Sorry it's so short
The cave made me feel safe. I traveled far into the cave so the thing couldn't see me. I traveled as far as a lake that shone purple from crystals at the bottom. It had a reassuring sense and eventually, and by that i mean hours, I feel into a sleep. Not a deep sleep, though. I stirred and stirred coming in and out of a dream. People gone, my town being destroyed, that rucksack like thing walking through the town kidnapping people, all these thoughts buzzed trough my dream. But amongst all the thoughts, laid the beast. That scaly yet badger like creature lurked like a spectre at the very back of my mind.
I woke to see a purple glow from that strange river. It illuminated the whole cavern and shone off other similar crystals. Then, as I stood up, the glow slowly dimmed to a murky green. Puzzled, I touched the water. The second my fingertip touched the surface of the water, a spectrum of blue erupted. Then I heard a crashing noise. I emerged from the cave to broad daylight and to my left was the beast. He jumped from space to space, completely missing me. Then, as I suddenly decided everything was ok , I headed for the town, not knowing the horrors that lay ahead.
