Lily stepped back from the situation with a frustrated sigh, her hands flying up to cross over her chest as she used the extra distance to further analyse what could be done. 

The cave-in in front of her led to a passage she hadn’t yet explored, and she’d been trying for the last half hour to clear the rocks so that she could make her way through. But try as she might, it was impossible to remove them by herself. The rocks at the top needed to be taken first to avoid a landslide and another cave-in, but she couldn’t climb the rocks and hold her lantern at the same time, and setting the lantern down provided no light at the top of the cave, where she needed it most in order to see which rocks were loose enough to be removed. It was a two-person job, and unfortunately, Lily usually worked alone.

But as if in answer to her unintentional prayer, she heard footsteps heading towards her. The Leuda Mines were so large with so many tunnels heading in different directions that it was rare to meet somebody else by accident down here. So she seized the opportunity for help, calling out, “Excuse me?”

Underwater Mystery

@ge0flora​

Deep diving and looking for shells or lost items was a pastime of Leia’s. She loved finding objects that seemed ordinary, but could have hold important memories to their owners. It was sad however that they were lost and Leia couldn’t do much about it. Rarely did she find anything important enough that she felt it had to be taken to someone. There was one morning where she was doing her usual search and found something very important.

Something caught Leia’s eye. It was mostly buried in sand, so she couldn’t tell exactly what she was looking at.

Swimming closer, she still couldn’t tell what it was. Once she got close enough, Leia used her hand dig out the item. It looked like some kind of weapon. A dagger. But not a regular dagger. The rust covering it indicated that it was very old and the engravings on the hilt were unique. It was hard to tell, but it looked to be in another language that Leia couldn’t decipher. 

Later that day, Leia decided to stop by the Historical Society with the weapon. Maybe they would know more about it and have a better use for it. She found a woman who looked like she worked there and approached with the dagger presented. 

“Hi, I found this dagger while diving and wanted to see if it’s anything interesting,” she said, unsure of the best way to phrase her request.
