I am Wigglee. This is my story. I dwell in the dark most of the time as that is where I am most safe. The time I see light is where I am near the surface to seek out food and green to munch. I also check that I do not get spotted by any of my predators and end up in their tummies. Also I am careful not get caught by the giants who are not aware of our presence and stomp on us.
On a special occasion, I witnessed a strange happening. I was seeking through the deep and once day found myself in a very cool room. On occasions, I saw giants coming into the room and they laid a big white boulder on a certain rock platform. And then they rolled a giant slab of rock to close up the room. Oh! How I enjoyed the coolness of the environment.
Besides enjoying the coolness, a scent began to develop in the room. It was the smell of decay. I have come across on many occasions the dead carcasses of animals. And so I am quite familiar with this kind of scent. It was coming from the big white boulder. The scent became even more intense as long as I remember. Then a strange thing happened.
The slab of rock was rolled off. I hid away in case those giants come in again and stomp on me. The light from outside shone into the room. I could feel the warmth coming in and the scent dispersing out to the open. I saw many shadows of giants outside the room and there seems to be a commotion out there.
I moved slowly to the side of the room so that I do not get rolled over and at the same time, try to catch the sight of what is going on outside. There was numerous giants and mostly were in black outfits. But for one, the giant was in white. He looked very saddened in his countenance, a giant who seems familiar with sorrow. They were even water crystals flowing out of the eyes.
The white giant stood in the front of the opening of the room and said something, with his hands lifted up, as if commanding something or someone from the room within. Then the big white boulder moved and the arms were stretched and there was this giant who seems to have been awakened by the call of the white giant.
There the giant awakened. The scent of deadness was gone. The expressions of the surrounding other giants have brightened up suddenly. It felt as if a miracle has occurred and they were amazed. Two woman giants were especially delighted by the awakened giant and held him in their arms. It seems like their sorrow and sadness have turned into joy and delight as they walked back to their city with the white giant.
As for me, I decided to get back into the darkness and seek out other places so as not to get caught by such mysterious happenings and also avoid being in the light too long. You know how easily we can become food in the light. As I moved deeper, I wondered what the white giant said that awakened the boulder giant. Who was this white giant?
