[QUOTE="megamania, post: 936406, member: 9255"] UNDER A DARKSUN SEGMENT 072 “Standing Stones In a Circle” There were eight of them. Big, strong and tough looking. Each stood at least ten feet tall even with leaning over the smaller one. Mania walked right up to the closest one and touched it. The stone was rough and seemed cooler than it should be. “What are they Cosa?” “Ritualistic structures. Old ones from the look of them.” Cosa now came up to them also. “Some say these circles were used to call on spirits and elemental forces. Doesn’t look like anyone has used one in awhile.” She tentatively enters the circle to look at the other side of the large stone monolith. “I expect the forest has several of these hidden. They are also said to draw druid attention. There could be one, maybe several, watching us now.” She looks over her shoulder knowing this will make Mania watch and stare in paranoia at the surrounding forest. “What do they do? Especially the little guy in the center?” asks Mania. He has come to have an interest in ancient history he never knew he had until meeting Cosa. “I’m just guessing but the larger stones either act as conduits or protection for the smaller one. The smaller in the center could have been anything from a place of power to a place to sacrifice living creatures.” “You’re kidding right? I thought only Drajjian folk did that.” “Did what?” “Sacrifice living things…people even to appease a non-existing god.” “Are you sure gods don’t exist or didn’t once exist? The beliefs are strong with many. Some scholars feel divine magic is really psionic in nature. I can’t say I agree. I would like to think there is someone or something out there.” = I would like to think this also = comes a voice from no where. Mania glows as he powers up psionically and Cosa grasps her staff with both hands ready to lash out. They see no one. = I mean no harm. I sense no malice in either of you. Please…continue. I enjoy hearing you talk = “Where are you?!? Show yourself.” Exclaims Cosa expecting a druid to step out of no where. Mania just hopes it is not an undead spirit. = hahahahaha…undead spirit. You think funny thoughts young warrior = Mania glances at Cosa pleading for support. Cosa is too busy backing away from the center of the circle to notice him. “I ask again…show yourself.” The very ground outside of the circle begins to mass up. It resembles a humanoid shape but with stones, grasses and mushrooms protruding from it. Deep shaded areas look like possible twin eyes and a mouth. = I am Dassassavern = Mania is speechless. Cosa is in shock and awe. “You…you…you’re a…” = Spirit of the Earth = “oh god” she whispers to herself Mania, being he, looks at her then at him. Seeing no threat but sensing the tension he replies “Come here much?” = hahahahahahahah = [/QUOTE]
