A green village world with huts, water springs, fruits, honey bees and flowers and beautiful mountains with rocks and ancient trees with exquisite bark glowing in the dark.
The villagers are friendly creatures owning their special handicraft skills to create stones as pendants or tokens, this is the art they all do.
They live here for ages, in peace and respect, they are all very diverse in their abilities and appearances though their main ability is making up beautiful things. They carve, or better to say, the tap out ornaments on rocks and pebbles with sounds - so they make the runes which are very precious and valuable in the nearest villages for these rocks with runic symbols possess energy for charging water, for good sleeping and for nurturing ripe fruit trees.
A dweller of the village, Kaknikotu, a creature who lives with his grandmother Cackuhecka, former shaman of this village. He is a neat little master and his runic pebbles are among the most exciting in beauty yet they are not energetic enough. The villagers take him as an aspiring and a bit odd lad.
Once, when the monster comes to grab some food Kaknikotu decides to prove he is a good villager and attacks the monster.
He conquers the monster, he frightens him with a bee swarm and the latter flees. Kaknikotu throws a rock and it crashes the monster’s claw. Kaknikotu gets the claw as a reward.
Others are happy, they think they won and they celebrate. He's happy too but then he realizes that the signs on the claw couldn't have been made by the monster itself - someone did it. So, Kakotlaka suggests that there's someone who dwells with the monster.
