Redhawk Caldera Misty mountain hop

What Somnia found is Peridot, a gem/jewel thing that is often found around volcanoes as they are formed in the mantel of the earth and are brought up when the molten rock, lava, magma, etc. rise. As this is a caldera, chances are most of the tunnels would be formed from lava when it erupted when the lava found other spaces besides the top of the volcano and forced its way through. If the way I typed that makes sense. :P

Elwood agreed with turning around. It was, for Somnia at least, not as easy as it seemed. It probably had something to do with the fact that she tried to turn around right then and there, which didn't have enough space for her to do so. After figuring out that it would not work, which was about three tries, Somnia followed Elwood's lead, backing up to where there was enough room.

That settled, they made their way out uneventfully. Once they got out of the tunnel, Somnia darted around Elwood, to a spot where the most light shined in from outside. She didn't even bother to get out of the cavern before checking the object out. It was a gem-like thing that was a light-green color. Her tail wagged happily at her finding while she let Elwood check it out.
