100 days, and Sonya gaind a lot of wealth after that.

When he came back from his mission there was a celebration, and the tale of his exploits were sung in the halls of the guild. There was a lot of fun and alcohol, and sometime in the night the story got somewhat skewed. It was then rumored that Sonya fought for 100 days straight, not jut 33, and that he came back with not a scratch on him, which was only because he had the other 67 days to heal. After this mission, it was decided that Sonya was worthy of taking the S class trials.

Sonya worked very hard on his abilities, eventually working his way up to S Rank by the time he was 18, and became very well known and sought after for his skills and magic ability. Currently, Sonya still regularly talks to and visits Vinny, and is working towards finding the mysterious man to prove his innocence.

Spells:

Due to his properties as a dragon slayer, Sonya can eat crystals for energy, usually seen snacking on a piece of common Quart. However, Sonya also has the unique ability to eat ethernano crystals without the harsh backlash.

Crystal Dragon Roar

Crystal Mirror

- Sonya roars crystals from his mouth that cut and slash at the enemy until they are ribbons.

Crystal Mirror reflection

- Sonya creates large crystals that he can merge into and travel between instantaneously, making him unbelievably fast.

Crystal Dragon Tectonic Armor

- Sonya creates crystal mirrors in front of an attack, which the mirror then "catches" before reflecting the attack back at the enemy or any direction he chooses. The attack doesn't even have to come out of the same mirror. The mirror can only "catch" an attack that is of 1.5 × the power of Sonya at his current state.

- Sonya creates a layer of crystal armor that looks like dragon scales around his body. These scales are infused with ethernano and are nearly as strong as real dragon scales

Ophillus is his foster mother

Vincent "Vinny" is his father figure

- the dragon who raised him. She was very beautiful, her scales made from crystals that refracted light in a way that made it look like she was glowing. She was more Serpentine looking than typical dragons, with two sets of feathered wings and a furry mane what went down to her tail. She was a darker blue/purple at the head, and changed to violet, magenta, pink, and peach at the tail. The underbelly was Moonstone white.

- Rascal the exceed

- an older "retired" inventor and scholar who took Sonya into his home in exchange for money. He's a tall wiry old man with long, frizzy white hair that he keps in a thin braid. He's got a straw hat and an eyepatch that he switches between his eyes. His attire makes it look like he's always about to go fishing, with rubber boots, cargo pants, and a vest over a tee.

Friends:

The exceed that Sonya found, he has no wings to fly, but is very proficient in transformation magic and likes to transform into random inanimate objects (and then get mad when people try to use him like an inanimate object). He looks more like a raccoon than a cat, with a big ringed tail, mask like pattern on his face, grey fur, and grabby little hands rather than paws. He has a leaf on his head and a small basket on his back. His guild mark is forest green and on his stomach.

"Hiding away from the old stone highways that branched throughout the cavesystem, a strange ruin lay in the center of a mushroom forest.

A strange contraption protrudes from the center of the rubble array, with four pedestals marked with figureheads of what appear to be different animals. Before you is a brick building with a cast-iron vault door, and a pressure plate. The pedestals are arranged; A frog, a bear, a snake, and a fox. You tinker with the arrangement, pushing pedestals into a different order. With a bit of brainpower and trial and error - you step onto the pressure plate and hear the clunk of a heavy mechanism. Inside the room lies a marble table with engravings for palms - cyan text illuminates - “Behold nature’s hunger, and meddle the food chain.” Upon placing your hand, you feel it lock in, as if magnetic. You descend into a dungeon." This is part #3 of the Professional Procrastinator's Amateur DnD maps, although it should technically be #2. The dungeon that actually allowed entry to the graveyard from my previous post was accessed via this mechanism. You can see me slowly getting a handle on shading and texturing throughout these images lol. I was originally going to include the small reward room in this post because it looked really good, but I'll leave it to another for now.

Oh, Reno was so fucking tense. Glenn was sur eteh Turk hated every second of this. And he was just focused on one thing, while Glenn saw an opportunity to save a few more lives. Which totally crossed Reno's plans.

The defector just gave a shrug.

"We get them to a cavesystem outside the walls that hasn't been of any interest in years. It's secured by rebels. They can get a clear head there, away from Shinra for a time. If they decide to go back, that's on them and the location of some random cave won't get Shinra anything, nothing else is held there. Shinra already knows my name and all - you? You can wear a mask and just shut up for once and leave me the talking."

oh for fuck sake.

great, not only was he having to side with a wanted defector to try and extricate his brother out of the company he worked for, but now he was getting roped into kidnapping the SOLDIER recruits.

this day was going from bad to worse.

rubbing a hand over his face, reno shot glenn a look of utter annoyance.

' and where the fuck are we hiding these kids? and what happens when they make up their own minds and toddle on back to shinra with our names on their lips? '

I just remembered this and found my old turret sketch of a more militarized version. And realized this might actually work as a design for the "military-grade" turret.

Mammoth Cave in Kentucky, USA is the world's longest known cave system, with more than 400 miles ( 643 km ) explored. The formations of Mammoth Cave is incredible, each area in this cave seems to be a doorway into another new world of colours, shapes, sizes and creatures. In 1981 the Mammoth Cave was inscribed as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO.
