White Crystal

For the snow leopard, the waters might just be a little too hot to bare. She searched the springs before making the call it was safe enough.

Glowing vines stretched around the cave system with natural lighting, one she has never seen before. The lights danced in her view with spore pollen that floated in the air. Pollen that gave life inside this heated cavern. Axolotl swam around in neighboring ponds, not as hot compared to the springs Aki was enjoying.

"Hmm."

Ibris hummed to herself, picking berries off of the glowing vines. She gave it some sniffs before taking a bite out of it. The sweetness in sensation was overpowering for her taste buds to handle. Not poisonous, but not her cup of tea either.

"Here, you might like them better than I."

She spoke softly, plucking a few and brought them over to Aki. Looking down into the springs, a faint white glow lit up the bottom. Possibly no more than five meters deep. Ibris made sure to point it out to Aki, letting out a cheeky smirk.

Without have to ask, Ibris was about to be highly uncomfortable. Taking off her pelts next to the water, she lunged down into the burning depths. For her, the water was boiling hot. Growing up and only swimming in icy waters, this should've been a breeze. Relying on her swimming skills, she pushed herself down in order to grab the stone. Once taken, she quickly **** herself back up, gasping for air. Ibris immediately pulled herself out of the water, only to dive into the much cooler pond with the axolotls. A sigh of relief escaped her lips with a bit of steam rushing off her body.

"I got it Aki... Here..."

Her sight didn't fail her. It was a white stone with sharp edges, casting a faint glow. It was full of untapped energy, much like the red ones she had consumed over the years.
