Chapter 4 - Struck Gold.

The voices of the settlement protectors echo when they speak in the cave. Lon alongside the others are walking deeper into the entrance of the cave. Manc alongside Hester are holding a piece of wood that is a blaze, an orange glow on the cave walls. Lon steps over some rocks as Cambs stops to pick them up, placing them into the wheel barrow, Birms has gotten the other one. Liver alongside Lee are carrying the pickaxes. They are going further in the cave, walking through hollowed out stone tunnels with water dripping, until they come to a circular opening with tunnels split in to four different paths.

Lon's echoing voice asking “Which one should we take lads?"

Cambs responds "We should just take the first one, see what is down there."

Lon responds asking "Agree lads?"

Manc responds "Don't mind, as long as there is something that helps us build the settlement some more."

They all start walking through the first one. While Cambs also Birms picking up rocks putting them into the barrow. As they go deeper in the cave, specs of shiny yellow dots mixed in with the cave walls, a bit further down is a yellow vein.

Cambs says "You see that, we should pick axe that, maybe we can use it for the settlement."

Cambs is inspecting the yellow dots while rubbing his fingers over it.

Lon responds saying "I believe that is gold."

Lee alongside Liver start pickaxing the walls until parts start crumbling to the ground as it comes off in chunks. While the others are picking it up, they fill up both barrow’s, then decide it is time to go back to the settlement, they will send others to come back to explore the rest of the cave later along with get the gold ore.

Manc alongside Hester are scraping the flaming wooden torches across the walls of the caves entrance, flakes of ash are spiralling off, getting caught in the wind while pieces burning wood fall to the muddy ground, Manc stamps on his for full extinguishing, Hester dunks his torch in a puddle made by the dripping rain water. The other settlement protectors follow Manc alongside Hester out of the caves entrance. One wheelbarrow with just gold ore piled like a pyramid, while the other filled with both rocks also some gold ore. The wheelbarrow wooden tires rolls through the puddle followed by a splash made by the boot that belongs to Cambs.

The brightness of the sun causing the settlement protectors to squint, their eyes having to adjust. Six Sky Glider come down from the sky, a spit fire divides the group of settlement protectors. The wheelbarrows are left as the settlement protectors get their weapons out to fight these fire creatures. One is swinging its razor-sharp wings towards Liver that is dodging them, as he ducks while the wing swooshes over his head, he comes up with an uppercut sticking the pickaxe's spike up through the chin of the Sky Glider, blood is leaking down onto the Pickaxe's cold iron spike. As the Sky Gliders takes flight Liver yanks the pickaxe out, blood sprinkling out from the ascending Sky Gliders chin. While Manc is running towards a Sky Glider that is on top of his brother Hester. Manc two foots the Sky Glider to the side of its body causing it to roll across the ground, Cambs runs past, stabbing the rolling Sky Glider through its head. As three Sky Gliders start surrounding Lon, Cambs is running towards them from behind. An arrow either side of Cambs head swooshes through the air past him, one of them hitting the first Sky Glider in the back of the head, dropping the creature to the ground, the other two of them are swinging their wings at Lon, that keeps backing up while avoiding decapitation, the other arrow finding its home in the side of the end Sky Gliders head, not instantly killing the Sky Glider. Lon is dodging the middle wings of the Sky Gliders as his sword is ripping through his wings. Cambs swords slices...
