Vol. 1 Chapter 13 - The Cavern

Start from the beginning
                                    

"And risk your life, if there are any hostile subterranean organisms inhabiting at that depth?" said, which made her pause, and look down into the opening.

"I don't want my personnel to get harmed again, after just day. Don't worry, after seeing what I've Done back at Altern town, do you doubt that I would come back in one piece?"

"I... I don't doubt, I'm just trying to make sure."

"Make sure of what?" I asked in interest, however I blurted it out even before I could realize that I shouldn't just peak into another's business.

She paused before seemingly snapping back into reality, and turning away.

"Nothing much, Just... Don't think about it." She said, with a stubborn tone, and whispered slightly.

I walked first, and luckily I remembered the acidity of the liquid I used, and converted the Molecular pattern remains into air. I reached the end of the newly created opening with a 1911 Pistol in my left hand, to gaze upon an awe-inspiring sight in-front of me.

"Esther." I said, with my echo traversing up the tunnel and into the ears of the ones that I had remain on the surface.

"Yes?" Her echoing voice traversed back.

"How rare are Magucite ores, and how much usually form in a single cache? Cache is like a geode or a group of specific ores." I asked still observing my surroundings with disbelief, an incredibly large number of luminescent crystal-like Clusters.

"They are very rare in the nomadic regions, you have to be very lucky to find one, and as for how much is usually formed together It would almost always be between 5 to 10 clusters."

I paused as I scanned my surroundings for any organic life, that were to be hostile.

"Kara please inform everyone to head down here, please. Esther, I believe you will be frightened at this sight."

—~~—

Esther's eyes were bright, and a noticed a bit of drooling from her lips, before she used a napkin to wipe it off.
Several of my personnel were inspecting areas of the large and vast chamber, completely littered with Magucite ores, Our detection and electrical equipment were no longer functioning due to the amount of disturbance, thus we were reduced to communicate verbally.

"Esther, You were about to say-?"

"Ah, Yes..." She said, she seems to more calmer than before. She might be a bit more adapted to unprecedented surprises by this point.

"I would say, that Force ores are rarely found in this much numbers, I'am perplexed actually."

She doesn't seem perplexed at all, currently she seems to be stoically interested, her face doesn't show much emotion, but there is the hint of confusion and interest. She used to be much more emotive before, was the event at Altern town scarring?

Oh why am I even asking myself that, I was literally in the midst... No actually... I was the centre of mass destruction. That guilt won't go away sooner or later.

Esther eventually walks forward through the chamber, me and Kara follow suite. She abruptly stops at the other end of the chamber where a large opening is, she stopped after seeing the vastness of the connecting chamber or an enormous Digged-Out area.

"H- a..." Esther had difficulty at speaking, That is relatable. Because this connecting chamber to the entrance was enormous, there was this nearly steep Incline thepat leads down to the semi-flattened bottom of the chamber, the Large cavernous chamber from my point of view visually appears to be 200 meters in width, 300 in length, and 30-50 meters in height, the roof of the cavern was littered with Bright sky-blue stones which provide a comfortable but non-surface Light.
