After a minute of silence, Arthur finally spoke, "It's shiny."
Lostvayne responded, [Shiny it is.]
Celestia added, [Definitely shiny.]
The cave Arthur had come out of led into a vast hollow space, causing him to wonder if the entire surrounding mountain range was hollow.
Glancing to his left, he saw the hollow expanse stretching for several kilometres, confirming his suspicion.
"So, this entire mountain range is hollow inside, and within that hollow space, there's another mountain range."
Lostvayne agreed, [It's definitely a mountain range.]
Celestia added, [Regardless of what it's made of, it's surely a mountain range.]
The three of them stood silently, gazing at the shiny structure before them.
Shiny, indeed, because this mountain range was made of literal gold.
Not a natural lump of gold, but hundreds of thousands, possibly millions, of tiny golden trinkets piled so high they formed actual mountains several kilometres tall.
