xRock story by Annkan

By a campfire while on route to fight the Yragon the party started telling each other stories. Dr. Wise told the story of the pages of xRock that they might find in the ancient ledger.  ​

​"Eons ago there was a yalactic war in the xedrock region of the Yoniverse. A rift had opened in space and in came wretched Yapacatas, hunting for any creature perceptible by their four senses. They would stun their prey with poison darts that went flying from the tiny holes alongside the arch of their brows. They were not driven by hunger for flesh but of a will to own the minds and ambitions of every living creature. The poison in the darts also carried parasites that made the host passive, feeling a great need to spend all of their time and resources building monuments for the Yapacatas.

The desperate Yonians fleeing this region gathered in the temples of Yonius and searched through the ancient ledger to find someone that could aid them in their peril. Many had come with their armies but the poision darts pierced every ally and the will of the yalaxy diminished day by day. Kiira was a brave young Yonian joining the survivours on Yonius. She was researching the ledger when her orange jello finger stopped dead. The page she had open told the story of the ‘Rock oracle’ located on the planet of Furies. It had fallen from the sky many years ago and was a living creature in a deep slumber. A sentinent creature without skin. The Yonians quickly sent out a scouting party to find the rock, teary yellow eyes watched them leave, hoping that they would find a salvation.

When the Yonian scouts arrived on the dusty red planet of Furies there was a sandstorm. They pushed on through the desert into a cave. The ledger illustrated a lush cave and the oracle situated on a pilar which was almost identical to the sight that lay before them. The rock was cold and almost seemed dead to the Yonians. As Kiira touched it they heard a rumble from deep within the planet. When it died down the Yonians watched the rock with anticipation. Was this the saviour they were looking for? They waited for a while but nothing else happened. As the scouts started panicking that this had been a dead end Kiira feelt a surge of anger.

As she punched the wall the other Yonians gasped. Behind her rocks, smaller but identical to the ‘rock oracle’ was floating mid-air. As she surged her hand forward they followed in that same direction and smashed into the wall. ​ The other Yonians tried to gain the same power and quickly realized that they would recieve it by touching the rock. Many Yonians and allies now travelled to Furies to get ready for a final battle against the Yapacatas. The powers of telekinesis and summoning of rocks would greatly help them in the quest to regain the xedrock region."

Yaslax wanted to hear the rest of the story but Dr.Wise said the final pages had not been found. Maybe they would discover the rest of the story if they could recover the ancient ledger.
