Fragile..?

:Ch37: (^///^)

I then saw the dim light up above an we stopped.

"Watch." Masky said softly

His hand got off my shoulder and I waited. The dim light above was a single little light that looked like what a form of someones dripping but was frozen.

A little stone was then thrown and sounded like it hit something as something on the wall shook. More frozen droplets started glowing an some almost reached the ground.

The walls were shaking and I didn't move. I just watched like masky had said.

Some sort of small rock creature started crawling off the walls and climbed the glowing droplets. But the glow an formation of them was beautiful.

It was so cool and had so much mystery an beauty to it.

"Wow..!" I whispered softly

Masky chuckled softly besides me an by the corner of my eye I could see him look at the things.

The little creatures were doing something to the droplet things and I wondered what it was.

"Wait here." Masky said

He left as I stayed mesmerized by this strange and wondrous light.

"Uh huh...yeah..okay." I replied a little late and mesmerized

I heard him chuckle as it echoed a bit. I then looked around an saw two other tunnels or caves. I didn't dare go explore them as my guard was put up.

Masky grunted and I looked around an saw he was on the ground near one of the glowing things.

He ran over an was doing something as it glowed in his hands. Once he was in front of me he passed it to me an chuckled a bit.

It was a little glow thing on a string. It was still glowing and still had its droplet shape.

"Is it safe-"

"Yeah, of course it is! I wouldn't do something that would hurt you or not be safe." He said

He picked it up an put it over my head. He let it drop against my chest and it clicked with my other necklace. He moved my hair to let it be against my neck.

He picked up the little droplet an seemed to have admired them. I smiled a bit at him an looked at the thing that, now up close, looks like a Crystal.

I picked up my hands an masky let me hold it as he put it in my hands. I looked at it and loved it little glow.

"C'mon." Masky said," we're not done."

I looked at him an he grabbed my hand an started heading to one of the tunnels. I let the Crystal rest against my chest as he guided me an soon the sun revealed itself from some vines.

I was blinded as we headed out. I covered my eyes as we got out an then stopped. I took my hand away and let my sight adjust to the bright light.

I then gasped lightly at the beautiful scenery. There was a huge lake with a waterfall, the whole place was surrounded by walls of rock, vines most or behind tall trees.

There was beautiful green grass with strange flowers,  some leaves in the bushes were huge too! Bigger than me an masky really.

The pod's lily pads were also as big and small as a human or a frog.

"This....wow this-..This is beautiful!" I said amazed

He let go of my hand an let me walk forward to the lake. I looked at the water and it was Crystal clear, I could see the bottom so clearly.

There was plants at the bottom and it looked like there was strange water creatures too.

I smiled and giggled a bit as the strange creatures came up to look at me. I then looked up at the waterfall and let myself sit down.

My eyes slowly closed and the sounds came to my head. The falling water hitting into the lake, the swish splash of the creatures in the water, the leaves gently rustling or hitting a tree-

Everything felt so much better to listen to but was just as great to see it.

"So." Masky said," whats going through your head, brainy?"

I started rambling. I went on a tangent of all the sounds, the beautiful plants and things I've seen- I just said what I felt and experienced.

I couldn't help it, it just came out...but he listened. He listened to me say all these dumb things and explain the scenery with details.

He just listened.

I looked at him as I slowly stopped rambling and scoffed a bit.

"And you knew all this already." I scoffed with a smile," you knew it would have a positive affect on me."

He stared at me for a bit an then shrugged as he looked to the side.

"Well, no not exactly-"

"Liar!" I teased as he chuckled

He shook his head a bit an looked at me.

"Yeah." He said," I did know this would help you or make you feel better."

I smiled at him and looked around. Everything from before came to mind an I continued to hold my smile.

"Yeah..." I said softly

I tried to focus back on whats here with me and was able to keep my smile.

"Hey." Masky said," I'm really not one for emotions or dealing with stuff but..."

I glanced at him an he sort of scooted closer.

"I can...I can try at least?" He said unsure," or if you just want a good cry then I'm here to listen."

I turned my head to him an thought about that for a moment.

'A good cry, huh..?'
