1956 - The Cave Behind the Waterfall
Bright, white snow swirled over paw prints left behind in the early-evening sun. Up ahead, a teal and white kiamara stared at her paws as she padded along through the light snowfall. In the pine trees before her lie a shimmering waterfall, it's icy water cascading into a pool below. As the young kiamara reached the tumbling water, she picked up her pace. Galloping, she rushed forward and in one giant leap, she disappeared through the waterfall.
Once inside, crystals seemed to fall off her fur as she shook the drops off of her pelt. The female kiamara snuggled up in a pile of fabric scraps she had collected and closed her eyes, though it was clear she was still awake as she jumped up at any sudden noises. She breathed heavily and rapidly before seeming to cool off. Sometimes, one just needed a break from home and that was exactly what she was doing.
Time passed slowly but this kia was content to go over her thoughts in silence. She spent almost all day like this, lying alone in the mysterious cave behind the waterfall. She went there to calm down or just be alone, as plenty of people do. Normally, the journey seemed like an adventure to a secret destination. This time was different.
While she was in the cave, a snowstorm had begun high on the mountain. The storm raged outside but it was time to go home. Her family mustn't worry or panic, heavy snowfall was nothing new. She took a few steps back and ran forward, gaining momentum to leap back through the waterfall. White paws crashed against the stone floor as she headed for the rushing water. A patch of ice glazed the surface of the ledge, but it was too late to slow down now. The kiamara's front paws left the floor as she took a big step and leapt into the air. But she misjudged her footing, as shining droplets of water covered her pelt and her torso exited the fall of mountain run-off, she plunged headfirst into the quickly-freezing water.
She struggled to come back afloat as the air was knocked out of her by the cold. Water flooded her lungs while she sunk deeper into the pool of slushy mountain water. Panic seemed to fill her up from top to bottom. She thrashed around even more as her sodden fur weighed her down and dragged her further into the shallow depths of the slushy water. Spots blurred her vision and the white and teal kiamara blacked out._________________________________________________________________________________________________________

2007 – The DiscoveryWandering alone in the Swiss Alps, a young scientist stumbled upon a pool of ice, a wide opening in the stone walls behind it. The cave wall had been eroded over time, the once jagged rock now smooth and shiny, as was the waterfall that once covered it. The source from which the waterfall was emerging seemed to have stopped providing for the small pond and stream down below. Now, the pond remained, completely frozen.
He walked over the pool of frozen water, trying to see the depth to which it extended. The pool had not been very deep, but enough so that if he fell in, he would have a difficult time getting out. The water would have been over his head, he was glad that now it was entirely ice and he didn’t have to worry about slipping and falling into the frigid water.
He tried to make out the shapes below his feet, frozen in the thick layer of ice. He passed over one particularly interesting form as he passed over top of it. He squinted at the turquoise blob beneath him, attempting to tell what it was. He stared for a few more moments before deciding he would come back tomorrow with a pick to carve it out of the ice.

The early morning sun began to rise into the sky as the scientist set out the next day, alone once again. He carried with him his pick, and whistled as he went.
Upon arrival at the location of the waterfall, the scientist set to work chipping away at the ice to discover what lay down below. Shards of frozen water flew and sparkled in the air as he dug farther and farther into the pool. He dug around the shape in the glass until he was able to attach cords to the object and pull it out. He squinted at it, trying to make out the blurry form in the ice. Wait, it wasn’t an object hidden in the ice, it was a kiamara!
The scientist jumped back in surprise before returning to the side of the ice chunk. He stared at it a moment longer before re-attaching the cords he had brought. After examination, he found that the other kiamara trapped in the ice was a female who was only about 14 or 15 years old, still quite young. The scientist grabbed hold of the ropes and began to drag the ice back towards his lab. There might still be a chance to unfreeze this kiamara and he was going to take it.2007 - Awakening - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - ---------------------------------------- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -------------
My eyes snapped open to see two men I didn’t know standing directly in front of me. I jumped back, surprised to see the two strangers in front of me. I glanced around me, starting to panic as I had no recollection of who I was, where I was or why I was there. All that I knew –if I knew anything at all- seemed to have disappeared from my mind. My brain was completely empty of memories. “W-where am I?” I accidentally said aloud.
I lay in a pool of water and I was freezing, my teeth chattering even though I didn’t realize they were. These men in front of me seemed to be studying me though I had not the slightest idea why. The whole situation was beginning to frighten me. The more I tried to push my memory and remember why I was here or where I was before here or who I was, the more it all seemed to elude me. I had no idea what to do but get away from these strangers. I began to slowly edge backwards, fur bristling when I slipped and came crashing to the floor.
“I see you’re awake,” one of the scientists said. “My name is John and this is my colleague, Frederic. Welcome to our lab.”
“A l-l-lab?” I stuttered, still frightened. Why would I be in a lab? I wasn’t being experimented on, was I? “H-how did I get here? Who am I? Where is this lab?” I asked.
The scientist frowned at my confusion, “Do you remember anything before you were frozen in that pool of ice?”
“Frozen? What’s going on? How did I get here?” I tried again. I didn’t remember being frozen in ice or how, if it was true, I had ended up in that ice. The more questions I asked, the more confused I seemed to get. I needed some answers.
“You don’t remember anything?” Frederic chimed in. “Anything at all? Nothing before you were frozen in that pool? How you ended up there..?”
I frowned, this was all too perplexing. Why didn’t I remember? A tear rolled down my cheek as the two scientists asked me question after question I didn’t know the answer to. I shook my head and sniffled, “I don’t remember a thing, not even my name. Could you please explain this all to me?” I gestured around the room as I spoke.
As I had asked, I was told what the two scientists knew about me. They had found me in a patch of ice in the Swiss Alps, where it seemed there used to be a waterfall. The pool beneath the place of the waterfall was where I had been frozen. I had been dug up by the two scientists and brought back here. That was it. It wasn’t much at all, but it was something, and now that I had learned all the information I would get, it was time to restart my life.
