Valley of Kings Prompt Storage

"So what are we looking for again? A glowing rock?" Degotoga begged with a risen brow. "I've never heard of rocks glowing before." 

"I know, but that's what Kwatoko said he found." Jehozadak stated with a shrug of his shoulders.

"Why do we all have to go again?" Wematin begged shortly after. He sounded innocent enough. It was quite normal for Wematin to ask such odd questions. He was an insoniti, he was supposed to know just why they were all going along, but he was known to be forgetful sometimes. It never hurt to ask, and it never hurt to be reminded.

"Because, Wematin, Kwatoko said he found something new and different. Something never seen within the territory before. When that happens, we're all obligated to go and see what it is. Every insoniti must go and investigate if it is something we have never seen before. By the sound of it, this thing is a decent size, so the more of us, the better." Chayton explained.

"Oh... Well, okay, then... Is it living? Is it dead?" The white male continued to ask. Jehozadak just sighed.

"We don't know, Wematin. We won't know until we get there... and, by the looks of it, we're here now."

"Guys! Over here, quick!" Kwatoko called out, back hunched just slightly as he looked over, what looked to be, a pile of rocks... although something seemed to be glowing on the inside of it. The four other insoniti quickly wandered over to look upon such a thing, soon observing it themselves. Wematin seemed to poke at it while Jehozadak sniffed about it. Chayton observed the odd thing from a distance while Degotoga seemed to poke at the glowing runes on the flatter surface, the large, flat stone surrounded by much smaller stones. 

"It appears it's been here for a while. They're rocks, after all." Dego commented.

"Yes, but we've never stumbled across it before. Have we just never been to this neck of the woods before?" Jehozadak begged. "It doesn't make sense. We've been just about everywhere in these woods. These are our woods."

"That may be so, but keep in mind, this is a large forest." Chayton reminded them, his maroon-esque gaze looking to each one of them before his gaze settled upon Degotoga. "Do you know if we have any history or documentation of such a place as this?" 

The male shook his head. "Not that I'm aware of, but I could go back and check with Chosovi. She should know where records would be kept." 

"Good... For now, we will leave it as is. We will check with Chosovi on records. Whether or not nothing is found, we will return and further our investigation. For now, let us return home." Chayton commanded. It was at that point, the remaining insoniti followed their makisa back home.

And that was how they found out the stone was a teleportation stone! They can visit prides in far off lands. Perhaps there are more of them out there, too.
