"MOM! You crushed my friend!" Kontar shouted as he quickly got out of Eshe's grasp and started to pry Cilo away. "Now look what you've done! Why can't you just cut back on the comfort food!"

"Have you ever seen a punch thrown at me that I couldn't just brush off?" Eshe asked.

"No, but that's cause I've never seen you get punched," Kontar said.

"Well what about the time that sword-wielder tried to pierce me with his weapon and he couldn't push his sword deep enough?" Eshe asked.

"That didn't come from being fat, mom!" Kontar shouted.

"Then what did it come from?" Eshe asked.

"...Uhhhh..." Kontar didn't actually know how Eshe was able to take damage so well. Maybe there was an advantage to being fat. ...But that advantage wasn't showing now. "Don't worry little guy, I'll help you."

OOC: I know that whole "Meat Armor" deal is just a fantastical stereotype, but I have a hard time using big characters that aren't that way. ...Maybe because I mostly like them when they're intimidating and not useless, and being able to absorb blows easily is something I've come to associate with fat characters.

(Ooc: xD your fine id actually prefer it that way. Now I hope you don't mind my explanation as to how he's not dead.)

Cilo was basically flattened from head to toe, the woman's thigh landing on top of him with a vengeance as the floor around him cracked and began to give in. Any creature of similar size would be long gone. But not pixies. They developed a very strong bone structure after centuries of getting run over and crushed, so now they could withstand an insane amount of weight. Was it comfortable? Not at all! Cilo was losing his mind as he laid under the mass, Kontar's attempts to free him not doing very much at all, but at least there was no permeanant physical damage.

"Get off him mom! You're crushing him!" Kontar yelled.

"Oh alright," Eshe said as she used her cane to right herself.

"Cilo... are you alright?" Kontar asked.

Cilo let out a groan as the dim light from the hole they had fell down finally reached his tiny smushed body. It wasn't hard to see that the pixie had been really crushed, the ground having a defined imprint of the little pixies body as he slowly sat up and rubbed his head. "...Thanks for hurrying to get up..." He grumbled at Eshe with a slight glare before sighing and finally standing up straight.

That's when he noticed his wings. They were crooked now, meaning that for the time being he couldn't fly. They would eventually straighten themselves out, but not for a length of time he had yet to measure. "...great...now I've gotta wait for my wings to straighten out..." Cilo stated so the others knew what was going on before he pulled them against his back so they were out of sight and protected. "Who's carrying me?"

"Mom, let me, it's my pet!" Kontar shouted. "Besides, you've hurt him too much already."

"Very well little one," Eshe said. "Wouldn't want to make my one and only sad, now would I?"

"Don't worry, I'll do what I can to help," Kontar told Cilo.

Cool held in his aggression towards the tiny one that called him pet and instead sighed and in a few moments had managed to let the small one pick him up. "Just...don't squeeze tight..." He said in a stern tone before looking around. "Where are we going?"

"Well, I would go further but... I think one of my bones is broken right now," Eshe said. "...Bah! I'll just walk it off. Anyway according to the map, there should be treasure just across the natural bridge down there. There's a river flowing through the cave and a big wall across the bridge. Around the bridge is the treasure. ...Of course if someone had to make a map of the treasure, then someone's already found it by now. ...Maybe there's more too it."

Cilo sighed. "Then let's move cautiously. Because I am not even going to attempt saving you from that river if you fall in..." He said before pointing in the direction of the bridge, as if saying 'it's time to move'.

"Oh please," Eshe asked, walking towards the bridge. "What are the odds that I could actually fall..."

Of course, the moment she set foot on the bridge, it crumbled right under her. This did not make Eshe happy.

"Oh COME ON!" Eshe cried. "Fah! We're going to have to swim across then."

"Yippie! I love swimming!" Kontar exclaimed.

Cilo gulped. "I uhm...I don't do great in water.." He admitted rather quickly. In fact water was horrible for him. He was a creature of the air!!

"Oh please, just sit on my shoulder," Eshe said. "Sure the current looks strong, but there's no way it will sweep me off my..."

But the moment Eshe stepped into the river... No, actually the river's current really did have no effect on her. BUT Kontar decided to dive in without his mother's assistance, and if Eshe didn't hold her staff out for Kontar to grab, Kontar would be a goner. ...Did I mention Kontar was still carrying Cilo.

"Kontar! You didn't even put any thought into that, did you?" Eshe asked. "Never make reckless choices like that again!"

OOC: Let me know if I'm writing too much of the RP. Sometimes I feel like I get too hammy.

(xD your ok)

Cilo gasped and held his breath just before he was forced under the water. Kontar had a tight hold in him, but he was being held underwater. He struggled and kicked and squirmed, needing the oxygen no more then a foot away. But he couldn't make it. Kontar's hold was too tight.

"I'm sorry mommy," Kontar said before looking at Cilo. "ACK! No, I'm sorry little guy! No, don't die on me!" Kontar started to press on Cilo's stomach, hoping to push water out of his lungs.

It took a minute or so of pushing before Cilo coughed up the excess water. "....This is why I don't like swimming..." He said weakly as he laid limp in the boys hold. "...And my wings are going to be soaked next time I pull them out..." He groaned out soon after.

"Right, okay we go around this wall," Eshe started. "And then we... go... in the temple that's not on the map?"

Sure enough, there was a temple right around the corner. The map showed the treasure, but it made no mention of any temple. This either meant that no one actually got the treasure and/or they only assumed there was treasure down here.

"Ha! This is where the real adventure begins," Eshe proclaimed.

Cilo was still in a sour mood as they moved to the hidden temple around a wall. He did find a sense of relief in the fact that he didn't see or hear water in the area. So maybe it was safer then he thought? Still, in order to avoid chances taken Cilo snuck over to Eshe and had managed to climb up her leg, backside and back, all the way up to her shoulder where he laid down and caught his breath.

OOC: Do you want to make some ideas for the temple?

Ooc: sure why not. I was thinking that they should eventually run into some giant spiders. xD maybe a creature that isn't evil and trying to kill them but wants to keep Cilo for his power? And is willing to attack the others and fight them off?

OOC: Not a bad idea. ...Not sure about spiders though. Seems a bit... cliche.

True but we may have to fall to that if we have lots of dungeons.
