[TheProcess] Cave Exploration

As Celeste delved deeper within the cave, she viewed the strange blue crystals with intrigue. The glow of her own sparkles and halo a great source of light within the darkness of the cave. It actually reflected off of the gems, which gave off their own ethereal light. After what was only a few minutes she realized she ought to continue through the labyrinth layed out in her path. Along the wall she found the occasional carving, written in a language familiar but strange. They seemed to be directions, imbued with magic she could only assume belonged to the Elder Gods. Knowing this, she decided these carvings were safe to follow. The path seemed to weave through the cave, bringing her past many an empty outclove within the depths. Within a few hours the words on the wall disappeared as she reached a large open room. Not her final destination, as she soon figured out.

She spotted a humanoid that seemed familiar, yet different. The aura they gave off reminded her of something, but the words for it remained on the tip of her tongue. In her distraction, the strange humanoid spotted her, which caused her to jump slightly. She had many questions about the humanoid. Like why he seemed familiar, and why this form seemed to remind the young larsuku of the Elder Gods and Riba. While she pondered these questions she managed to make her way through the other paths, looking for anything interesting.
There were a few strange things within the cave, excluding the humanoid and glowing crystals lining the walls along her path. There were some purple colored crystals she spotted in hidden crevices of the cave, and they seemed to glow with sigils of magic. Even stranger still was the blue topped mushrooms, that seemed to be covered perpetually in dew. However upon closer inspection it seemed to be a part of these strange mushrooms. It felt like a bad idea to try and take these strange magical items, so she left them be and continued exploring.

Eventually the path seemed to twist and turn before leading to a familiar sight. It was the room she saw her owner go to occasionally! This must be where the magical pearl was at times right? She fluttered her wings as she walked closer to the room's center, keeping an eye out for any more of the strange writing from before. That's when she heard a voice, and she assumed it to belong to the humanoid from before. She flapped her wings and lifted off the ground to obtain an aerial view of the cavern. She spotted the humanoid leaving the opening she had left earlier. Was she in trouble? Maybe this area was off limits to Larsuku and Ribina who were unaccompanied? She surely didn't want to find out, so she snuck around as quietly as she could, before hiding behind one of the strange blue crystals. She held her breath, hoping she would not be spotted.
