Snippet #2194330

Tinkerton yawned as he woke up in the unfamiliar place. "Where am I?" he muttered to himself not really expecting an answer. He stretched an arm to the side of him and ran his fingers across the hard surface. He pushed himself up in surprise as he felt a cold cave floor beneath his fingers. What the heck am i doing in a cave He thought scrunching up his face as he considered the possibilities. Maybe he was back with his flock under Getsus Paradise. No it was much too dark unless the entire flock had decided to walk today. The next thought that he'd been captured eliminated every thought of sleep. He quickly gathered himself from the ground and took a clear look around himself. He looked like he was hidden in the space between a few foot high boulders and the cave wall. He breathed a sigh of relief at knowing Getsus hadn't captured him. Yet he told himself to remind himself he couldn't be too cocky.
Stretching his wings before jumping into the air he got a closer look at the rest of the cave. The overall cave was much better than his hiding place. The walls of the cave appeared to be finely polished stone engraved with various symbols. Tink couldn't recognize any of the symbols himself but he could feel every one radiating magical energy. Towards the center of the room lay a large purple stone that seemed to give off more energy than the rest of the room. Flying closer to it, he saw that it had been pushed aside to reveal another room under the main surface of the cave. He thought about flying away back to his home with the freedom fighters but curiosity won him over and he entered the room. This room was much more extravagant than the last one with various painting on the wall to surround even more symbols. In the center of the room was a red crystal structure resembling a bed of some kind. Flying over to the bed he could tell by it's warmth that it had been recently slept in. Wait a minute he muttered to hiself before darting up the hole and out the cave entrance. Shielding his eyes with his hand, he looked up at the blue solar eclipse blazing high in the sky.
"Oh dear!" He muttered to himself running both hands through his hair. All of his memory of why he was here returned to him in a flash. He had come here much earlier because he wanted to see if there was any truth to the prophecy. He had found this chamber many years before when he trying his hand at map-making and had since learned most of this chambers history. And now he had probably missed one of it's greatest moments. "Oh dear, dear, dear." He reiterated to himself while pacing back and forth. This was big. Probably the biggest thing that had happened in a while.
"Deep breaths, Tink. Deep breaths." He muttered trying to regain his composure. "Okay two options. I can go looking for this chosen or I can head back to camp and tell Artaxes." he thought out loud as usual. He never came to a decision but instead started searching around the cave for where the chosen one had gone.
