Summary
A soft rumble came from behind me. The grinding of stones could be heard, and as I looker over my shoulder, I could see the boulder start to break. No, not break. Open. Like an armadillo, a pair of stout arms and thick legs came into view, lifting the crystal covered torso with ease. The crystals changed colors with each move, a dark red first, then a deep blue, a swift flash of pink, and a lazy showing of yellow. I watched fascinated the movement of the creature. Despite their obvious weight and thickness, their movements were fluid and precise. They stretched their limbs, like one would do after a long slumber. Loud cracks came from their neck when they shook their head. Their four eyes, arranged in an arc, shined with an intelligent silver glow. They settled on me, growing slightly bigger, with a bit of...surprise or aprehension. They were hard to read. Their eyes were fixed on me for a while, without moving a single part of their rocky body. Their crystals changing colors rapidly, until it settled on a bright white.
"H-hello, I'm sorry to disturb you" I said with a raspy voice, the best my parched throat could do. "I'm Dalean Refar, the- ahem- the Curious. And you?"
