A small, white furred creature sat at the top of a massive pile of gold. A cavern filled with a sea of treaure. A Hoard.

Ixle was his name, and he was determined to find the ultimate piece of treasure! 

A cup made of diamond? Boring. A wand that made bubbles? Ixle chittered and attached it to his belt. 

The belt was still too big for him, so he had it crossing his chest as a bandolier. 

Ixle rummaged a bit longer, then suddenly screeched in triumph. He held a large golden plate above his head. Ixle danced in merriment before placing the plate on the ground and sitting on it. With his left hand he took the bubbler out of his belt and held it above his head. With his right, he pushed himself forward off the platou. 

For the first five seconds, Ixle screeched in joy. His fur was brushed by wind and a string of bubbles filled the air. 

Then Ixle realised that he had no way of stopping his most definitely well thought out adventure. His screeching took a more panicked tone as he grabbed onto the sides of the plate with both hands. The bubble wand tumbled behind him, forgotten.

A box appeared in Ixles vision, Ixle swiped at it. That disturbed the fragile balance of the speeding creature, and Ixle fell from the plate. Ixle crashed into the gold at speed, and he rolled for a subjective eon. 

Ixle tumbled to a stop at the base of the pile. He sat in a stupor for a couple of second before a small avalanch of coins swamped him from behind. He dug himself out and surfaced, just in time for the bubble wand to bounce off the top of his head.

Ixle let himself grin, and he cheeped in amusment.

He jumped abruply at the new box. He swiped at it desperately, but it stuck to his vision. He let out a keening cry.

The ground shuddered as a massive reptilian figure rushed into the room. There was a woosh of displaced air, and the figure disapeared, replaced with an apparently human woman.

"Ixle! Whats wrong honey!" The woman rushed towards him. Ixle jumped into her arms and started cooing snuggling in. After a few seconds, he wiggled out and tried to grab at the floating box, cheeping angrily. 

"Is there something there? Let me... Oh!" Ixles mother grabbed at the air in front of him, her hands glowing.

This book's true home is on another platform. Check it out there for the real experience.

"Its a knowlege sprite!" She exclaimed. "They are rather rare back home, but I hear this plane is infested"

She laughed and played with it for a second. "These are rather useful for adventurers, and I think you are about the right age now to start your first journey"

She pulled a glowing crystal from somewhere and pushed it into the glowing box.

Ixle tilted his head is puzzlement. Journey? He wondered if mother was going to let him explore the outside world. He really hoped so. 

"I can use this to keep a track of you and make sure you are safe, Im still in hiding, but my enemies dont know about you" She smiled at him. "Go and pick out your favorite toys, you will be away for a while"

Ixle grabbed his mothers leg and nuzzled it affectionately. Then he ran away. He fell to all fours and sprinted to his hidey hole. A small cavern in a mountain made of gold. Here, Ixle kept his little hoard of treasure. 

Ixle threw his newly found bubble wand into his pile. He started sorting out his favorites.

After a short while, Ixle was finished. He picked up his bouncy-rock, looking at it closely.

Ixle jumped in surprise again. This time, he spent a moment to read the words.

The box disapeared after he fully understood the words. Ixle realised he could find out what all his magic items really did! He started with the ones he was bringing with him.

He picked up his dot-maker, It made a small red dot that couldnt be grabbed.

This was his shaker bracelet, it made his whole body shake when he put it on his wrist.

Suddenly it disappeared. Mother always did that when he found something he shouldnt have. Like the grenades.

He pouted and moved on. He knew it was better not to argue. He looked at his hand, suddenly curious.

Ixle did so.
