The Story of Jade

The Story of Jade

I am Jade. Here is my story. I live in a land of giants. Strange giants. The colony of us needs to be carefully aware of their presence in addition to the giants of nature like water and soil and wind. I also have learned from my elders the skill of being still. This has saved me and many in my colony.

I found myself in one of my journeys where I discovered that giants have different level of giants which is different what I am. In my routine exploration for food, I climbed through land, water and green. On this warm day, I walked among unsuspecting giants, but staying alert so that I do not get stepped over.

Suddenly there was a big commotion of a group of giants, showing up in the far side. I hid myself behind a boulder and at the same time I stood still so that I do not get unnecessary attention. Two of the giants looking very agitated, pushed another giant on the ground. A puff of sand dust exploded around me.

After the dust settled, I could see a shadow of another giant hovering over me and standing near the grounded giant. Surrounding them were the agitated giants, some were making loud sounds and some were showing agitated faces. It looks like these giants had something to resolve between the standing ones and the grounded one.

Though surrounded, I could see that shadow giant lowering itself to the level of the giant on the ground. He began to move his mini tentacles on the ground and making strange grooves on the sand. The standing giants spoke and all of them began to pick up the boulders around them. It was as if they were going to throw these boulders at the two giants in the center. I could sense it with my head.

The next moment, I noticed the shadow giant making a stand, made some sounds as though telling the other giants something. Then he lowered himself once more. I could sense those sounds made a deep impression on the other giants. I have seen giants with shining things destroying our green, but this shadow giant did not use any and seems to have caused something to move inside these giants.

The next thing that happened alarmed me as I saw boulders falling. One by one of the giants have released their boulders and moved away and was out of sight. I could only see many many boulders on the ground now and only the shadow giant with the grounded giant.

The shadow giant once more made some sounds to the grounded giant and I could sense an atmosphere of relief and release. They eventually moved as well. As for me, it was also a relief as now I can move around freely once again, just that I have to move around those new monument of boulders.
