Mount Abba - Aesath's Cavern Palace

A rumbling could be heard outside, growing in magnitude, as Shaitana wedged her way into the door a little. She giggled and looked proud of her work.

"I thank! No offered make thing before. I no get many visitors. You first to ask." She said, beaming.

Shaitana tabbed her chin in thought and shrugged.

"I try?" She said, as if asking permission.

She smiled. It was the first time in a long time she didn't feel like a burden.

"Okay! I try!" she cheered before unwrapping from the mountain and burrowing underground again. Aesath would hear the normal rumblings and grinding of stone deep in the remaining tunnel, but Shaitana didn't return to the surface for some time. The day turned to night again before she came back up from the hole. Popping out of the worm torso, she held out her hand with what looked like furniture of granite and stone designed for Aesath's size. A fountain without water had been built, able to be wedged into the hole with the waterfall to create a beautiful centerpiece for the main cavern. Because of the size difference, she was concentrating very hard to not accidentally turn the furniture to dust as she gently placed them around the caverns. In one room, a bed. In another, a pit to hold treasure. After an hour of setting down the pieces of finely-crafted stone objects, she retracted from the cave so the entrance was open but she could still see inside.

"I finish. Like?" She asked Aesath nervously. "Very hard make things so small. Broke many items when making. Need grow bigger like Shaitana, I make bigger things then!"

"Back down mountain. Home in open field" SHe said as she pointed to beyond the mountain chain. An open meadow filled with large holes could be seen, next to a heavily deforested woods. She began to retreat from Aesath's home, waving as she went back into her worm torso.

"It nice meet you! I visit sometime?" She asked sheepishly.
