Cold. It was the only real sensation he could think about when he first entered the world. That and weakness. Surprisingly not hunger. His small frame had been placed near a blue crystal that just sort of pulsed into him. A strange thing to describe. But as the days went on he slowly explored the small crevice he had been placed in.

Small patches of moss that harbored water and small insects proved to be a source of food and water as well as a comfortable bed. The small opening into the crevice expanded into a rather spacious room for a pixie. A few small blue crystals illuminated the burrow. The only other occupant of the room was a small spider. The spider he so lovingly named Steve was injured when he first saw it.

Although being slightly aggressive, the spider was far too injured to truly do any damage to him and did not seem to have a venomous bite at least it hadn’t tried to bite him yet. So far they had a rather rough but peaceful arrangement. Something Ardur found very hard to do for something that can’t communicate with him. After he healed the spider and gave it part of a flying insect he found, all he took in return was some of its webbing to block the entrance to their burrow.

For the most part the two stay away from each other. Steve does have a smaller way out of the burrow he uses to hunt. While Ardur spent the first week barely getting out and around from his home. He figured out quickly that he could fly. It wasn’t the best, the slightest bit of wind could knock him off course and almost send him to the ground. He could also use some spells, just as the demon king said he could. The shield was interesting to figure out. He couldn’t push things or hit things with it, or at least not right now. But it could deflect things that were coming at him.

The healing one was self-explanatory, and mostly instinctual. The first time he used it on Steve it partially regrew a few of the lost spiders limbs. But other than making him feel weak and light-headed didn’t do much else that he could tell. For the most part however, Ardur spent his time examining his new home and the landscape below. Trying to figure out all the new sights and sounds of the creatures going as far to see if any of them moved when small pebbles were dropped on them from above. One thing was for sure, this cave was absolutely teeming with life of all kinds.

Today would make for another experiment. He could see the pool of water below his home and the slow waterfall that poured into it. Ardur had a strange urge to see how deep it was. Honestly he wouldn’t gain anything from it, but he thought it would be a fun thing to do. So keeping up with his flying skill he bobbed and weaved between the stalactites in the ceiling of the large cave. This was something he would do whenever he could.

Although being careful not to take the same path twice through the limestone maze to make it harder for predators. He also tried to train himself to be stronger and exercise. One would think gaining muscle would be hard for a pixie but it’s actually quite easy. To grow stronger muscles you must first tear them and break them down, so they can heal over with scar tissue and grow stronger and bigger. This normally takes months to have a noticeable impact. But, not when you can heal yourself. he wouldn't go as far as saying he was superman but there was a definite difference from day one.

However, it was time for the experiment. Ardur left his hollow and flew quickly along the ceiling. The fairy quickly spotted part of the experiment and stopped. A small blue crystal that he could easily dislodge and carry with him to the next spot. That spot being a small ledge above the dark pool. There wasn’t much in the way of insects or predators near his perch and the only things he could see nearby where more than a few creatures gathering around the pool. He waited for a little while longer before dropping the glowing crystal into the water and watched what would happen to it.
