At the Crystal Caves the three stand, "We're going in there?" gulped Grim,

"Your scared aren't you?" Player said with a smile,

"No... I'm not scared, it's just you two could die!"

"Why don't you stay out here then Grimy!" Croke suggested,

"Ha, and let you have the fun no way shorty!"

"Shorty? How..."

Enough bickering you two and lets go in!" Player shouted,

Croke and Grim looked at Player with shocked looks on their face's, "OK, OK... no need to shout Sir!"

"Come on then!" Player wakes in,

Grim and Croke shake their heads and walked in after Player.

As they walk deeper into the Crystal Caves, the crystals seams to shiver with each step like they where alive... reacting to the presents of the group passing thou, the crystals also seam to be carrying the light from one to the other from the entrance of the cave, lightening the cave like a disco at a rock concert.

"Man it's so colourful in here. I wounder how far the Green and the Red Crystals are in this place?" Croke said,

"Rather deep I'll have you know!" Grim said with pride,

"You know this how?" Croke asked,

"I've been here many times before... you'll be surprised how many rich people want a few crystals in their armor. Thou I haven't been down here of late!" Grim said with the same look on her face from before

"Why? Not many people want any more armor with crystals in?" Player Asked,

"No, in fact it's been better than ever, it's just there have been rumors of beings coming and going from here each night... they go in empty handed and come out with full bags!" Croke explained

"So that's why you asked if we're going in! Your afraid of some stupid rumors!" Laughed Croke,

Grim swings her Warhammer down on the ground next to Croke, making him jump and scream, "Wow calm down girl, lets not go nuts!"

"Mock me again and bad things will happen!" Grim screamed

"Now we know why they really call you Grim!" Player said "No offense intended!"

"Just keep on walking will you!"

As the group walked deeper, they noticed the crystals are making a slight humming sound, like as they were warning the three that there is trouble up ahead,

"They never done this before, something must be wrong!" Claimed Grim,

"Something wrong? I wounder what is going on!" Player asked,

"If there is something wrong or not we need to get the crystals for the shopkeeper." Croke said,

They walk another mile before they start to hear voice's,

"Where is those rare crystals, I need them... NOW!"

"We're not deep enough sir I've told you this many times now...!"

"That's all you have to say Primer, 'We have to go deeper!' stop making shit and start digging it then you idiot!"

The group sneaked to the corner to see a bunch of men, women and children digging away at the crystals,

"Oh my days... are they slaves? and who is those two guys?" Asked Player "And what rare crystal are they after?"

"There is a rare crystal in this area more rare them Emeralds... a pure white crystal, it is said that if you find one you'll be set for life." Grim Said "We must stop them before they destroy the whole place...!"

"And how are we going to...!" before Croke could finish, Player charges in with his sword in hand,

"Stop what your doing and let those people go!" Shouted Player,

"Stop what I'm doing you say? Let my slaves go you say? Do you know who I am boy? I am Sir Charles VII and a nobody like you wont stop me from doing what I bloody well like... no go home boy and play with your toys! Sir Charles VII said with pride,

"We'll see about that!" Grim Shouted as she walked out from the shadows,

"Oh a girl...?" Sir Charles VII Asked "What's a little girl doing in a dangerous place like this?"

"Who you calling little girl? You oversize pig!"

"Now Grim.... that's an insult to pigs... pigs don't think of themselves so highly!" Croke said with a grin,

"OH? A little baby as well?" Laughed Sir Charles VII "What are you three going to do to 'ME' Sir Charles VII the most richest person in this land?!"

Without thinking Player rushed in slamming his sword into Sir Charles VII knocking him a few feet back, "That's what We're going to do!"

Sir Charles VII straitened himself up, he pulled a device out of his inside pocket, held it up and pressed it's button. A beam came out of it hitting a crystal and bounced to several others, then the crystals fell to form a crystal monster,

"Try hitting him back... good luck! Laughed Sir Charles VII and he walked deep into the cave followed by the slaves and Primer.

"Jerk!" Screamed Grim.

Grim's Warhammer glowed with a green light from the Crystal, she then rushed the crystal monster, jumping and slamming her Warhammer down on it, shattering it to pieces, then ran ahead after them.

"Grim... wait up!" Shouted Croke and Player

The two of them ran after her and Sir Charles VII, after another two miles they reach up to Grim standing in front of three paths.

"For Pete's sake Grim, don't just run of like that!" Croke said who seams to be struggling to catch his breath, "and besides I've only got short legs!"

"Don't care, I can't have him take those crystals...!"

"Which way did he go Grim?" Player asked,

"Lost him... we must split up and take a a path each to look for him!" Grim said

"That's a bad idea Grim, who knows where the paths go!" Croke said

"We got no choose, we need to stop him and it's the only way we can be sure we can get to him. Now lets go!" Player Said,

"I'll take the right!" Grim said,

With a sigh, "I'll take the left and you have the center Sir!"

"OK, see you when I see you!" Player said

The three parted ways and took their respectable paths...
