[QUOTE="talien, post: 2693437, member: 3285"] [b]All That Glitters - Part 5a: The Hidden Cave[/b] “So now that we’re here,” said Osric, taking in the surrounding countryside, “where is the serpent?” One scaly claw, dripping seaweed and brine, struggled over the edge of the cliff. Calactyte was the last to reach the top of the precipice. “He doesn’t count,” said Ilmarė. “Dig in this time Cal, the last two times you tore off half the cliff with you.” Calactyte didn’t spare her a glance as the big lizard heaved himself up onto what remained of the dirt outcropping. He slumped over and caught his breath. “Well, I think we found the serpent,” said Sebastian, staring up at a tree that loomed over them. The jungle thinned somewhat, but even at the edge of the precipice, an ancient tree grew. It leaned out over the ocean and curved into an “S” shape. Cal’s large snout turned to face them as he rolled over. “I know where the whale is.” “If you sing that song again,” said Ilmarė, “I will kick you off this cliff.” Calactyte didn’t open his eyes. “At the base of the cliffs,” he panted, “water arcs through holes. Like a whale.” “Like a whale, hmmm,” said Sebastian, stroking his chin. “That means there are underwater tunnels here. There should be a cave entrance nearby.” “Closer than that,” said Bijoux. She pawed at the base of the strangely shaped tree and removed some foliage. Beldin took his axe off his back. “Finally, we’re going into my kind of terrain.” Then he ducked into the cave opening. Cal craned his neck to look down at the cliff. “Well, it’s got to be better than the ocean.” [/QUOTE]
