Chapter 8 - 08 (2/2)

Given the speed and force exerted by Shin, if he had not kicked to change position and cushion his fall, there would surely have been a crater at least twice the size of the one already there.

”Phew” Shin exhaled relief after falling to the ground below the crater.

Still on the ground, he got up to see the ”hole” he had made in the mountain.

”Oops” He scratched his head when he saw what he had done.

”Shin excused himself comically, reassuring himself that the crater would not be visible from afar.

He then turned his gaze away from the crater and directed it towards the famous cave he had come for.

The size of the entrance was much larger than what it looked like at the bottom... logical considering the distance between the two locations.

It was really big, so much so that even if Shin had no idea of the size of a dragon he was sure he could enter without difficulty.

”The space problem won't be one less problem” rationalized Shin.

Shin entered the cave to discover a small corridor that was still the same size as the entrance.

For the moment, the ”corridor” was normal, even too normal, with no stones, metals, crystals, no relief, nothing, just smooth rock with no sign of imperfection.

It was really disturbing and strange, in caves the various resources were normally scattered all over the place.

And when it wasn't, it was either that it was really just a simple cave or that all the resources were in one place.

Still walking for 1 minute, he saw a strong light shining at the end of the corridor.

Arriving at the end of the corridor, Shin was greeted by a huge open space that could accommodate several dragons and of a height that would allow them to fly.

Natural pillars of rocks were present in the room to hold the immense ceiling.

This place was not as dull and monotonous as in the corridor.

It was full of reliefs, filled with crystals that illuminated this place in a pure white, a waterfall coming out of the wall a pure crystalline water that spread out to form a small pond.

The crystals even hung from the ceiling and shone to make them look like stars.

Around the small pond, grass had even managed to grow on top of soil present on a good small surface.

The sound of the cascading waterfall as well as the song of small birds perched on the only tree next to the pond made this place heavenly.

Shin did not even understand how a place like this could not have been already taken as territory by humans, animals or dragons.

Shin's eyes were filled with surprise at the sight of this space.

”Magnificent” were the only words he could say at this breathtaking view.

”This will be my new home” Admiring this place, Shin decided to make it his home.
