Chapter 6: The Cave
Garret, now a Quilava, stoked the fire in the cave, along with Emolga, who was giving the fire more air. Once the fire was going strong, Emolga sat down beside Garret. Their everyday lifestyle was to scavenge food, but today, it was cold and snowing, and their minds were set on keeping warm. Winter was starting, and they needed a better plan. It was at this time that Garret decided to show his gem to Emolga. It was still warm, and seemed to be perpetually so. Upon close examination, Emolga found a small inscription.
"It says something like this... One who brings this gem to Spear Pillar will have one question answered. One question, and no more." "Garret, we can find out how you got here, or how we could get you back! Hey, wait... There's a second inscription, a smaller one. It says "Place this into the opening in the cave." I wonder if it means this cave? There is a small opening in the back."
Garret then took his gem back and fitted it into the slot at the back. An opening suddenly appeared, and grew wider and taller. The cave seemed to be lit by some glowing crystals. Garret's gem popped back into Garret's hand and Garret put it away.
"Let's explore this cave!" exclaimed Garret.
"Yeah!"
And so they set off into the bowels (heh heh) of the Earth.
