and maybe appease the mods for my last post... which was for fun but i guess posts like those would create more trolls XD
There once was a temple of the xel naga that was home to many creatures, all living in harmony. One day they found a larvae among them. Nobody knew when and where it came from but because of their teachings of accepting all creatures they let it stay and perhaps learn of their ways.
Now the larva was also confused, wondering where it was at, why it there and who it was. For it did not remember anything but waking up in the middle of a temple with strange robotic creatures looking at it.
As it tried to communicate with them, all he could muster was squeaks and squawks, nothing understandable to beings around him. Nor could it understand anything that strange creatures were saying.
The creatures simply looked confused but did not seem threatening as they gestured at it. The larvae didn’t really know what it meant but it seemed like they wanted him to follow. Seeing as there was not much else he could do at the time he decided to follow the strange creatures where ever they were heading. It was lead to a little room with not much but a bed of hay. As the larvae contemplated what this room was for the weird robotic beings seemed to be telling it that this is a place where he could stay. Not too shabby looking thought the larvae as it slowly wiggled into the hay to try to get comfortable in this strange but friendly looking place and slowly nodded back off to sleep.
The residents of the temple thought maybe this one is different, maybe we could change his future for the better. Maybe we should put it into the school with the rest of the children and perhaps it can learn of their ways.
As the morning sun burned upon the little room the larvae was in he felt a strange tingling sensation upon his body. What he saw was something like a floating camera with spikes and a blue stripe on its back zapping him with his some sort of laser. It would zap the larvae then move out and come back to zap it again after it seeing the larvae not moving. The larvae thought perhaps he wants me to follow him?
So the larvae wiggled out of the hay stack and followed the camera with spikes around which eventually led him to what looked like big room with many creatures within it. They seemed to all be looking in a similar direction towards the front of the room where there was a giant piece of wall popping out of the rest of the wall. It didn't look like the rest of the wall as it was white and had squiggling lines on it. Beside seemed to stand a tall figure pointing at this piece of wall with the rest of the strange creatures looking to where he was pointing. This was all very confusing to the larvae but soon it got more confusing as all of the strange creatures approached him.
Feeling a little insecure as all the strange creatures approached it, it tries to hide behind the floating camera thing to no success for the larvae was bigger than the floating camera. The strange creatures seemed to make noises at him but it could not understand as all it sounded like to it was a mumble of noise.
The strange creatures them seemed to mumble amongst themselves and them took out a metal rectangle thing. On it there seemed to have pictures on their. Along with the picture the strange creatures also seemed to be repeatedly making the same noises. Curious to see what was in the metal rectangle the larvae poked out from behind the floating camera and tried to get a closer look. What it saw was what seemed to be him surrounded by the strange creatures. They did not look threating in the picture but in fact looked happy to see him almost welcoming him, and below the picture there were a bunch of squiggly lines that made out to look like “Welcome”. Now even though the larvae didn’t know how to communicate it was pretty obvious to him that those squiggly lines and the repeating of the sound must have meant the same thing, Welcome.
The larvae feeling safer now decide to move further into the odd room. The strange creatures upon seeing this seemed to be pleased and most headed back towards where they were sitting before.
Zap zap. He felt the tingling sensation again and turned around to see the floating camera also had a metal rectangle. On it was a picture of the floating camera and below it had some squiggly lines that looked like “Probe”. He assumed that it was the floating camera’s name. And although he didn’t know what it sounded it he could now put a name to the floating camera. Probe then started zapping him again this time the larvae felt like he was being shoved a little towards a direction that headed towards an empty spot in the room. I guess that’s my space thought the larvae as he made his way towards it.
As the larvae sat there at the empty spot he was confused still about what was going on. But it seemed like Probe was there to help. As every time the larvae looked towards him he’d pull up his metal rectangle and have some new squiggles on it. Not that the larvae could understand what it meant but eventually certain squiggles started re appearing. It seemed the most common squiggle that appeared on the metal rectangle was “Friend”. The larvae thought about how Probe was trying to help him and even though he couldn’t understand it how the probe kept trying.
The larvae thought to itself I wouldn’t mind a friend like him. Maybe these squiggles that he kept seeing meant friend as well. So the larvae used its tail to carve the same squiggles on the ground and showed it to Probe. Probe seemed to react very happily to what larvae just did and the larvae thought, those squiggles I guess must have meant friend. The noise created by the probe drew in the rest of the strange creatures who upon looking at the squiggles that the larvae made also seemed to be pleased.
And so for that day the probe would show him new squiggles and put them next to certain objects. “ROCK” was put next to rocks and “TREE” was put next to trees. And slowly the larvae learnt certain squiggles for certain words throughout the day.
As the night seemed to encroach upon the day, Probe finally leads the larvae back to his house. And then shows it one last squiggle as it heads pushes the larvae into the room and heads back towards his home. The larvae thought what a good place this is, arriving out of nowhere and not even being able to understand each other I have already made a friend. And so with that thought in mind, the larvae drifted off to perhaps some happy dreams.
