Anya followed for a while finding it easy to keep up despite her tired feet because Lumi wasn't moving too fast. At least Lumi had agreed to head back home at a reasonable time... or at least hadn't said no!
"So if it is treasure what are you going to do?" She still thought it was a map to a place not treasure, but then she didn't think people left maps to treasure just lying around!
"Think it'd be locked or trapped?" She thought so, a map to an easily stolen treasure had to be foolhardy! She wasn't sure it was treasure but if it was.... hopefully it'd be scrolls! And not filthy! That one house was bad enough. She wanted something clean now.

"Keep it, of course." She stated immediately, taking a turn and moving deeper into the woods. Seemed they were getting closer, which was always promising, "If it's locked, we will have to come back again and open it!"
Nodding, she turned again before her eyes caught sight of a rocky cave. It was small, and stuck out between the trees. It seemed that this was the last landmark, and that was where they needed to go.
She let her hands drop to her side, smiling brightly before taking off at a sprint to the mouth of the cave. It was about the size of a fully grown Alkidike and then some, so thankfully they would fit through just fine.

"Even though it might belong to someone?" She called out as Lumi took off at a run, making her sigh.
"And how would we even ope it?" She muttered to herself as she continued on slowly. "Not like any of us can pick locks or are strong enough to bust one!" Unless Lumi knew people who could.. in which case Anya was highly suspicious! Lock pickers were not always ... good people to put it simply. Of course Lumi would probably think it a fun skill... She scowled as she looked into he cave. "It's dark... Wait for me to get a torch Lumi!"
Of course they could just go by what their antennae sensed, but that was not a good way to stay safe! After all only movement was 'seen' by those so sharp rocks on the ground would go undetected. Before she got an answer, Anya went to get some wood, trying to find something dry in the humid jungle. It too a bit but she manged to find some dead vines that she wrapped about a wooden stick. Setting it on fire took longer; since she didnt have the good tools, she had to rely on the wood and rubbing it together.. a poor way to start one but it did work!
"There... Hey Lumi." She called out as she turned around. "Did you go into the stupid cave without waiting?"

Lumikani had gone into the cave.
"Not very far!"
Anya was taking too long with her meticulousness, and Lumikani was known know for being patient. The reckless triplet had gone in and was feeling out the cave, the light from the entrance reaching in a bit before a small curve.
It sounded like water was down deep, and the cave did slope a bit. Was it made by their ancestors, or something left over? It didn't sound or look like any creatures were around, but she couldn't quite tell from the silence. It also didn't seem like the cave went too deep, as the temperature was still mild and the water was just a drip.
There had to be a room back there, or something

She sighed and shook her head. Impatient as always!
"Well, don't go too far! I'd rather not get lost looking for you." She entered and looked around, the cave wasn't filthy.. so that was one good thing! Though it smelled... odd. Wet for sure and musky.
It was quiet too; something she liked, quiet with soft sounds of wind and water.
"Hmm... nice lace. Probably a meeting place for lovers though and not treasure!"

Lumikani laughed a bit at that, thinking she wouldn't get very lost in this small cave. However, she shook her head at her sister's romantic thoughts.
"Or maybe a stockhouse for bandits or earthlings!"
The thought caused her to push further, and soon enough the entered a larger room that was indeed a location for someone to settle or hide out as needed. Lumikani felt herself go quiet with anticipation, and she struggled very hard to wait for Anya to join her with the light.

Anya chuckled; she and Lumi had too different of views! Lumi seemed to want action and she preferred quiet ones...
She smiled as the torch light glinted off of crystals imbedded in the walls. Pale blue and lavender glows mixed with the ruddy torch light. Maybe it was something like a lovers meeting place or a hideaway for bandits.. which ever it was it was beautiful! I'll have to remember this one...
She walked up to Lumi's side where her sister waited impatiently for her to bring the light into the darkened area beyond.
"If you say so.. I like my idea better though." She peered inside and saw something glint back that wasn't a crystal growth. "Hmm.. guess there's something over there Lumi.. maybe your treasure?"
She walked into the middle of the room, where a small pond filled one corner with clear water and water seeped in from the ceiling, dripping down stalactites that twisted down like thin elegant spears.

She saw it the same time Anya did, and darted out to pass the middle of the room and right to the glint. A gasp wrong out in the silence as she grabbed a very old spear. It didn't look like one that the sister's used, it was extremely rudimentary. In fact, when Lumikani went to touch it, the head fell off - it had been there for so long. So she bent down and grabbed the spearhead, smirking brightly and spinning around.
"My treasure and your first adventure. This place is perfect, we should come back and make it our own!"
With that, she walked back to her sister's side and let her take in the space for a little longer. It was nearly time to leave, but Lumikani would let Anya make that call. For now, she continued to play with the spearhead with a bright smile on her face.

She shrugged when it was a weapon and not something shiny and pretty.. but it made Lumi happy so it was worth it right? Since she had been putting up with Anya's complaints!
"We should make this our base! Gotta bring in some hammocks and stuff and maybe some lights...Think we should let Nimeuh and Ashani into it as well?" She asked conspiratorially; "Or should this be a super secret base for just us?" It was too wet for her to store her scrolls here.. but maybe theycould make a secret base with some furniture and bring in supplies and stay out here everyone and then.. She wondered if it'd be safe to stay the night... not that she'd do it alone! Only if all her sisters were here would she feel like doing that!

Anya was always the team player, trying to bring the group together. Lumi couldn't blame her, but sometimes it was tiring to have the entire group of people in once place. She simply shrugged and let Anya prattle on, tossing the spearhead from one hand to the other before spinning it around a bit.
"As long as we can hide from the sisters that want to teach us, I don't mind..."
Her focus was still on the spearhead, but she felt a bit upset it wasn't a sword of some sort. Either way, she was happy to have it, and would treasure the item, and her adventure with her often uptight sister, for a long time to come.
At that thought, she handed the map to her sister with a smile.
"Super secret, so you better keep track of the map. Keep it with the rest of your books, and we can keep this place nice and for our use only..."
