vake shows khic what she did. khic was interested and had to question if she can do something different with different scribbles, checking the scribble, he carved the symbol into a piece of wood for later use .vake then gingerly makes the symbol in the air with the stick in a wand-like motion(why?..wouldn't you?), and a small fireball about the size of a head happens. when she flinches, it is thrown out of the tent and lands with a "bfwoosh". khics eyes light up at that turn of events.
DADADADAAA~ THEY GOT: SMALL FIREBALL, AKA: camp-fire. [ps, only you see this, reader, not them. the status system for them is a long time away, partly because THEY CAN'T READ.HAHA!]
after others begin to gather around the scorched earth. she started telling everyone what happened in their tent and did a demonstration, but she took note on how the fireball looked smaller than in the tent. she steps closer to their tent and trys again, the fireball was a little bigger., After a pause, she blurts out "the purple bolder!" She then speculates that the purple rocks enhance whatever happened.
. the people began scampering to find the purple stones that started all this, now called "wish-stones" after they collected at least 1 each from streams, forests and just wherever. they all decided to keep them on their persons, because fire is for starters a precious thing, and being able to make it on a whim appeals to them, some of them, it was easier than others to make fire like magic, but they all liked the stones, but they looked a little dull. some ask if they can carve something into the stones, then they all remembered the part where the duo saw something in the hole and thought of honouring the thing with carvings and wearing the stones. thinking it as some powerful spirit that bestowed upon them power and brainpower unrivalled.. as well as intense sexiness.
Stolen from Royal Road, this story should be reported if encountered on Amazon.
the tribesmen begin carving their version of what they thought vake and khic saw, them varying between size, personality and sex, some making their stone talismans seem angry, while others made theirs kind, or mischievous. some looking bulky, while others slim. one made the wish-stone he got into a spearhead with an ornate design depicting a beastly humanoid, thinking of the bigger hunts ahead. after taking a moment, khic notices that the others are showing a trait that they don't have a word for yet: imagination, and begins thinking of ways to use it for a more direct boon to his people. calling on memories of his more simpleminded days. taking note of times hunts were prolonged due to spears not working on the prey. he got it, he'll make new weapons![he used the words "death tools" though. they only had knives and spears before]
khic gets to work making plans for a few new weapons because the lack of variation for tactics that can be done with just spears and knives, he drew up plans for a choppy stick; with just a sharp edge with no point, a paddle with many pointy parts at the rim; and a big hit-y stick for breaking bones; which is a larger version of the hit-y sticks they use for their tents. all will involve stone. including a particular stone he plans to put on something special for his beloved vake.
