The Silence of Stones

They can speak, the stones. They could tell stories of the world before green growth, before soft organic beings wandering around. They could talk of veins of magma, hearts of fire, spirit of magic so old that it needs no name.
They remember sensing the movement on their surface, the new shapes, the curiosity. They remember the Plan, the creation of forms that could communicate with these strange, soft things. They remember how they were cut loose, these drops of old stone and energy, separated from the whole; now mobile, individual, alone.
They know some day the Children of the Stone will return to them and teach them about the lights and sounds, soft creatures and fast-living beings. Fast-dying beings. Until then the Stones stay silent in their vigil, silent in their long wait and slumber.

Fallen Gods Inc. 11th Anniversary Festival is almost over, although there’s still activities and events such as the Ice Olympics and Noobcon left. One of the things leaving Selidor at the end of October is the Fortune Teller, where you still can win a complete avatar Opus for free, by simply finding your match and sitting with them to listen to Teller’s ultimate wisdoms. A red ruby version of the avatar is for sale in the market on the store’s rooftop, and an amethyst version of the skin is a reward in the Quasar Hunt (also ending on the last of October). All this to say that if you haven’t visited Selidor and the various Anniversary activities and events yet, now’s the time!

More information and previews about Opus.

Teleport to Selidor.

The Golem Runes

The runes called to me. I could hear them in my slumber, the shift of colours, the pulse of light, the gathering of energies.

They called to me, awakened me, shaped me. I could feel their melody singing new forms to life, drawing new lines, connecting them, giving them thought, purpose, spirit.

When I withdrew from stone I could still feel them. Each spark of colours pulsed magic in my veins, responded, conversed, connected. I did not know much of the world outside the runes, but my understanding of their secrets filled me, made me a living being. Separate, moving unit. A part of something bigger.

They kept singing to me, the runes. They kept singing and as they did, my veins pulsed to the melody, my limbs moved with it and slowly, steadily, I found my ability to move. Ability to live. To dance.
