My Precious Gem (Morgan123 X ReaperDouble0)

"Um... Right...." A young woman muttered, quietly walking around the lush fields of open farm land while the sun hung brightly in the sky. A look of annoyance and concentration was left on her face. She looked around, raising a brow while she continued to hold a large but slightly torn piece of paper. After a moment she merely stood by a tree. There, she lowered the paper, revealing two white furry ears which twitched now and then. Behind her, was a soft, slightly curled tail. Little did anyone know that she was one of many wolf-hybrids.

Which came in handy with exploring and adventuring! It came in handy since she was aspiring to be a world famous explorer who saved her kingdom! But that would only happen if she actually found what ever the hell she was looking for...

Quietly she lifted her hand and scratched her head. "... Hmph..." With a small pout, Alisa lifted her head once more. As she looked around, her eyes laid down towards the large mountains merely a field away. Then she looked at her paper before looking up again. "Uh huh!" With a look of victory, she rolled up the paper and started to jog to the mountain side. As she ran, her heart began to pound, her tail wagging in such delight. The wolf knew it- she was on to something!

Eventually, she came a large opening and began to make her way inside without a single bit of worry. There wasn't any danger, it was just a little dark and damp. If there was anything dangerous then she would of noticed- right?

Alisa eventually came to narrow caves and smaller walk ways. She dug into her bag and pulled out a small piece of wood and set a light to it. There, she began to explore, but much more carefully. "Hmm... This has to lead somewhere..." The woman muttered, raising a brow, ears laying back against her head while her tail curled around her thigh.

((I just hope we didn't pick the same picture .-. I can't see yours because the pic broke.))


The tunnel felt cold and wet. Just like the rest of the tomb to be more exact. It was located at the outskirts of a desert, so it could be considered as strange. The reason was simple. There was a water-source somewhere in the center of the tomb. The ones that built the tomb hundreds of years ago used to be nomads. When they found the water-source, they had even built a shrine on it. Now, it was just some forgotten cave no-one cared about. No-one even knew about the grand prize hiding inside.

The gem was shining so bright that it was lighting up the entire area where the currently overgrown shrine was. Rays of light came from the sun and hit the gem, making it spread it's red light out into the room. The room itself had nice sandstone tiles, all though most of them was crushed, and some really old wall-blankets that were overgrown by vines. Yet, inside the gem, there was one thing. One unlucky person, that had been trapped inside the gem for decades. Her name was Lyra. With no memories of why she had been placed inside the gem, or how for that sake, she had ended up there. Now, she was laying curled up, unable to move because of the ruby pressing towards her. Yet, she could feel someone being close. Someone... Yet, it was too far away to make mental contact with the person. Not yet, just a little bit closer now...

(All fixed ^^)

Deeper and deeper she slipped into the cave, her feet stepping carefully on rocks, dirt and... sand? A look of confusion appeared on the young woman's face, her ears flapping back and fourth on her head while her nosed twitched. Something smelt strange- there was earth but there was also sand? Oh! The deserts! There deserts are behind the mountain! So there must be another entrance- but... if there's another entrance then someone might of found the prize before me! I hope not! I've worked so hard- perhaps I should move a little faster." With torch in hand, the young woman took off through the caves like there was no tomorrow! She shuffled and moved, darting through the pathways until-!

There, around a large corner, she saw the gentle red glow. Lyra raised her ears as a small feeling of delight gathered in her chest. Had she finally found something?! With a smirk, she continued to run towards it, a feeling of excitement growing and growing the closer she got to the entrance.

And there she saw it... It was beautiful. It was like a whole new world! Even if it was a little over grown but the shrine seemed like it was built by some lost people. The woman placed the torch onto the wall while she continued to look back to the shrine, trying to find where that glow was coming from. But this was it- this was actually it! Lyra was enjoying every moment. With a small smile, she began to approach the steps, her heart beating just that little bit faster as she got closer and closer before-

".... So beautiful...." She muttered quietly as she stared at the large and wonderful ruby. Happiness just filled her to the brim. This was it! Her big discovery and she found it all by herself! Though it was pretty big- it looked as though she was going to need some help getting it out. Maybe about eight to ten people? That wouldn't be too hard, she had back up from the kingdom. The wolf slowly approached the gem. With a shaky hand, she reached out and touched it, feeling a somewhat odd warmth.

As she peered closer, she finally noticed- a girl! There was a girl in the ruby! Lyra gasped and leaned back, her ears perked up and her tail stood on end. Was that someone inside?! A real person?! Lyra gasped and leaned forward, pressing her ear against the gem as though trying to hear something... Oh lord... was that a heartbeat as well?! "Hello?! Hello- can you hear me?!" She shouted, moving back and fourth around the ruby as though trying to find a way to get inside- but that wouldn't help, she would have to get help.
