Rough Stone Rolling Novels & Stories

It wasn't very clear, but he could see the subtle movement of the water. Feeling that something was wrong down there, he stomped one of his feet and then BRAK! The floor of the surrounding cave cracked and shattered into shards of various sizes. Roul lifted one large piece and threw it down into the water. He could see the water swirling clearly, and the rock sinking in high speed as if something was sucking it in from the inside. To make sure what he saw wasn't an illusion, he took off his green robe then threw it away, and swoosh! The cloak disappeared without a trace.

Rajeev's face was alight with joy, his laughter mingling with Gnapika's as they strategized their next moves. Abhi paused, taking in the scene. The game was simple yet captivating, with rows of small pits holding the vibrant stones. Each player took turns picking up stones from one of their pits and distributing them one by one into the subsequent pits, aiming to capture more stones than the other. It was a game of skill, calculation, and a bit of luck, and it was clear that both Rajeev and Gnapika were deeply immersed in it.

I point out and he too homes in on it and watches as a breath of air stirs the wispy webs. Sharing a look, I knew we both had the same idea, “Together,” Oliver says, and we both lay our hands at the center of the cut-out piece and push as hard as we can. Oliver grunts with pain and I shoulder the resurgence of stone harder. We both push with all our might until we feel it give and a grumbling creek of hard rock vibrating around the small tunnel fills the void.

I said. “But that took multiple men to lift. That is no ordinary stone.” “Do we have it or not?” I asked. “We need to know how to work. I need to know how many men lifted it so you’ll see how strong I am as an individual. I am selling a product. You need to see me work before you can say my product is good.” We had a standoff before he waved for his men to move the stones. The massive stone pillars were brought in, so heavy it took ten wolves to move them.

"You learn more from touching than from looking." Adrian held out his hand. Noah placed the limestone in it. "Feel the surface," Noah said. "The specific texture. That's the microcrystalline structure expressing itself." He paused. "The crystals are too small to see. But you can feel where they create resistance." He paused. "That resistance is the staying quality." Adrian held the limestone. He felt the surface. He looked at it. He looked at Noah. "Yes," he said. "I can feel it."

Distraction. My wolf surged instantly beneath my skin. “Now.” I moved immediately. Dropping to my knees beside the loose stone, I jammed the sharp metal piece into the crack and started forcing it deeper with every bit of strength I had left. The stone shifted slightly. Not enough. I gritted my teeth harder and shoved again. Another distant shout echoed through the halls outside. More running footsteps. More confusion. My pulse raced faster. Come on. Come on. The stone finally cracked loose slightly.
