Ethoni/Day 1/Sacred Summit/He's pretty much by himself right now, but he's open
It didn't actually take very long before Ethoni started to see some light up ahead. I really thought this tunnel would be longe- OHNO! The sun blinded his eyes, so he didn't see how short the ledge in front of him was, causing him to fall strait down. Before he really knew what was happening, his whole body suddenly got really, really cold and he ran out of air to breathe. He didn't know which way was up, but he saw light, so he swam towards it. Taking in a huge breath of air, he now saw where he was... kind there were a lot of trees, but this wasn't any forest he was used to. There was a sort of strange feeling attached to it. He looked down, to make sure he didn't lose anything in the fall. He still had his bow and his quiver, but all his arrows were under the water. Taking in another breath, he dived to the bottom of the small lake (or large pond) and grabbed all he could. Since the Hixiri aren't really made for water, he really couldn't stay under for long. After only grabbing two of his ten arrows, he swam to shore and heaved himself up to his feet. "Great... Just great. Now I have to wear wet clothes all day." Of course, he had better things to be concerning himself with. For example, "Where am I, anyway? Hopefully there's some sort of town nearby..." Something caught his attention at his feet. A slight shimmer. A familiar shimmer. Right there, at his feet, lay the very reason he was here. He picked up the gem to look at it once again. "I guess I have you to thank for this, huh? Serves me right for stealing you." Ethoni sighed as he slipped it into a small leather pouch attached to his waist with twine. Guess I should start exploring.
