random lore i wrote for my game

Long, long time ago, there were a city of praying mantis.

One day, a prophet told a prophecy of a giant "Rolling Stones" that will arrive in 30 years and destory the entire city.

The mantises panicked, some of them tried to come up with a plan to stop the rolling stone, some of them went crazy and started fires everywhere.

Even so, in the end, it was all in vain.

The mantises all gave up and accepted the "future".

The city became a land of grey, where everyone lived like a cog in the machine, waiting for the inevitable end.




This is the story of a mantis who refuse to accept this "future".

The mantis walked up to the stone, gathered his all strength, and pushed his arms against the stone.

The stone rolled over him.

When the mantis woke up, the stone was no where to be seen.

The mantis got up, his heart unwavered, and chased after the stone.

Day after day, the mantis attempted to stop the stone.

From 3 seconds to 3 minutes, from 3 minutes to 3 hours.

The wind howled, the storms raged, the sun rose, the moon set.

One day, a young mantis came up to the old mantis.

It said

"Idiot."

And It left.

The old mantis was hurt.

The stone could not move his heart, but a simple word broke his will.

The mantis already knew no one will support him, but when the "truth" arrived, it still hurts.

It took a long time, nonetheless, the mantis stood up from the ground once more, and headed to the stone again.



The day has finally come.The day that decides the future of all mantises.

If the stone gets past the mantis this time and head downs the slope, then it will be all over.

The mantis knew that despite all the time pushing the stone, it is very unlikely he wouild be able to stop the stone.

Even so, he gathered all his resolve, and walked towards the stone.

"Tonight, there will only be two outcomes, either the stone stops, or I die under the stone."



"Idiot."

The old mantis could not believe it.

He turned around,

and what he saw was,

the young mantis,

and an entire city of mantis behind him.

There were mantises, there were mages, and there were giant white robots.

And in front of everyone, is the young mantis.

"Everyone, now is the time for the final battle! Either we live with the city, or we die with the city!"

"The future of all mantises, will be decided by us! Not the gods, not the kings, but ourselves!"

"FORWARD!"

The end.
