~Tarren's P.O.V.~
As the others turned and walked, I looked at my partner, Reef, with his blue eyes shining back. We nodded in synchronization, and then turned and bounded across the forest floor. We knew what we had to do. We had to go mining.
"We need wood before we go down!", I called over to Reef, "We'll need tools and a spare crafting bench!"
"Yep. when we find a cave, we'll stop and grab some." he replied, still facing forward, dedication in his eyes. My eyepiece flickered, and rendered a map of the surrounding area. It warned me of a sudden depth change in the terrain ahead. I started to call out to Reef to warn him, but it was slightly too late.
Reef bounded out of the treeline, straight over a ravine. Fear filled his eyes and he locked on to the ledge he flew from moments before - spinning in the air. As he clung, I was already racing towards him. I could hear his struggled groans, and as I approached, I saw the state he was in.
Reefs' hood had fallen from his head, and blonde, slightly curly hair replaced the space it once occupied. His eyes were a lot clearer now - sharp and precise - "definitely someone with experience" i thought. "Reef!", I called to him, "Don't worry bro - i'll help you up!". He was grimacing under carrying his own weight on one hand, and I could see blood coming from in-between his knuckles. I lay on the edge of the ravine, looking down possibly seventy to eighty foot before leaning over and grabbing Reefs other hand.
Once up, I leaned him against a tree, and I tore a part of my jeans off to absorb the bleeding. It was only minor, but one could definitely see where the rocks' edge had impaled his hand.
"This cave deep enough?", I joked, and we both chuckled. Even in such a circumstance he was still able to laugh.
"I suppose it'll have to be!", he replied, his hair blowing slightly, "We cant really leave this now!". We laughed for a while, then I began to gather some wood from the surrounding trees. A crafting bench was made, and surely enough, ladders, pickaxes, and soon enough a furnace joined it. We were ready to venture down, and with Reefs' hand bandaged, we dug down into the depths on the search for Coal, Iron, and the center-piece of our plan... Uranium.
