"So we are going to a cave?" Bastille looked to her father and Vurdem. She did not seem impressed by the idea, after seeing multiple caves she was not expecting much and was not all too excited to see the cave.
"Yes, but this is not just any cave." Vurdem grinned. He seemed excited to be sharing something with the father and daughter pair, hoping to turn it into a fun adventure for the trio. He trotted along with a skip in his step.
"I hope this is actually as cool as you claim it is Vurdem." Locarian lifted a brow and still seemed skeptical of the other Felvarg's claims.
"You've never been there daddy?" Bastille seemed stunned by the thought and looked at her father in awe. A place her father didn't know about, now that seemed a little more interesting then it had before.
"I have not Little Bee. This was all Vurdem's idea." Locarian replied, flicking his head to the side to emphasize it was all Vurdem's idea. Bastille looked from her brute of a father to the much smaller male, though he was still taller then herself.
"Really?" She lifted a brow and was wondering if it was really as interesting as he claimed and as his actions of puffing out his chest a little seemed to indicate.
"Of course! I thought this would make a perfect adventure!" Vurdem received an eye roll from the little puppy. They left the forest paths behind to tread a path less traveled so they would say. The forest gave way to a rocky landscape, and the mountain side approached quickly. They followed along next to a large stone wall leading into a canyon between two mountain faces. They climbed higher up the hill of boulders and ancient stones and eventually Locarian picked up his daughter and carried her up the steep slopes. Just as the canyon started to widen they reached the opening of a large cave.
"We are here!" Vurdem looked at the cave entrance proudly, though there was nothing too impressive about the cave. The inside was just plain stone and the father-daughter pair seemed quite confused by the sight as Locarian placed Bastille on the ground at the lip of the cave.
"Umm... Vurdem, you promised something a little better then this." Locarian commented, staring at the cave.
"It's a cave. A very boring cave." Bastille chimed up, staring in disappointment at the hole in the mountain.
"This is just the entrance of the cave." Vurdem replied. He seemed to have a sneaky grin plastered to his face. He chuckled as they stared at him blankly and he trotted into the cave. "I'll show you!" He called behind him, motioning for the two to follow him deeper into the belly of the mountain. Bastille sighed and jumped down the little slope into the cave after Vurdem. Locarian followed right behind her, watching his daughter carefully as she descended deeper into the cave with the smaller male. The traveled through winding tunnels and light from the entrance vanished far behind them. Locarian fell behind a little, causing Vurdem and Bastille to vanish from his sight around the next corner. He figured his daughter would be safe with Vudem.
"Ah!" He heard her scream and bolted in the direction he saw them vanish, sliding to a halt before he could run over Bastille who was bouncing around excitedly in the tunnel. "Look daddy! The cave it full of crystals!" Quartz like crystals stuck out from the walls and decorated the cave beautifully.
"Hey, I wouldn't let anything happen to her Locarian." Vurdem smirked at the brute who sighed in relief after seeing it was a scream of joy that he had heard, not terror.
"Can never be too careful." Locarian replied, following his daughter deeper in. The cave widened and the roof above them seemed to vanish as they reached a cavern. The crystals had grown to immense sizes, some reaching from one side of the massive cavern to the other. Some of the chunks sitting on the ground around them were even larger then Locarian.
"Told you it was cool." Vurdem grinned and sat down once he found a spot not overrun by the crystal that jutted out from every direction. Bastille was running around in excitement, climbing the crystals and creeping across from one crystal to the next.
"Careful Little Bee! And don't wander too far." Locarian called over to her. He received a little nod, but Bastille was still staring wide-eyed at the crystals and grinning from ear to ear. "I will admit, this is pretty cool." Locarian didn't look at Vurdem who he knew had a huge smirk on his face.
"And you two doubted me." He chuckled. "We should collect some while we are here. Sure Bastille would love to bring a piece or two home with her as a souvenir." Vurdem suggested.
"Can we daddy?!' Bastilel bolted up to them as she heard Vurdem's idea. She grabbed hold of her father's front leg and clung to it. "Please daddy?" she begged, looking up at him with big adorable puppy eyes, trying to look as cute as possible so he would give in to her pleas.
"Sure, find some nice crystals and we'll see about bringing some of them back home. Nothing too big!" Locarian yelled after her as she leaped over a large crystal to hunt for the perfect sparkly stones to bring home with her. They were eventually faced with a decent sized pile of crystals, searching through and eliminating them one by one until there were only three left, the best of the bunch.
"These ones!" Bastille chimed, grinning at her father.
"Lovely choices Basset! I could not have picked better myself." Vurdem complimented her. They picked up their prizes and exited the cave, Locarian carrying his daughter back down the sleep slope with Vurdem carrying two of the stones and Bastille carrying the third. They reached the forest and he placed them down. She trotted happily along in front of them with her prize all the way back home.
