Transition to Treasure (DQIX Mini Fanfic)

Transitioning

Wow... Guys we look amazing!" Reese blurted out. She was obviously enraptured by the new outfits. Mine as particularly, showy, especially around my stomach area. I had a huge hole in my stomach I had received while fighting Corvus. The jet black lightning wasn't intimidating by appearance, but made the strong cower. One bolt went straight through my stomach. How I was able to survive was quite miraculous. However my motto is "it takes a whole lot to finish a Celestrian,". It was true anyway. My brand new outfit seemed a lot like a luminary's style, nonetheless I was still a minstrel. It was a top with tassos at the bottom of it, near my stomach, which showed. It also consisted of a skirt with colors such as purple, orange, yellow and gray. I had no matching shoes so I just stuck with my dragon boots. I felt like it was too flashy. Everyone else looked great though. Reese with a martial arts costume, which was one sleeved and for some reason showed off her breasts. She also wore some sort of bandana around her neck, tied almost like a bow. She still had those pink shoes she was infatuated with. Rona wasn't much of a fashion person, and decided to stick with the outfit she had. But regardless we had bought her some earthen armor that looked quite heavy. However, the princess was the strongest, which was ironic. Phoenix wore a replica of the goddess Celestria's gown. It at least provided her some flexibility. Her metal hand even got changed to a darker shade of gray, almost black.
"Well.. You say that Reese... But I find this outfit a bit embarrassing.." I stated, bashfully.
"Oh come on, Silven! That outfit looks great on you, believe me!" The feline female tried to reassure me.
"So... I don't think we've decided what we're going to do now.. We've beaten Corvus, thus leaving us with nothing better to do." Phoenix changed topics, trying to prevent her girlfriend from rambling on about how stunning they looked.
"Oh yeah... We never decided that did we?" Reese followed on, agreeing with Phoenix
"Well..." Rona began and put her arms behind her back, "we did receive those maps from King Schott of Stornway, did we not? We should go treasure hunting!" Rona had an eye for precious things, but she was never greedy.
"We could do that.." I agreed with the red head.
"Aww... I kinda wanted to beat up the monsters back at the Magmaroo." Reese whined.
"I bet you just wanted to see Silven and Greygnarl together..." The blonde one retorted and smirked.
The case of flushing crawled up my back and reached my cheeks. Greygnarl wasn't someone I liked romantically, more of platonically. Besides how would a relationship between a dragon and a Celestrian even work? That would be a little disgusting to think about.
"I bet you both do..." Rona butt in and crossed her arms.
"Guys, we could do both!" I exclaimed, snapping out of my trance.
"You know, Silven should really stop coming up with ideas... Because she's good at it." Reese mumbled and her ears drooped.
"Perhaps today we could go treasure hunting in a grotto near Stornway, then head up to the Magmaroo since we have nowhere else to go." I explained and crossed my arms.
"I'm with Silven on this one." Phoenix muttered and grasped my hand. The other two followed suit. We were suddenly show up into the sky from my Zoom spell. It was a handy ability no doubt. I used it frequently. Why Celestria hadn't taken away this ability from me was a mystery. The next thing we knew, we were in front of the town known as Stornway. It was a castle town, and also where my friend Erinn worked. She worked alongside Patty in the Stornway Inn. Voted best for decades. Speaking of that hardworking girl, I wonder how Ivor is doing. I wanted to hear the latest gossip of any sort of relationship affliction they had. It's all interesting to me.
"Alright so. The grotto that we are looking for is around here.." Rona spoke up and started walking up the stairs. Either I'm turning into a freak, or she looks really good in that armor. Reese and Phoenix followed her. Might as well.. Snapping out of thoughts, I trailed behind my three comrades for a little bit, pondering. The group had always seen me as the person to think a lot about things. During battles I always strategized... And sometimes that would get us killed. Example, the Dreamaster. My plans didn't work out the way I wanted them to. We ended up getting bitch slapped by a book. Embarrassing, nonetheless, my fault.
"So... We going to head into this grotto or not?" Reese purred and looked at the cave in that was dug in the ground.
"Yeah! Let's see where this takes us." Rona exclaimed and entered the cavern.
I was somewhat hesitant. Phoenix looked back at me and urged me on.
"C'mon Silven! It'll be fun!" The blonde tried to reassure me.
I hope she was right; what was the worst that could happen anyway?
