Chapter 2: And I waited.....
So, you know Little Berry and Big Tim, thats why I am a smart rock. And to be honest, it was a little weird, well tremendously weird, soul numbing, and devouring, but it's fine. Its fiiiiineee. Ah, what's that Little Berry? How do I know I am a rock? Its because of my 'life's' experiences before I got here! You see, after my, um, union with the magma, I thought I deid and was never coming back to, at least in the mortal coil, but I did wake up.
It was really scary you know. I came to into darkness. I tried to open my eyes, but couldn't. I tried to move my arms, legs, body, and all the digits. Nothing. I tried to speak, to make a sound, but nothing came out. I thought I became a invalid. completely paralyzed, even unable to open my eyelids. To be honest, I panicked. I started to shake, or at least my mind thought my body did. I started to hyperventilate, then came to a horrifying realization. I couldn't breath. More Panic. Lots of it.
I don't really know how long I was in that state, at times I felt as if I was a hairs breath way from shattering into oblivion. But I didn't and eventually noticed that I didn't need to breath, not even in the slightest. I can even begin to describe how I felt after that. The denial of everything, the slow acceptance, and the long, long, long period of nothing but myself, my thoughts, and the all consuming darkness.
For what felt like two eternities I had no idea what was happening, and what I was, I almost even forgot who I was. In fact, as I was at that point is when something changed. I felt something. Not pressure, nor heat or cold, but the feeling of melting that snapped me out of it. Let me tell you, that was a unique experience. It wasn't painful, but it was alarming.
What was that Big Tim? Why was it alarming, well since you are just a rock that was always a rock, and not a human, you may not feel mortal peril, but I was and did. At first it was a softening which excited me. Maybe I was final able to move again! But the size and shape of the edges that were softening was odd and too small. And it continued till I started to stretch out thinner and thinner. At this point I was in a panic again and was trying to figure what was going on. All my thoughts were in vain, till a voice came to my mind. It was Professor Norton describing what can happen to rock in magma. As soon as this hit me, I became stunned. At least as much as a rock could become stunned. Luckily while I was stunned things changed again and I got reformed and solidified again, which hardend the thought of me becoming a rock.
Let me tell you two, I flipped out. No, not really Big Tim, buried in the earth we can't flip. Also, we are rocks, how can we flip, seriously. Anyway, after freaking out and exhausting myself mentally, I accepted it. What else could I do, I became a rock. Sigh, a rock. Eventually I just zoned out, became one with the earth, total Zen till I felt something enter into me, similar to the dentist's needle after numbing your jaw. No Little Berry I won't explain what a dentist or needle is, or again. at first I thought I was melting again, but what happen before didn't occur and it stopped fairly quickly.
This happened again, and again, five, ten, a thousand times till I suddenly was able to sense things around me. Don't know how, and I don't know what entered me, but i guessed it was what allowed be to 'see' around me. Which allowed to meet you too! And it has been about what 20 years since then, more or less, right?

Sigh, what am I doing.....I am a rock, talking to two different rocks. I even gave them names! Can I cry? Can a rock even cry? because I feel like I am. Ah, it's just some water running underground and over me
.....
.....
cry. Help me, someone.
Ah, thank you Berry, you are just like a comforting, cute sibling.
Oh, you too Tim. You are a solid support.....like a rock...
I'm sorry.
But don't worry Big Tim and Little Berry, I know you two will end up being great things one day! Maybe a part of a wonderful building or a piece of precious jewelry. Specially you Little Berry, from what I see, your practically glowing.
