Hallucination Caves Altar

Corbin made his way to hallucination caves with mom.  She had helped him make his present and he was sure proud of it.  The small pup had only recently been allowed out of the cave den they’d grown up in until now and it had been a wild little life so far.  The boy had his fill of rock candy sugar rushes and hallucinations from all the gases.  For a child who already had a wild imagination, it added on a whole other level of brightness to his life.  Corbin wanted to share the fun he was having with this statue which was apparently the reason for it.

Living at the falls there were plenty of rocks to decorate with and he’d spent a good portion of a day finding all the ‘best’ rocks in the child's mind.  There was plenty of quartz and he was sure to choose pieces that were almost all of the shiny portion, none of the regular rock’sh look to it.  He also found smooth black stones.  

The boy showed off his prized gift to the statue and familiars.  It consisted of a small clay pot that had been decorated with bright blue and yellow die.  Using his paws the boy had tried to make flower-like images with the dyes.  Large thin black river rocks were stuck to the fat edges of the clay pot and used like support beams.  Cuts had been carefully made in the top edges to support a large piece of quartz, with smaller quartz rocks on top of it.  Inside the pot a small fire burned.  The fire brightened up the quartz and caused various colors to bounce off it into the cave.  The colors shifted about as the flames lit up different parts of the quartz.

“I hear you are the reason I get to see fun things.  My sheep was dancing once and it wasn’t even there! I love it.  I thought you might like this too.  It’s fun, right?  I worked really hard on it for you to say thanks!” The boy offered the item with the innocent joy so often reserved for the naïve young.  The clay pot had a handle made into it so that one could lift it with, with the fire lit Corbin was extra careful as he placed it before the statue.  “Please don’t ever leave!”
