Hive Mind in Children of Stone!
In this segment, the nature of the Hive mentality of the Children of Stone is explored by Marai and his beloved Naibe-Ellit.
"When they changed us, they tried to make our wishes real, but they wanted us to be more like them so the workings of men's evil wouldn't kill us or make us mad. They saw what grief had done to your heart...They wanted to help us be stronger..." she laughed a little, giving him a peck on the nose.
"And they so much love to help us, when we are together. They want us to find energy and inspiration in each other!”
Marai saw that, but how humans love one another or share that intimate love couldn't have been the only thing that drew these beautiful creatures to his world. It wasn't just his singing or his sorrow that drew them to his cave in the wilderness either. There was so much more to learn about the Children of Stone.
Children of Stone: Voices in CrystalHe knew they worked together and thought together as one will, much of the time, like ants in a hill... like bees in a hive. How strange it must have been for them to see all of these different hearts, thoughts, and wills often working at crossed purposes and warring with one another. Did it baffle them that distrust and hatred grew among people when they were separated by their skin? Lovemaking. This was why they loved it. When two persons loved, and the emotion was more than self-serving, it approached that oneness they knew at all times. Coming into them as they did, he understood that they tried to create a bond by implanting themselves into the very fiber of humans in order to raise them up. They were wisdom, but this wisdom had also given them a natural curiosity. What would it be to be separate, but wise? They were not entirely successful. He showed them this time and time again. Ariennu had certainly shown this. Humans were complex creatures. Emotions and frailties were far more complex than the children imagined.
