31|| The Mysterious Cave

"Really?" Grian was shocked at the revelation like everyone, unequipping his polearm.

"Must be something important to have it on mob protection," Iskall spoke as he eyed the gem pillars.

"Yeah, put down torches." Mumbo suggested making everyone respond with little 'yeahs' and hums. After that, everyone has scattered around the area, trying to find something mysterious or suspicious to investigate by the group.

But all they could see are glowing crystals and stalagmites erected from the ground. At this point, Fundy has started collecting some crystals from every colour he's stumbled upon during the wide search, maybe Niki will appreciate them, they look magical.

"I can't believe this Minecraft had the cave update before us in the real world ..." Grian spoke up as he marvelled at the sight, drinking it all in. This realm might be a pain in his ass but he also appreciates the amazing views he was able to witness and treasure for the rest of his life.

But after spending half an hour, everyone has decided to give up. That is until Sapnap's voice ricocheted in the space.

"Guys! Over here!" His voice echoed in the cave that left them confused. But after their eyes found Fundy's bright orange coat shimmering in the dim, they were able to follow him to the raven-haired who stood at the foot of a narrow entrance that gradually grew taller in size as it approached the rock island floating mid-air.

They were all stuck in a daze as they gazed at the pillars with the chains that either connected every upright stone or dangling down with the torn white cloth that decorated the steel, gently swaying with the cold wind.

"Holy shit ..." Fundy spoke as he mindlessly approached the path until Iskall placed a hand on his shoulder, snapping him out of his curious trance.

"Don't go off alone again, you know what happened last time." The swede reminds him and Fundy nodded, not even sparing him a single glance, fluffy ears falling dejectedly with eyes trained on the mysterious location.

"Should we call Philza?" Mumbo asks the group, casting his eyes to the others who are still mesmerized by the sight of the island.

"Sure, do it quickly."

--------------

When Mumbo suggested calling Phil, he didn't know he was about to bring more people than expected. Niki and Puffy came along with Tubbo, Techno and George. Mumbo told them that he had no other choice but to let them come because they all heard about it in the meeting room and piqued their interests.

With a tougher person by their side, they ganged up on Techno, telling him to go up first which launched them into an argument about who should go first. Not wanting to waste time although the unfair debate entertains him, Phil has decided to fly towards the entrance of the ruined arena-like structure built on the island, inspecting the fallen pillars and the huge quartz chips on the floor at the bottom of the older but still standing pillars.

After receiving the older male's thumbs-up, they all started their adventure up the steep and narrow pathway up.

Niki, being the magical witch she is, spawned her broom in and took Puffy with her, arriving at the peak in record speed. Sapnap with his fire, blasted himself to the top, landing perfectly beside the two women still riding the floating broom.

Phil wanted to wait for everyone to arrive but there was an odd pull that was magnetizing his gaze towards another island, a smaller one with a circular temple structure, pillars of dirty quartz blocks somehow taking away all of his attention. So while everyone gassed up the terrified others, who kept staring at the pointy stalagmites that littered the great fall on each side, Phil continued cautiously to the worn bridge that connects it, pulling out his sword before spreading his wings wide, leaping off of the ground to approach the twin-island.
