Caedwyn nodded as Eon answered his questions. But his interest was piqued by Eon's last statement. A centipede creature? His eyes moved away from the stones over to Eon, his gaze darting around curiously looking for signs of injury. "Were you injured?" he asked, a tone of concern in his voice. "We can find a healer if you need tending... actually, Enya has healing. I'm sure we could summon her." But Eon didn't seem to be in too dire of shape. Eon had flown over here, so at least Eon's wings were working fine... and Caedwyn didn't see anything too obvious - though perhaps he had overlooked something. "But the centipede is another matter entirely. Someone else could just as easily go stumbling in and not be as lucky as you," Caedwyn said, leaning his haunches back until he came to a more relaxed sitting position. "You're strong, but if someone lesser wandered in... they might find themselves face to face with Tsillah sooner than they expected. Perhaps..." his initial tone of concern faded as his voice trailed off for a moment in thought. "... perhaps this wasn't an accident that you came across such a beast hidden in the depths. Maybe Tsillah has given us a challenge?" His words began to hold the slightest hint of excitement, veiled behind cool, collected tones. His rose up again, using his paw to quickly push the stones back into Eon's bag as he spoke. "Do you think the two of us could face the beast? I think we should go back and see what other treasures might be hidden in those dark caves of yours." He looked to Eon, awaiting Eon's judgement of the situation and withheld his excitement at the idea of not only facing off against such a challenging creature but also at finding some mysterious rare treasure that he was sure Tsillah had put in the cave as a reward for them. --- Speech. |
Midnight Mountains
A small mountain range known for its black colored rocks and mineral ore deposits. Many mining caves have been dug through the mountain but not all of these are safe. Bears and mountain lions guard the hills and many unsafe tunnels collapse without warning.
