The City of Gems

Good heavens I just had the most intense nap of my life. Once my brain recovers, I'll throw up a post.

After the Asteroid-Closed

Grayson awoke from his groggy nap to the sounds of a voice echoing through the bunker. His constant Astral phasing had apparently come at the high price of him being utterly exhausted in every form. He hoped that would fade in time though.

Grayson vaguely registered the concerned tone of the voice, however his drowsiness pushed it to the back of his mind.

The man slowly stood and pulled on a shirt, looking around his room with bleary eyes as he moved forward and grabbed a water bottle, taking a deep swig before putting it back down. The water tasted dusty and thick, almost like it had been out uncovered for weeks. After gargling some of it, the taste faded, which Grayson hoped was his mouth properly working and not just him getting used to bad water.

Excited voices echoed from outside of his room, and a brief sense of curiosity arose. As he searched for his pants, he pondered what could possibly be happening to draw that much attention. Maybe they were heading to dinner, or perhaps one of the more powerful members of the bunker was showing off their powers.

Grayson finally located his clothes, bending over to grab them out from under his bed. Just as he stood up, a scream rang through the halls, instantly spurring him into action.

Grayson burst out of his room to see a stream of power heading towards the main entrance. Small curls of smoke licked the ceilings, hinting at the first scene near the doors.

The Astral projector made his way with the last couple of stragglers through the halls. "What the hell is going on?"

The girl, probably no older than eighteen, glanced over her shoulder at Grayson as she kept jogging. "Big fire at the doors! We gotta get out!"

Grayson's stomach turned a little at the though of more ashe and fiery destruction. He picked up his pace, sprinting with the other two people until they reached the doors. The fire had already flared up close to the door, however there was still an escape path.

"Everyone, get out!" Grayson motioned for the girl and her companion to leave first, helping guide them away from the fire. He soon followed suit, making his way well away from the flames.

Sounds of commotion came from over a ridge near Grayson, however he ignored it as his body hit the ground, his Astral form diving into the earth until it re-emerged inside then bunker.

He immediately started directing people towards the doors. They were startled to see a purple ghost phasing through the walls, however they took his commands without question.

Finally, Grayson's Astral form reached the doors to see two people, one of them perhaps named Kai, arguing at the door. The girl held a plant, and she seemed reluctant to risk it.

"Hey, guys!" Gray shouted, floating behind them. "You gotta get out of here before the flames block the exit! Let's move it!"

Currently drowning under the tidal wave of homework that decided it would grace me with its presence. Everything is due tomorrow morning, so at absolute maximum I'll have a post up by tomorrow night. Excited to see this thing getting started!

Also, @Akayaofthemoon, I'm here! Don't kick me!

@Jangel13 Basically I didn't want to but in on anyone's current activities so Skubli is just exploring the cave some more currently. Sorry I didn't make that clear, I made an edit to clarify that.

Skubli's night was peaceful. After resting for most of the day, Skubli was vitalized while his siblings slept. He peacefully sat in his alcove, playing around with the small chunks of iron ore, contemplating them with great care. They were harder than anything he had encountered before, which wasn't saying much, however his sharp claws were unable to do more than scratch them, which thoroughly intrigued and disgruntled him.

Skubli took pride in the sharpness of his talons, proud that they could excavate the stone when his siblings struggled to do the same. It gave him an edge over them that he had previously lacked. It wasn't that Skubli was trying to become superior to the other goblins; he merely felt like he was less of a Goblin than the rest. They had crazy strength, speed, and dexterity, while he was merely small and quiet.

As Skubli's mind trailed off, so did his consciousness, leaving him to the darkness of his dreams.

Many images appeared, most of them shadowy and indistinct. The beautiful fish once again reentered this tiny Goblin's dreamworld, leading him deeper into the black waters. He was once again tempted to follow them, but the fear of the water held him captive on shore. As their light faded, so did all conscious thought, and Skubli slept well into the next day.

When he came to, he heard a vague mention of Kishi from Grandpa, however his voice echoed off of many rocks from a fair distance away and not all could be heard.

Skubli drowsily woke himself up and headed out into the cave, ready to greet the new day.

Skubli resumed his exploration of the cave, eager to find any other crevices he could possibly locate. The idea of exploring was thrilling to Skubli, and for a brief moment, the thought of venturing out of the cave to investigate the outside world crossed the runt's mind, however he quickly pushed it aside. Without a companion, he would most certainly fall prey to the first beast he encountered.

After a good deal of searching the cave, Skubli wandered over to the mouth of the cavern, dejected that he hadn't discovered anything else of interest.

The breeze that filtered into the room drew Skubli's attention, and he briefly considered venturing out alone. He sat there for quite some time, pondering if he should leave the cave alone.

Skubli quietly followed brother Lomen as he moved towards a potential new source of iron. While the discovery of iron outside of his alcove meant that he no longer had all of it to himself, Skubli was satisfied that his siblings had no other reason to go prying into his alcove.

Brother Lomen's progress was slow, chipping away bit by bit of the stone without much progress. Skubli watched quietly for a short while before he silently crept forward, excavating the stone just to the right of Lomen's chest. The runt's claws dug at a much greater speed, quickly burrowing into the stone until they clanged against the hardened iron ore.

Skubli shambled a few feet away and repeated the process, this time locating iron with much less effort. After a few minutes of this process, he stepped back and looked warily at brother Lomen, curious as to how he would react to Skubli locating many different deposits for him.
