Unending

[YouKnowWho]

Thomas had no idea if he should believe the talking rock, but then again he just did the ultimate dream test, so the rock was probably right. "Well then Mister Rock, do you happen to have any idea on how to get home?" he said as pang of embarrassment went through him. It felt strange to be talking to some sort of magical rock. 

[wxps350]

"Yes. Allow me a moment..."

The rock glew orange again for a few seconds, before cooling down.

"I see now.

If you wish to go home, then travel north, and you will meet with a man who knows of...

The Door..."

[YouKnowWho]

Thomas decided that he should probably go north then. Before heading out though he asked the rock "Do uh.. you need to get home or is this your home?"

[wxps350]

"I am a rock. I am content wherever I am. 

however, I'm afraid that to overcome the deadly trials ahead, 

You will need a guide.

I will be your guide.

So yes, take me with you."

[YouKnowWho]

Thomas picks up the heavy rock, and begins trudging north.

[GuyNamedChris]

(So how about those shadow townspeople?)

[Battal]

(That's the question, isn't it.)

[Blewcheese]

(They took a break for tea.)

 

Two of the townsfolk leapt onto Vilsig, clinging onto him. The half decapitated being let out some ungodly shriek as the gray substance spilled from his wounds.

 

"Hm... No, that won't do. It needs to be freshly made, you see." The Illustrator shook his head as he examined the amulet.

 

"Just keep running and don't look back." Tiresias continued running away from the quickly spreading forest fire.

[Battal]

"M҉m̶mhm͘m̷,҉ d͡elic̨ío̡uś."  Vilsig smiles.  He twists the neck of his first assailant and tosses him off, then cuts off the second attacker's arms.

[GuyNamedChris]

"I really don't see a difference if it's brand new or not. Looks the same to me." Famen was sitting against a tree fumbling with his book.

[Silentdarkness1]

"............I smell something. An odd stench.....maybe...."

Sirus headed in the direction of the village.

"Alright.....fine. A fresh one. I'd need another gem, I think...."

[MenaAthena]

Kate wasn't paying attention to the odd smell or Tiresias' directions or anything else, she was just getting from the fire as fast as she could, desperately trying to ignore the sting of the smoke, the heat radiating onto her back, and the echoing screams of the trees. Every now and then flames would start to flicker on one of her arms, and she would immediately snuff it out with a hand.

Thomas kept walking, and eventually became exhausted, and he wished he had some sort of cart to put the magical rock on.

"I sense your exhaustion.

Sit on me."

[YouKnowWho]

Thomas didn't really know what to do, so he just did what the rock said. 

[GuyNamedChris]

(Seems like Thomas hit "Rock Bottom")

[wxps350]

As soon as Thomas sat down, he felt himself be filled with vigor and energy.

[Battal]

(I'm, uh, just not going to question this whole scenario.)

 

[GuyNamedChris]

(I've read enough hentai to know where this is going.)

[YouKnowWho]

Now filled with energy, Thomas stood up, began to say "How did you do that?", but decided that he already had gotten an answer earlier. He picked up the rocked and started sprinting North.

(Why do I feel tempted to write the rock a theme song?

I'm weird.)

(I know right??

... You're weird!)

[wxps350]

(At this point, I might as well just give the rock a bio

Name: A rock

Race: Rock

History: Rocks come from bigger rocks that broke down. Some rocks break into sand too, but these rocks are normal rocks.

This rock, however, is a funny-shaped rock, and has been outcasted from his rock village because it looks so funny. 

Personality: Rocks are wise and all-knowing because they sit around and do nothing, but because of that they are very detached from reality, and remain asleep.

Appearance: It is a basketball-sized piece of stone in the shape of a walnut. Sometimes it glows red.

Strengths: It is very wise and, being part of the earth, knows where anything touching the ground is. It is very hard to destroy, and if broken, it will simply turn into more rocks. Checkmate.

It can also provide warmth or cold and energy to those around it.

Weaknesses: It cannot move on it's own, and even then it is pretty heavy. It is also reclusive to reality, though is slowly awakening every day)

Judas grunted, and lied down. "Lemme know when she wakes up."

(How about making the rock be hot or cold? I'd like a talking IcyHot in Unending)

[YouKnowWho]

Thomas passes a tree that seems to have illegible chicken scratch on it. He then realized it was probably not a good idea to read it from ten feet away. Thomas didn't want to waste energy though, so he just kept going, and didn't mention the writing to his magical rock companion.
