The beginning
Little Bismuth and Eva, as usual were exploring the woods. Its been a few days since it rained and the ground was very dry.
In the forest nothing new was happening and not many animals were around, so they were really bored, not finding new things to discover.So they decided to go a little more north than they usually go, on the way north they found a strange looking cave with runes on the walls. These runes were glowing with a faint yellow color. They were were pleasingly warm at the touch , marking the entrace to this cave.
The cave itself was dark, except for the floor. Yellow lines were running all across the floor, making it glow.
After exchanging a quick nod of approval they quietly went in the cave, making sure to follow the lit path.
A few minutes of walking later.
"This place is just and empty , a long road to nothing! We have been walking for a while now" Little Bismuth said.
"Shhh.... we are almost there" replied Eva.
"If u say so..... wait a second....... what do you mean by we are almost there? Do you know this place?" said Little Shiny. He sounded surprised but there was also a line of concern.
Eva giggled.
Little Shiny was about to say something when suddenly they were face to face with a giant room , lit by yellow lights, the same light they
have been following for a while now.
The room was a big square, carved into stone with a giant pillar in the middle and a bridge leading to it.
Little Shiny was just speechless and he was following Eva on the bridge to the middle of the room. While looking down all he could see it darkness, he could not see the bottom of the room.
After a minute they got at the center of the room.
There lies a glowing yellow cube with runes carved on each side. Emitting warm light.
"Come here Bismuth..... i have something to tell you. I know u have questions , and i will answer those later, but now i have a present for you".
Little bismuth steps closer to the cube and stops a few inches from it, next to Eva.
"you see, i read books about the legends of an old artifact deep within a mountain, an artifact that could grant the key to regeneration" , " and after a few days of exploring i found this place and started studying the runes on the walls and stones that we walked across".
"These runes are instructions on how to use the cube , and explanations on how it works, and after all the time that we spent toghether i wanted to give it to you, since u never had the change to meet your family, and its too dangerous out there to explore, i wanted you to have the power to regenerate, in case something.... well ..... something bad happened to you"
Little Bismuth eyes filled with happy tears as he realized what that meant, he could have gone out there and searched for his family, without worrying about getting injured or even worse , killed.
He was speechless and all he could say was "thank you Eva".
"Now , did u bring the necklace that ur dad gave you like i asked?" asked Eva with a soft smile.
"Oh you mean this?" Little Bismuth takes a necklace out of his pocked and places it on the stone table
"Yeah, ok now touch the cube , and press the left side twice, and the right side once, after that hold it really close to you and dont let it go. Do you trust me?"
"Yeah, i do." Said little Bismuth

"Ok pressed what now" Said Little Bismuth as he raised his eyes to meet eva's.
She was grinning, and her eyes were filled with something that Little bismuth could not understand, something evil. as he was about to ask what to do Eva Pushed Bismuth down the platform with a kick. "thanks for the necklace, its work a fortune!" Said eva before running away.
Bismuth was in shock, falling in the darkness. the deeper he was falling the darker it was getting and the brighter the cube was getting.
After a few second the cube explodes into a beam of light witch momentarely blinds Bismuth as he hits a surface of water.
Blinded, confused and panicking Bismuth didn't know what to do or what was happening and he couldn't get out of the water. His energies were quickly fading as the oxingen was running out.
And then Darkness.........
