Once home to the Crystal Cities of the Hunter clans, Craiss Caverns is now a hollow empty shell of its former glory due to a strange misfortune in the past. Man-made tunnels now lead to this place, but tales tell of some never returning. (+3 Defense, +2 Offense)

Return to Craiss Caverns

No Place Like Home {CLOSED} 1st of series

Xanthos and Jessica stood outside the cave, contemplating whether or not to go in. Jessica had her hand on his shoulder, in order to communicate with the monstrous mute.
It doesn't look much different from home. Xanthos told her staring into the darkness.
It indeed was much like The Dripping Caves back home in Xanthos' zoo pen.
The only difference was that here there was no comforting sound of dripping liquid, just silence.

As the Meji girl was anxious to find people to tag along with, she sighted a Battleheart and his owner.  
"Huh?   mgiht as well follow them if they want to explaore," she said to herself.  Walking to them, The Meji smiled and lit her staff.  "Hello, New commoners!  Are you intereested in the Craiss Caverns by any chance?  Perhaps I can assisst you with light," she said in front of the two interested in the cave.

Xanthos' face lit up and he began to wag his tail playfully getting into a bowing position.
A friend! A friend! A friend! Play with me! Play! Play! PLAY!
Jessica giggled.
"Why yes, we were interested in the caverns. Xanthos here can see in the dark very well but I unfortunately cannot and being he can't speak, well, we were quite afraid to enter the tunnel." she chuckled to herself again as she patted the Battleheart's plated shoulder.

"Well!  today's your lucky day!  I'm here to find my friend who subducked me in the center of the Caverns and I'm looking for her!  Would you like a history lesson and a few other details of the Cave?  I can light the way for you!"  The Meji was kind enought to find her friend.  [color=#FF40000]"So!  Before we go in!  what are your names?  I wanna know more about you two!"[/color] she said, smiling at the two of them.

Jessica laughed. "I must look so very rude! My name is Jessica, and this monstrous beast here is Xanthos. I own a Hydrokuhna as well, but she is at home watching over the fort. Funny thing about Xanthos is he can't speak. He's completely mute from a birth defect. Poor thing, he's so loving and playful it's quite a shame that happened to him. "
Jessica frowned and Xanthos, sensing her affliction from the hand on his shoulder and the tone of her voice, cocked his head in her direction and laid down on his belly.
What's wrong Jessica? You know it doesn't bother me very much anymore. Tell the Meji about my voice, I want to talk to her.

Xanthos looked back at the Meji and waited.
"Oh yes, Xanthos can communicate telikinectically through touch...and he wants to talk to you."

"Well call me a Safferon Tali!  I can hear what he can say in his mind.  For I am a Mind reader and a telapather as well!  I was born with a special defect as well!  I an comunicate through mind and Spirit realms!  So, Xanthos,  What is it that you want to talk to me about?  the Meji was an interesting person indeed, yet honest.  "Oh!  Befor eI forget to introduce!  My name is Hollow Heart!  I am a Hollow Meji, takened care of Toon Dark Magican Girl.  And as you can see, I'm in human form right now.  Hollow Heart was happy to help people that need light to shine, or someone to play with.  she was greatful for a Battleheart this time.

I'm so excited! Long have I waited to find someone I could talk to! I could sense something special about you when I first saw you! Oh, I'm so giddy! Do you like to play Hollow Heart? I love to play. My human-pet calls me an overgrown puppy sometimes. Xanthos grinned. I agree, what about you? Does your human-pet call you anything?

Jessica just smiled and removed her hand from Xanthos' shoulder, glad that he had met someone he wouldn't feel so handicap with.

Hollow heart was surprise.  "Wow...  Aren't you a talker!  I love to play, and Toon isn't my human pet!  she's my master!  Toon is the Owner of us!  she let's us do whatever we do to our hearts Desire!  She calls this: Free will!  We do what ever we want to do.  Besides!  Some of us have friends, and a couple of us have slaves...  But!  I'll explain when we find Sheerbow and Laffien," said Hollow Heart as she answered those Questions.

Xanthos began to growl deeply in his chest.
SLAVES! Some of you own SLAVES! What kind of people ARE YOU?
Xanthos reared up and opened his jaw wide ready to attack Hollow Heart, a roar reverberating in his skull and saliva dripping from his maw.
Jessica jumped and stood before him to protect the Meji.
"Xanthos! You stop that this minute! You understand me! Stop- WOAH!"
Jessica had been carefully picked up and placed on Xanthos' back for protection. He spread his wings wide to intimidate his opponent and roared once more into Hollow Heart's consiousness.

After the second rawr, and saliva in her hair, she yelled."WHOA WHOA!!!!  I don't have a Slave!  Only two people have slaves.  Sheerbow and Another names Ressurection.  They're the ones that have slaves.  Only those two people have slaves!  I don't have slaves!  Besides.  If you kill me, then you won't have another friend like me in a milenia!  With that she lit her staff and went back into the cave, soon to be leaving Xanthosand Jessica.  "If you don't like me, I bid you Good day," she said and turned her head to the opening of the cave.

Xanthos huffed. I wouldn't want a friend that agrees with the idea of slavery and imprisonment.
Jessica calmly slid down Xanthos' back and scowled before turning to the cave.
She likes the idea of slavery.
"Oh, won't you shut up? You scared her the poor thing."
I was trying to protect you from imprisonment.
"Xanthos, she won't 'imprison' me, calm down okay? She's our ticket to completing our quest and getting your voice back, don't scare her again, got it?"
Xanthos nodded reluctantly and softly licked Jessica's cheek. I'm sorry.
"Be good okay, Buddy?" Jessica confirmed softly stroking Xanthos' nose.
He nodded.
"Hollow Heart! Xanthos will be good I promise! Come back! We need your light! He's sorry! He won't do it again!"

Hollow Heart looked at Jessica and Xanthos.  Smiling, she walked back.  "Okay.  But promise me this, when we Find Sheerbow and Laffien, we both explain what happened to one onother.  Like Xanthos losing his voice, and Sheerbow having Laffien a slave.  Kay?"  She held out her hand for a shake of a deal.  Waiting for a deal, she decided to look at Xanthos.

Xanthos picked up a hefty paw and touched it to Hollow Heart's, unfamiliar with this 'shaking'.
I am choosing to take your side on this one. Tell me, do you understand what having a human-pet means? You acted quite surprised at the fact that Jessica is not my greater.

"Well I-I'm not that interested in having people as pets.  It sounds to dirty blood like to me," said Hollow Heart with her hears all perked up after hearing Human-pet once more.  For a Battleheart, he seems to god to be true!  Having a pet as a master and a human as a pet?  Ridiculous!  She said that to herself in thought, blocking telepathy from people that are near her.

Xanthos began to laugh.
PEOPLE? As PETS?
He laughed, and laughed, and laughed and rolled on his belly and laughed some more. Finally he caught his breath and grinned.
I’m not Jessica’s superior, we are but equals, human-pet is just a term I use that makes me feel more like we are on the same level. We are of about the same age and have lived together ever since I can remember, why would I put myself in authority, or she over me, when we are of the same soul and age? Neither of us is greater than the other Hollow Heart.
