The Tale of The Ambers

Another

"I continued my solitary trek for an indefinite amount of time, but it felt quite long.

My experience about the world surrounding me grew as I simply looked and observed. I saw how other creatures, the organics, played with each other, the things that they did, and also, their deaths. I was saddened by it and watched the creatures cover them and walk up, or leave them to rot. I saw how some creatures feed off of others, like vines on trees, or some types of water things, acting as parasites. I saw how others would fight each other for dominance. Many times I would find myself thrown into a duel with one creature or the other, and I would often win. My strength was superior to almost anything that challenged me, and for the most part, the animals that I saw would ignore me, I was a spectator to their lives, a creature unusual to them, but since it was doing no harm, they chose to ignore me. 'Nature takes care of itself, and whatever I am, I'm not natural.'

One day, I was walking along a deep forest, and suddenly a thing crashed out of the trees and let out a cry sounding like a high pitched whine, similar to my voice, which I had yet to discover, but back then it was awful! Whatever hearing organs I had hurt so much, but when it stopped I got a proper look at it. It appeared like me in the fact it had a torso and a head, but that is when the resemblance stopped. It was almost a head taller than I was, and was metallic in texture, its skin reflecting off the sunlight. It walked on three legs, its neck stretched out immensely, and it had two mouths, which both had jagged teeth. Seven eyes, all in a row, nested within its large brow, and while it didn't have a nose, two holes on either side of its head were churning out steam every time it exhaled. It had four very large and lanky arms, two dangling at its side, and two raised in a combination of both fear and anger, all ended in six fingered claws.

It bellowed again and ran at me. I was scared, I jumped high up into a tree over a body of water, and I thought it couldn't get me. How naive. It crouched and jumped even higher, pulling itself up with its surprisingly strong arms. It sniggered at me, and lunged, I raised my hands to defend myself-

"Why did you stop?" Spinel called out from where she was perched.

"Hang on, it was some minor interference," Jeremejevite replied, "I'll just let it tune back on... There we are... Okay, so 'I raised my hands to defend myself...

But it never came, when I decided to open my eyes, I saw both of its mouths, but it was caught in a rock of some kind, and when I saw it better, it looked very similar to the rock in my forehead. I looked to where it came from, and saw that the tree apparently shot it out from several branches and the trunk. The weight of it caused the smaller parts to break off, and the creature tumbled into a lagoon that was below the branch I was on. I then pulled myself back over land and blacked out.

When I awoke, I saw a bipedal figure standing over me, and when I looked closer, I saw it was orange, but most shockingly, I saw it had a rock in its torso.

"Ay, get over here, I think they're awake!" it called out.

Another figure approached them, and stared at me, "Why, 'e looks just like us! Who would've thought, I assumed we were the only ones!"

I stared in confusion and pulled myself up. They were dressed in much more interesting clothing than what I was wearing. The one I had first scene looked to be wearing a flower crown of some kind, and was wearing a short accessory on their torso that covered most of their chest and part of their arms, but a short piece of fabric resembled a flower on their waist (I later learned that it was a 'skirt') , barely covering of a pair of what resembled short pants, similar to the ones I was wearing. They were also wearing a band around their waist and a sash around their right shoulder. Their hair was a faint orange, and was braided, with the hair swung over their right shoulder. They appeared more... feminine... compared to the other one. I decided to call this one, Ambrosia, and the other one Aamber. 'Aamber', the other one, had a band covering their forehead. Their hair was much shorter then mine or Ambrosia's, cropped around their head and the front pointing outward in a spike. They was wearing a garment similar to the one Ambrosia was wearing, except it was tight around their chest and covering all of it (T-Shirt). Their muscles were more prominent as well. They were wearing pants around their legs and what appeared to be boots. They had an X on his torso, and their rock was, their right eye? I didn't question it, I just stared at them, and they stared back, I hoped their intentions weren't to damage my rock... but only time would tell, so we just looked at each other...
