AN: Welcome back to Chapter 4 of The Enti Enterprise! When we left off I found a stranded airship pilot named Ronan outside my home. He then agreed to get hired by me to work at Enti Enterprise. And now, we continue! (Man, I sound like a TV show host.)

Chapter 4: The Quarry Incident
I didn't get much sleep that night because I kept on hearing thumping and whirring outside the shack which Ronan had put his bed in. I had to make more room for Ronan to put his bed down, but it was a small price to pay for an extra worker. I climbed out of bed and reached for a mug of coffee in my bed side chest and took a small sip. I then noticed that Ronan wasn't in his bed or the shack. I assumed he was at the factory so went out of bed with my coffee and headed outside. It was a good thing I chose to live in the desert because it's never cold in the morning. I hurried over to the factory and immediately regretted it. The thumping sound was gradually louder there, along with series of rattling sounds. After looking around the factory floors, I figured out that the sounds were coming from the basement me and Ronan made. And as I climbed down the ladders, I could hear a series of swears down there.
"Ronan?" I yell. "You down here?" There was the sound of gravel falling and more curses. After a while, a voice said, "Yeah, I'm here." When I was done climbing the ladders down to the large basement, I was shocked. There was a huge gaping hole at the bottom. And it was sorrounded by an all too familiar orange colored bar system. A quarry. I saw Ronan hopping on the orange bars, trying to get rid of all the bats and gravel around the place. "I see you've started a quarry already!" I yell over to him. He looks around until he finds me. "Yep." he answered. I jump onto one of the bars and walk over to him. "How did you get the diamonds for it?" I asked. "I had some leftover from my crash." he responded. Really? He must've had quite a load... "And before you ask, I only had a few." he continued. Well, that's heart breaking. "How much do you have left?" I ask. "About two." he answers. I smile. "Perfect!" I yell. I ask for one of the diamonds and he hands it over. I then run to the house to work on something.
Ronan's POV
I had no idea what Enti was going to do with that diamond, but I wasn't one to ruin his fun. I start going back to digging out the gravel and sand near the quarry, because it would be disastrous if it all fell into the giant hole. The quarry would have to do work that's completely useless, just digging out a place it already did. After realizing that I needed an actual shovel for once, I get off the orange bars and head up the factory to the crafting table. As I get there, I argue whether or not to make a diamond shovel. I finally decide not to make one. It's just a big waste. I instead make a cobblestone shovel and start over my work.
TIME TRANSITION
After 3 hours of clearing out gravel and sand, I step back to admire my work. Unfortunately, there was nothing to step back on. I fell all the way down in the gaping hole of darkness of the quarry. My last thought was, "Oh crud."
Enti's POV
"Hey Ronan," I say coming down the ladders. "I just crafted a-" Before I could finish my sentence, I see Ronan fall all the way down the quarry. I run over to the hole and look down. I hear a faint thud and a pain crack at the bottom. "Oh no..." I mutter.
AN: Whazzup?! You like chapter?! I kid, of course you loved the chapter. By the way, next chapter, instead of one OC, I'll introduce TWO OCs to make it up for you guys! It will also have a POV change. It will go to the point of view of Rythian's apprentices! I hope you guys enjoy! See ya!
