Spelunking

Spelunking

I flipped the roasting birds to cook the other side and started to look at my new I.D. It was similar to the size of a credit card and had looked to be made of some sort of plastic. It was pale white-green in the middle and had two thick bright green stripes at the top an bottom. On the right side in the middle was a pokeball symbol and a picture of my face. On the left side however was all of my vital information such as name , blood type(A+) , I.D number and allergies(none). -

Honestly speaking it was so simple looking that I almost didn't believe that this was a legal I.D but the system hasn't messed up so far so I'll give it the benefit of the doubt. Once the food was done I let Gaia grab her portion(the lions share) and grabbed the one bird set aside for my self. I could only watch jealously as she eagerly ate her food without having to worry about burning herself. I on the other hand could only blow on my whole roasted Pidgey until it stopped steaming before tentatively taking a bite.-

'OH MY MOTHER FUCKING GODS THIS IS SO GOOD!' I thought as the rich flavor rolled over my tongue giving me a mini mouthgasm in the process. Take the the flavor of a thanksgiving turkey and a roast chicken and fuse them together and you'd have the flavor of roasted Pidgey. It was moist and rich and if no one ate these things in this world it should be a sin. Jokes aside this was by far some of the best food I have ever tasted in my life and I was so happy to eat it.-

After polishing off a whole roast Pidgey to the point of feeling bloated I piled up all my collected feathers and promptly laid down on them. It didn't do much but at least it was slightly softer than the hard stone ground. Remaining perfectly still I began to breath in through my mouth and out through my nose slowly while mentally chanting the mantra of the aura meditation method. I didn't think I'd get anything really done with this meditation but it gave me something to occupy my mind as I tried to get to sleep nice and early.-

When I next opened my eyes the rays of the sun were starting to peek over the horizon and once again Gaia had blocked the entrance to the cave with her sturdy back. Waking her up after reviving the fire I noticed something outside the cave that definitely wasn't there before , a corpse. Specifically a familiar looking Poochyena with it's neck crushed in an equally familiar manner. I was obviously able to tell what had happened. 'So this thing decided to try and attack us in our sleep but got dealt with easily by Gaia huh?' I thought coldly while narrowing my eyes at the sight.-

"Yeah feel free to kill any of those you see , the more unrecognizable the better." I suggested and she nodded with a serious expression. After that I caught a lucky break and found an everstone in the wall that I had Gaia dig out for me. I didn't think I'd ever really use the thing but it was still valuable and I doubted I was going to live on this mountain forever. Of course I had no plans of leaving the area anytime soon as both Gaia and I were too weak at the moment. The next little event for us in the cave was finding a second area from this one.-

Gaia and I chose to come back to that later once we finished exploring this area which was a good thing too as I found a hardstone. I was a strangely gemlike thing the size of a cherry that glowed ever so slightly brown. 'Appraise.' I thought while looking at the stone and a system entry for it appeared.-
