 White Moonstone walked into the nice sizable home of his friend Dougal. Inside up on the walls were posters saying "The Truth Is Out There" and "I Love Bigfoot". Others had what looked like to White Moonstone a saucer-shaped ship on it and another with a small green man. He raised his eyebrow in confusion, he hadn't heard about any animals on Earth that looked like these. Dougal walked out in front of him with a big smile.

"You like my house" he started "I've been getting a bunch of new posters recently, as you can see I'm quite partial to aliens"

"Oh is that what that green man is?" White Moonstone asked.

"Yeah have you never seen an alien before?" Dougal asked.

"Well I am one, and my friends are too" Dougal's smile disappeared and an awkward silence filled the room.

"Well Moonie," Dougal tried to pick up the conversation again, "There's a bunch of other cryptids too not just aliens that I like" Moonie stayed quiet.

"I'm assuming you don't know what a cryptid is," Dougal said.

"No I've got no clue," White Moonstone said. To his surprise though Dougal smiled and rushed off into another room. White Moonstone walked over to a couch in the living room and sat down.

Dougal rushed back into the main room of the house and walked over to White Moonstone with a book in hand. He sat down next to Moonstone and handed the book to him.

"This is a book of a bunch of cryptids all around the world," He began, "They're essentially these monsters that only a few people have seen"

"Are they real?" White Moonstone asked as he opened the book.

"Oh yes very real, I went to the US on a vacation and went on a hiking trip in California" Dougal beamed with excitement as he spoke. "I saw Bigfoot fifty yards away from me. He was crouched on the ground eating berries he found. It's what made me get into finding out more about these creatures" Dougal finished with a smile.

"Well you can also check off seeing an alien from a faraway planet" White Moonstone grinned.

"Believe me I was completely awestruck when I first saw you, I always knew aliens were real and now you're here and can confirm," White Moonstone chuckled and flipped through some more pages.

From the Fresno Night Crawler to Mothman there seemed to be a never-ending list of monster and creatures from all around the world. As he turned the page though he saw a crude drawing of some monster in the sea. Looking closer his eyes went wide. He threw his head back laughing loudly. Dougal looked at the page and seemed confused.

"Moonie I don't get it, sailors saw this monster are their boats way long ago, there are so many accounts of people seeing it " Dougal tried to defend.

"You don't understand," White Moonstone said wiping one of the tears that had welled up from how much he was laughing. "I am that monster," he said with a proud grin.

"What! But that looks nothing like you Moonie. You're so small compared to this. How could you be a big sea monster"

"Gems fuse, which is basically forming together to make a bigger version of us. That's just me and my friends" White Moonstone explained. "Wait, do they have my sea puns in this?" He said as he went to read the book closely. White Moonstone and Dougal spent the day together going over the book with White Moonstone telling the story of being Hawk's Eye Quartz.
