HOLY CRAP!
A long long time ago, in a valley far away, the most important event in known history was about to take place.
Chakra laid down in the grass, he was looking at the sky, dozing away after having eaten his belly full, suddenly he started feeling a strange vibration, this vibration quickly intensified until it seemed that the earth itself was dancing beneath him, Chakra rose and looked around, far above him he saw something unique, a great ball of fire with a trail of black smoke was falling from the heavens, Chakra was frozen in sheer terror, he could not run or turn away from looking to that awesome view. The Fireball crashed into the ground and the earth shook like never before, the tremor that Chakra was feeling before was nothing in compare, but now also a loud sound joined, the sheer power of which made Chakra cover his ears with his hands, something he never had done before in his life.
As the sound and tremors vanished Chakra was still looking at were the fireball had crashed, the black trail of smoke was still very clearly visible, but now also a plume of brown dust rose from were the fireball struck the earth, Chakra felt the irresistible urge to start running towards it, he ran for hours until the light failed, he then stopped and slept until light came back and began running again, the black trail of smoke and the brown plume had faded but now black smoke rose from the area so he ran the whole day in its direction, stopping to drink or eat only when food and water crossed his way, again light failed and he slept, and again light came back, he woke and he ran.
The third day Chakra ran for many hours, as the first half of the day had barely passed he began to see something he had never seen before, all trees were smashed to the ground, all facing the same direction, it was a sight to behold, it looked as if a giant had laid down to sleep, flattening everything under him. The further he went the more strange sights he saw, flocks of birds, all dead and lying in the same area, herds of animals, dead in the spot they were standing when it happened, as he went even further everything looked as if it was licked by a flame, charred on the exterior but still green and at times alive on the inside.
Finally Chakra arrived, the massive crater still felt warm, Chakra could see that some things were still smoldering, he looked and he realized that he could barely make out the other side of the crater. “What could have done this?” he said to himself, he then slowly made his way down wards, trying to reach the centre of the crater, the way was hard but by nightfall he arrived, it took him two and half days but he was there.
Chakra was exhausted, he had been running for the better part of two days, barely eating or drinking, he felt like sitting down and never stand up again, but something drove him to continue, he looked at what seemed to be the exact centre of the large crater, something laid there, he could feel the heat radiating from it, he tried to grab it but it whatever it was still far too hot, he sat down and looked at it for a while until exhaustion got the best of him and he fell asleep.
That night strange visions visited him, he dreamt of a gigantic creature living on the clouds, he saw him squat with his buttocks over the side of the clouds as if he was going to defecate, then suddenly the great ball of fire shot down from out of the heavenly creature’s buttocks and he saw himself looking at it as it crashed down to earth, he then saw himself running towards it and suddenly being there, he saw how he took from the centre of the crater a strange, heavy, brown rock, sitting with it in his lap and looking at it, then suddenly from out of the rock a head like shape took form and then the shape spoke.
“Lo, Chakra, thou hath been chosen by the gods
Thy tribe art the chosen ones, the gods favorite children
Thou shalt return home and bring the word of the gods to the tribe
Thou shalt lead them to the promised land
That is thy mission and thy only reason to live
The gods shall instill thee with the wisdom of the ages now gone
Thy shall teach all how the Gods created all that exists
Thy shall tell all that as long as they worship the Gods they shalt remain gods favorite children
Thou shalt carry this heavenly Turd with Thee
Thou people shall worship this relic, for thou people were shaped from them
Thou shalt be the keeper of the Holy Turd
Now go! The gods have spoken!
Follow the sunset! Lead thy people to the promised land!”
Chakra awoke, his body ached, his throat was parched and his head felt like someone was hitting it with a stick at every heartbeat, but he felt purpose, he knew exactly what had to be done. He walked to were he expected the heavenly body to lay and indeed there it laid, it looked somewhat different from what he saw in his dream, it certainly was bigger, but it did not matter to him, he was certain of what had to be done, he grabbed it, it was still quite warm, he lifted it to his shoulder and began walking back home.
It took him a whole day to climb back out of the crater, his body was reaching the limits of what it could do, but his blind faith drove Chakra to continue, at first he ate the charred animal carcasses he found along the way and drank from whatever streams he encountered, the Holy Turd was heavy and cumbersome but at no point he even pondered leaving it behind, he soon realized that it would take quite a while before would find his clan and so he was forced to actively hunt and seek water, in the end it took him almost a month to track down the place were his clan had migrated but in mattered not, for now his work had just begun.
His clansmen were amazed to learn he was still alive, they though he might have either been killed or he left to found his own clan, without even stopping to drink something or rest for a minute he immediately called for a meeting of the elder clansmen, while unusual it was not unique for a non elder to call for a meeting, it usually happened to resolve squabbles between clansmen.
The Elders convened, all eyes were set upon Chakra, eagerly awaiting for what he had to said that needed the presence of all elders.
“BEHOLD!” Chakra shouted, raising the Holy Turd to the sky
“The gods have spoken!”
“I have been chosen by the gods to lead us to the promised land!”
“Chakra! Stop shouting you lunatic, what nonsense is this you? Have you fell from a cliff head forwards?” an elder said
“NO!” Chakra continued shouting
“The gods have spoken to me!”
“They sent me a vision and instilled me with the holy wisdom of ages now gone!”
By now a crowd was gathering to see what the hell was going on
“Chakra, calm yourself down and stop shouting, tell us what you saw” the elder replied
And so Chakra lowered the Holy Turd and after a few seconds of silence sat down, he began telling them his tale, starting from the rain of fire that all saw, to what he encountered in his quest for the holy turd.
The elders were skeptical, Charka barely allowed people to touch the relic, though even by just looking and feeling it they could see that it was no mere rock, the surface was fairly smooth and felt cold to the touch, it was also quite heavier that usual rocks, but still this strange thing alone was not enough for them to be convinced. Chakra then spent many weeks spreading the words of the gods, he was gaining followers and as the time passed more and more clansmen supported him, from time to time Chakra also sought guidance from the gods, he fasted until his body was pure enough to allow him to hear the will of the gods through visions.
Within a year the Clan stood firmly behind Chakra and so they started to migrate westwards, following the sunset into the unknown, sure that one day they would reach the promised land.
