Eon watched as Caedwyn pawed at the crystals. It didn’t bother him. He was unaware of any desire he might have to try and snag them. Not that Eon was being particularly protective over them. There were plenty; if the Monarch had wanted a few for whatever reason, he wouldn’t have opposed.
“Yep, there’s plenty. Some areas are so stuffed with these guys that they brighten the caves like lanterns.” He spoke excitedly, then paused, remembering some dark sections and that weird creature that hid within. He was about to mention it when Caedwyn spoke again. ‘Do you think there's something special about these? Perhaps that is why they glow? A hidden magical energy within them?’ His attention returned to the collection of crystals and their strange glow. It appeared Caedwyn had the same thoughts about the crystals: “I was thinking about that. Perhaps they do. I wanted to inspect them a bit.” He was still hesitant to jump to conclusions too quickly.
His long ears perked as he heard Caedwyns voice again.'Would you be willing to show me where you found these? If we gathered more of them, I'm sure we could bring them back to investigate further.' The canid would reply with a nod and shake of his three tails. “I’d be glad to!” however, the thought of the creature once again invaded his headspace.
“There’s just one thing I think I should mention, though. When I was there, I was attacked by a giant centipede-like creature. I got away, but the thing was a good 6 feet long, maybe longer, and I don’t know what else might be lurking there. Parts of the cave with fewer crystals to brighten the path can get pretty dark.” He shuddered at the thought of the enormous insect he had encountered the last time. It was the one thing that made him nervous to return.
