Just an odd story I came up with a little bit ago. A little supernatural, a little adventure and some romance. I hope you all enjoy Of Diamonds and Blue Eyes!
The caves outside a busy city was home to a civilization that hadn't been there long, only the past couple hundred years. The people of it were pale and would die if they came in contact with the sun. The gems in the cave, precious and very rare, are connected to the life forces of the inhabitants.
If too many of the gems are taken out then the inhabitants if the cave go into a wild rage and kill anything in sight. Now, a group of explorers has stumbled upon the cave.
JOURNAL ENTRIES
MIKE- Just another day in paradise I guess. Nothing fun ever happens in these stupid caves, and my friends aren't being much of a help either. All they wanna do is look around the same place we looked last week and it wasn't even fun the first time. Micky keeps insisting he saw something there he could use in one of his inventions but... I really have just stopped caring. I got left in the mine as a baby, nothing but a hat with me. I never knew my mom and dad and now I want to go looking and see the world. Too bad I'll die the second I go outside. Fun stuff this world is.
CASSIE- Well we finally did it. My little exploration group has finally found something worth checking out. From what I heard from them (I was busy with a waterfall and a lizard) the cave seems to shimmer, so they suspect gems. Maybe I could finally settle down if we struck rich. I had been traveling since my teens, maybe some time to live would be nice. Darren, our self appointed second in command (basically mister stuck up rich boy whose parents funded me) seemed especially excited about the prospect of getting richer. I swear he's a bubble head. With any luck he'll pop some day.
MICKY- I don't know why Mike's been so moody lately, it seems everything gets him down! I hope some of my new creations will help take his mind off of things, I just want my friend back. Peter and Davy have been awful quiet lately, I really hope they aren't planning anything insane without me! Those jerks... Anyway I just found out that today I turned twenty four! No one tells us who keeps track but once every year we get a day to relax and not have to work. It's really nice to just goof of instead of goofing off on the job.
MARLOW- That cave we found was nice... Although it would've been nicer of Darren hadn't been talking about mining the whole thing out and taking away every piece of it. I'd like to pop that guy in the mouth but Cass won't let me. Something about money problems. Outside the cave the grass was off though. I don't think anyone else noticed, I was the only one barefoot! It was odd, like the grass was swollen, and it was a pale blue green unlike the rest of the lush green grass around. I'd have to investigate further.
