An ordinary day in the krystalline quarry. He was standing on the wooden construction raised against the wall he and his comrades cut into the mountain made of the precious mineral. Grab his tools, and go. Cut into the "stone". The bigger pieces he could cut and carry away to the cart the better, but even the krystalline gravel was worth hundreds of niks per bucket. And what did he see from this price? One damn golden nik per day for their whole family. Sure, he heard many people would say he earns a lot. His cousin was a shoemaker in Aiekara. Not one of that fancy kind, the one that made shoes for common people. 10 silver niks per pair, he said. So he would need to make six pairs of shoes like that to earn as much as him... hmmm... but then again, maybe- Wait, what was that? Was he really getting crazy, or... he rubbed both of his eyes. "Hey, guys... I have a hand in the stone here!" A laugh of the other miners. This guy had to be crazy. Seriously. Hand in the stone? Really? "I´m not kidding! There is a hand, and maybe-" "Yea, yea. Too much sun. Or booze, Gray!" "Alright... I will show you..." he started to hit the stone with pickaxe. He would cut to it, and once more was visible, show it to them. He would. If a high tone wouldn´t suddenly come out of it. The whole wooden construction, together with the wall of krystalline, vibrated. "What the HELL was that!!" "I... I don´t-" he watched the piece of krystalline infront of him cracking. It was clearly coming from the- It threw them all on the ground and torn everything down. The shockwave sent everything down. A sound of shattered krystalline. "HOW DARE YOU!!" a voice thundered in the quarry. It was coming from the cloud of dust. A powerful, frightening voice, neither male nor female. "I... I... didn´t..." "FOR HUNDREDS OF YEARS, NOBODY TOUCHED THIS PLACE! NOBODY DARED TO DIG AND DESTROY IT WITH THEIR MORTAL HANDS! NOBODY, EVER..." now, the creature was visible. They couldn´t tell what it was. It was floating in the air. It looked human, perhaps a young... woman with long dark blue hair, with light blue skin. Her eyes were glowing bright yellow... and she didn´t definetly seem much friendly. "...THIS PLACE BELONGS TO THE GODS, AND THE GODS ALONE! WHOEVER WOULD VIOLATE IT, SHALL-" That was about it for him. He turn around and ran, ran as fast as he could. He could hear his companions screaming in pain. Her voice echoed and resonated in all the pieces of krystalline around them. She let out a long, horribly high scream, that was tearing his ears apart. "...DIE!!" he heard behind him as he ran towards New Lush. |
