No one would find them if they got caught in a cave in, for some reason that intrusive thought came bursting into her mind like nothing else was there. Jack faltered and then shook her head and kept on digging next to Grim, who was carving away at the tunnel floor like it was butter. She didn't need to think like that, nothing good would ever come of thinking like that at least. She sighed a little and then shrugged, she would figure it out if it happened, she'd been in cave ins before and had gotten out alive, obviously, but what would happen if she couldn't? Her thoughts had taken a dark turn, so she stopped digging and brought out the fire crystal to look at for a few moments. That gave her hope, she would see the surface again, just not until she was done finding her crystals!

Aww, not quite as exciting has the rest of the trip seems to be; but here is a beautiful blue stone, glimmering like the night sky. [96-100]

The last trip had been pretty good! Three crystals wasn't something you could sniff at after all, and one was even the kind she was looking for at the moment, which was certainly a good thing. She was back with Grim and it seemed like everything was going to go well for them today, she was hopeful they would find her last fire crystal and then she could go and make her node. It was something she was going to have to worry about just a bit, she figured with a little sigh, and she just hoped that things were going to work out with it again. Maybe as long as things worked out, she wouldn't have to deal with anything just yet. Fire would be good to have, even though she had her amulet spirit who could start a fire for her and all that, but oh well she figured with a little smile, hand on Grim's back.

Grim glanced over at the woman with a bit of a snort. He was ready to get into the mines, but the woman didn't seem to be in too much of a hurry at the moment. He didn't know why, their luck had been good in the mines lately, and she was wanting to get one of those fire crystals really badly. Apparently it was the only one left for something she needed, he didn't understand it, didn't pretend to understand it, didn't really even want to understand it, but that was fine by him. He really didn't even care really, but he didn't need to for her to be excited by something here. He had his life, she had hers, and that was that. Sometimes their lives intersected and that worked out for the both of them, but other than that he didn't know what else to do as she stood there.

Jack finally gave a little chuckle, she could feel Grim strain against her hand a little, but he knew better than to take off without her at the moment. She smiled a little and then patted him on the back before taking the handle of the wagon and beginning to pull it into the mines. It held a couple of bags and all of her tools, and it was big enough to carry a couple of animals if she found them in the mines, which she kind of wished she would this time at least. Of course last time she had come across a small worm, but that wasn't enough for her right now. Giving a little sigh, she focused on her goal, a fire crystal. Or prismatic, either way really, that would be fine. Either way she would have her fire node, and she was excited about having one soon.

Grim just wanted to find some things, maybe they would find something interesting, but he really didn't know that at the moment. He snarled a little, the sound of rocks tumbling together, when he thought he spotted another worm, he could do without those at the moment, he thought. He was in this for the long haul though, so whatever they found, he would go with for the moment. She thought it was best not to tell him they were leaving as soon as they found a fire crystal as well, but that was alright, whatever happened, would happen, and she couldn't really change it any more than it already was. Jack pushed a hand through her cut hair and smiled a little, she had finally cut it. It was short around her ears at the moment, which really helped things out when it was hot or she was working hard.

Maybe they would get lucky and find a fire crystal pretty close to the entrance to the mines, now that would be nice no matter how you looked at it. Of course Grim would probably hate that, but she didn't mind it too much, at least he would have a little time in the mines. Goran wouldn't care, he didn't care much that he used to live here before going home with Jack, but it was interesting watching him work. Grim didn't want to leave the mines, his was close to an obsession it seemed, and she didn't know what to do about it at the moment. Jack shrugged a little and then continued into the mines, following the dim purple glow of Grim to see what they could find, hopefully a fire crystal, which would be more than nice at this point in time. She chuckled, she didn't know what she was thinking.

Two gems lay scattered near; one of them quite easy to see and very pretty, the other might be hard if in dull light but is quite pretty! [101-105]

What she wanted was a fire crystal, pure and simple. Other crystals were nice, of course, but until she found her last fire, she didn't really think she would think much of the other kinds. She grinned a little as she followed Grim, wondering what she was going to find this time along with his help, hopefully what she wanted, but one never knew what to expect in the mines. Pushing her hair back with her free hand, because now she HAD a free hand thanks to her new leg, she followed behind and glanced around from time to time, pausing every now and then to see if she could sense anything in the mines. Nothing was around that she could feel, and Grim hadn't stopped which was a depressing sign, he was much more in tune with the crystals than she was after all, so him not stopping meant absolutely nothing was nearby.

Jack just wanted to find one and then leave, that was really all she wanted at this point. She probably wasn't going to get it though, but she was alright as long as eventually she got a fire crystal. Even a prismatic would be fine at this point, she figured with a little chuckle in her throat. Grim glanced back at her but then went back to looking ahead of him, not wanting to miss anything on their walk into the mines right now. If he could find something good, feel something good, and then stop so they could find it, he would be ahead of things. The woman's infectious longing for the fire crystal had touched him, and now he couldn't believe he had been looking for anything else. Even the pure crystals he had found had nothing to her want of a fire crystal, it was strange.

Without a doubt, she was obsessed at this point. She had everything except a single crystal, so a fire or prismatic were all she needed to get her node. Of course there were a few steps she needed to take before she got it, but that was fine she figured with a small smile. She just needed to make sure she got them in the right order this time, it had been awhile since she had made one, of course, she hadn't hunted down crystals this obsessively for quite some time. But now she knew she would be able to get the last one, especially if she had Grim or another of his kind with her at the moment. Patting him on the back as she caught up with him, she realized he had slowed down a bit and was sniffing a bit more intently at the ground. Something was coming, she felt it.

She watched him intently as he hunted around on the floor of the tunnel for a little while, pausing every now and then to scratch at the walls. He was on to something, she just wasn't sure what it was just yet. It had to be a crystal, but what kind would they manage to get this time? She smiled a little and then gasped softly when he stopped, body rigid for a moment before he started digging where the wall met the floor. Interesting place, of course, but that wasn't going to stop either of them at this point! Jack smiled and grabbed her shovel and started to dig next to him, she could feel a faint thrumming inside of her now that she was closer, and she excitedly started to dig. What if it was what she wanted? What would she do when she reached her goal?

He knew there was something in there, he just didn't know how far away it was. It was just a faint tingle in his veins, which meant it would be fairly far away, but that was fine he thought with a bob of his head. What was going to happen whenever they found it? Would they leave and then come back? He knew she wasn't going to be content with the nodes she had whenever this one was made, so which ones were they going to hunt down next? Jack smiled at him and patted him on the back haunch as he dug and she dug as well. Whatever happened, they'd do it together, she knew it was going to be perfect no matter what. Now if they could just find the thing they were looking for, then life would end up so much better for her at the moment.

Oh, it didn't seem like there was much around at first, but it looks like a really lucky find could be found if one dug deep enough. [106-110]

Back after a long hiatus after finding all of the fire crystals she had needed to make her node, she was ready to go and get some more for a new node eventually. She grinned a little, her hand on Grim's back, she couldn't wait to see what they would find, and she really hoped they would find what she needed rather quickly so they could move on to something new soon enough. The more she had in reserve, the more nodes she could make as the years progressed, and it was all good for what she wanted. Glancing down at the halfbreed, she grinned some more and wondered what it was going to be like to find all the pure crystals she needed for her node, she needed seven more, which wasn't a number to laugh at really. They were hard to come by, and she needed a lot more of them than she had for her elemental nodes.
