She took it to her master, but he didn't consider it a discovery, rather a simple and absolutely non-interesting rock. Kralla didn't agree with this opinion. To her the grooves were far too precise to be effect of random erosion. She began researching it, and soon the tablet became her obsession. Years passed, and she was nowhere near solving the mystery. From 'child prodigy' she became a 'freak' and 'waste of talent'.
One day she took the tablet back to the forest, to the place of it's discovery. She started meditating with the stone in her hands, and somehow fallen asleep. She was dreaming about distant places, so different from Tikkisa, where incredible things were happening. Strange, high creatures singing to crystals to grow them, short ones smithing metals of properties beyond imagination, beings capable of doing things, that she couldn't even name, with stone similar to the one in her hands... Suddenly, she felt flow of energy. The stone was draining her life force, and started to glow a bit. Kralla gasped. She clutched the stone in her hands, trying to find a way to empower it more, but she couldn't change the flow. Waiting for it to charge, she was trying to imagine, what it could do when it's powered. 'Could it create something? Or perhaps change? Maybe it can be used to help Prasi develop even further! Or it could be some kind of shield, so we won't have to worry about wild animals attacking our cities!'. But soon the stone has taken almost all of her anima, and she fell unconscious.
When she woke up, she was increadibly weak. She could hardly remember who she was. And then thought struck: 'Stone!' She looked around to find it, but something was wrong. She was in the forest anymore. It looked more like the inside structure of a living organism. She was sure she's not been eaten whole though, and it's not really alive thing, just some kind of a model or something. A heart, perhaps? And then she noticed the stone.
