"All my family is currently dead and I'd prefer to not talk about something as personal as my past. I hope you understand."

[ZeroInfinity]

"Sorry, didn't know it was a sore subject."

[jaxler]

"It's fine, Most my family died when I was to young to understand what was happening."

[ZeroInfinity]

"It has been a pleasure, Jaxler, but I should probably be going. Best of luck," he says as he begins walking back towards his house.

[Khenal]

Shortly before sunrise, I arrive at Granite's new apartment.  He had moved out as soon as he was an adult, probably because of all his siblings and a desire for some shred of privacy.  He had been doing well in his mechanical studies, and I felt confident enough to bring him with me to help set up the new large monster trap in the caverns.  With tools and parts in my saddlebags, I knock on his door.

"Granite!  Granite, are you awake?  It's me, Flux!"

[L1wW]

Granite was having the best dream ever, when suddenly he awoke to a very loud knocking on his room's front door. He lazily got out of bed and opened the door. Granite recognizing Flux casually stretched a little and said, "Hey mentor! What's up? And is there any particular reason for those tools you got?"

[Khenal]

"Heya Apprentice!  Yep, we're heading down to the caverns to set up part of the monster trap.  It's fairly complex, so having an extra pair of hooves is important.  So get ready, we have work to do!"

[L1wW]

"Great." Granite says. "Should I write something like a will or final thoughts just in case I don't come back?"

[Khenal]

I chuckle as I lay a hoof on his withers.

"Heh, it's not that bad, Granite!  Besides, the caverns are nice if you can avoid the horrible monsters that have been forgotten even from legends.  Now come on!"

[L1wW]

"Alright, if you say so Flux..." Granite says and starts following Flux to the caverns. "So these traps are going to do some damage to the forgotten beasts right?" He asks on the way.

[Khenal]

"Well, we're going to set up a raising wall to trap the monster so the balista can handle it.  If we have time, I'd like to set up some spear traps, too.  Those things have been rather nasty, I want to make sure we can handle any that we manage to catch.  The wall is pretty heavy, so the mechanisms need to be really strong and installed properly."

[L1wW]

"Great, just tell me what to do Flux." Granite says. Man, I was having the best dream ever and now I get pulled out of bed to go build something in the caverns... Granite thought. The two keep walking until they reach the caverns. For about three hours the two work and manage to set up the wall and get it to properly raise and lower with the pull of a lever. They move on to the upright spear traps and after a few more hours of working on the traps they manage to set it up without injury and to their astonishment everything works out perfectly. With Flux giving Granite permission to go home, Granite gratefully accepts the offer and prepares to go home, that is until a certain pegasus runs up to him.

[jaxler]

Jaxler was walking toward the meeting hall planing on getting drunk when he noticed a familiar pony of in the distance walking out of the mine's. Jaxler hadn't talked with Granite in a while and decided he might as well strike a conversation. "Hay Granite!"

[L1wW]

"Hey Jaxler, I just finished a job with Flux. We set up some traps in the caverns, what's new with you?" Granite asked.

[jaxler]

"Nothing much, just wood crafting... all day... everyday... until the fabric of my mind decays... into mush... How are things on your end?"
