Endor: episode #26 The Black-Orange Rock and Orange Rocks

Previously: The Group has had their race up the mountain. They were having a magnificent time…then Jed discovered the Wall of Lights and everyone has gone through them.

"Try and walk through it," suggests Calris.

He does and disappears for a minute, then comes back and says, "It's awesome! It's some kind of other place…I don't know how it's possible, but it's there."

Everyone follows him in as he goes in for a second time…when they are conscious of the fat that no one has moved or said anything, Waller breaks the ice by saying, "Well no one is here to greet us. Id don't know where we are…this is freaky. We should go back. We don't even know what this Wall of Lights thingy is!"

At this point, although they are unaware of it, The Wookiee has come out of the cave, safely protecting Yoda in his arms and moves closer. He can make out every single word they are saying. He doesn't make it known to them that he is around because he is scared of them. He doesn't know what kind of creatures they may be. He's never seen a human before. He listens. The others are in agreement, but not Sky.

"I want to explore."

Walker says, "but we don't even know where we are or what we're doing. We could be in danger! This could be a very dangerous place!"

Sky looks around for a few brief moments when her eyes fall on orange rocks.

She says, "What are those? They're beautiful!"

She rushes over to them without thinking anymore and reaches out to touch the biggest one. She jumps back, almost dropping the rock, but catches it.

"It's weird," she says. "It feels weird."

The longer she holds it, the more grayish it gets.

"It's losing color! Where is all the orange going?"

Suddenly other people are touching the rocks to examine them. They touch rocks of various sizes. There is only one rock each size…no rocks exactly the same size. Some people choose not to touch any at all. Walker is one of them. Jed however touches one of a slightly different color than the one Sky touched. There is as huge black-orangish color that is a totally different shade than any of the others. Jed did not touch the black-orangish one. NO one did. (By the way, the exact same thing that happened to Sky happened to everyone who touched a rock.) Soon, all the color was gone from all the rocks except the black-orange one. All the rocks were now gray, but that one.

"Hey," Cor recalled, "these rocks are now the exact same color as the ones on our side of The Wall of Lights. I bet those rocks used to be orange! "

Everyone realized his observation was correct. However, Walker wasn't really listening…he was tuned out. There as something really strange about that black-orange rock. It seemed to be beckoning him. He decided it was just silly and that it wasn't really calling him…that he was imagining it. He looked at the black-orange rock menacingly. He snapped back to reality when Sky tapped him on the shoulder.

"We have a problem," she said, "The Wall of Lights is gone!"

"What?" screamed Walker. "That can't be!"

He went to go see for himself and sure enough, it was!

"Now we're stuck here in this strange place! We don't even know where we are! We'd better have some weapons since we don't know what kind of creatures might be lurking around somewhere!"

He takes out his carving knife.

"I'm the one that got us here…it's my fault! I should have known better than to trust Id and Iot! How could I have been so stupid? And now we're stuck in some strange land. I got us here. The least I could do is build something to defend ourselves by. Here, someone give me a rock."

Someone hands him one of the gray used-up rocks. He puts the knife into it a little ways and quickly realizes that it's too brittle. He tries another gray one. It does the same thing. He soon realizes all the gray rocks are like that.

"Now what!"

He looks away in despair.

Until next time!
