Ampere eyed the opening to the caves wearily. She had no intention of ever returning to this god forsaken pit of hell, certainly not willingly, yet she had to. Word had already spread, like wildfire on the wind. Another body was down there.
That fact only added another stone to the heavy pile that hung in her gut, making her sick. She'd take the freaky fucking floating island over this dark abyss of torturous memories any day. The body was not on the island though. Of course it's not.
Swallowing her bitterness and disgust Ampere plunged into the caves, her pace increasing as anxiety thrummed with each stride she took. The faster in, the faster out she thought decisively, tempted even to close her eyes (it was dark enough anyway it didn't make much difference...) if only to pretend she was elsewhere. Arguably pegasus were already innately claustrophobic, but added to her wings limited nature she also had a shitload of the most horrible memories of her life. Seriously, fuck this place. Some sanctuary.
She came upon the scene at a near gallop, halting and sliding over rocks and stones when gasping, she saw the body. Her wings naturally flared to help slow her, and the caverns were big enough - they had held all of Helovia after all. Well, not all, just everyone who wasn't sick.
Still, Ampere's halt was sloppy and painful, her hooves tender by the time she drew beside the boy. Her breaths were shaky, whether from her sprint, the caves, or the corpse, she couldn't be sure. Not surprisingly he had many of the same wounds as the others. The only unique thing was a few scraps of crystals near him, which at first glance didn't seem too odd, given this was the crystal cavern of the cave. Ampere would have left just then if not for the burning need of justice driving off the darkness. There had to be something more. These murders couldn't just keep happening, damnit!
That's when she noticed how odd the crystals near him were.
Could it be? Ampere thought in horror, backing away and fleeing the caves faster than she'd come in. This clue only solidified what she'd been fearing to consider. She had to tell the others.
