Falkor made his way to the location given, his new client wanted him to explore a cave that was found near some ancient ruins, no one in their group wanted to go in there so he was called. He didn’t care much, they paid him a convincing amount, and the only thing they told him was “Don't touch anything” as if there was something valuable, it's just a dusty old cave.

He slowly made his way down making sure to keep an eye out for anything dangerous, to no one's surprise he didn't see anything. He spent an hour making his way through the cave, some cracks in the cave walls let in light but other than that he didn't see anything odd. Until he found his eyes getting blinded by a shine, he looked around and a small hole in the wall was shining, he wasn't sure why but something told him to dig it out. So he did just that, which was pretty easy, the wall crumbled with only a few hits and he saw three pieces of jewelry. They looked pretty valuable and since this wasn't part of the original cave, he decided to take it.

He slipped the bracelets on his hands and put the necklace on his neck, maybe they wouldn't notice them if he had them on. As he made his way back up the closer he got to the entrance the more dizzy he got, was he already getting tired?
“What is this guy doing with the jewels” he heard a faint voice behind him and he swung towards it, no one.
“Hello?...” he spoke quietly, his eyes darting around the cave that now gave him the chills. 

“Pfft do you think he heard you, he looks like he’s gonna pass out” another voice giggled as if making fun of him. He didn't see anyone but those voices were not in his head, at least he hoped they were not in his head.
“I swear you better get out here! Whoever you are!!” He yelled, his voice bouncing off the walls and back at him. 

“You guys stop! He’s upset!” another voice rang out sounding concerned. 

“Fuck this I'm getting out of here” he scrambled out of the cave as fast as he could, but in his hurry, he made a mistake, and slipped. The next thing he knew he fell and got knocked out. 




“You think he’s dead?” someone said as he felt a poke at his eyelid.

“If he is then maybe we can finally talk to someone new” another voice chimed in hanging on his horns. 

“Well, I hope he isn't dead that would be just awful don't you think” He realized it was the same voices he heard in the caves. 

“Falkor sir are you awake” He finally opened his eyes seeing his client in front of him. 

“Ough what happened” he rubbed his head feeling a massive pain in the side.
“You fell, did you find anything in the cave” Falkor remembered the jewelry that he had on, should he tell the truth and just give it over? Nah.
“No all I found down there was a massive headache, now where is the payment” he stood up carefully and stretched, he did not wanna spend any more time here than he had to. 

“Here this should be all the money, plus some extra for your uhm accident” Falkor carefully inspected it counted it multiple times, and let out a sigh of relief. Finally, someone who properly paid him.

“Then I'll be off” Just like that Falkor left and made his way back to his current home. 


When he finally made it back he looked in the mirror and saw three little wisps surrounding him. 

“What the fuck is that” Before he could even properly look at them a voice rang out in his ear. 

“BOO” which startled him and made him jump back bumping into some things he had lying around. He regained his composure and saw the wisps surrounding him, not just in the mirror. 

“You scared him bad” one of the whisps whined. 

“What is happening” he mumbled to himself feeling insane, he must be right. He’s listening to some random wisp things float and talk. 

“Listen Falkor, was it? You are the proud owner of cursed jewelry! Yup, those bracelets and necklace you stole are now permanently stuck on you, and we are the three spirits stuck in those jewels. I'm yellow, the jokester over there is pink and the quiet one is blue” It spoke confidently as if this isn't new to the three. 

“Those are your names???” yeah it's a weird question to ask but they were just named after what color they were.
“Those are the names we remember” Blue chimed in. He sighed and decided that he was way too tired to deal with this right now, he needed to sleep.

“Well we can talk about this more in the morning would you guys be alright with me sleeping” he wasn't sure how these spirits acted, if they were nice or mean, and if they wanted anything. 

“Be our guest we also get tired so we’re gonna rest in the gems, see ya” Yellow said as they all retreated to their respective jewelry. Tomorrow was gonna be one hell of a shit show.
