Kota’s story begins on a day that would become legendary in Oink Quarry—The Day the Everroot Spoke. It was the final attempt to cut down Emberthorn, the ancient tree at the heart of the quarry. The workers had tried everything, but the tree’s glowing thorns and deep roots resisted all efforts. 

Then, as the last strike was made, Emberthorn released a surge of energy so powerful that it shook the ground and lit up the sky. From its roots emerged Kota, a geode of shimmering crystals and glowing eyes, born from the tree’s defiance and the land’s magic.

From the moment they appeared, Kota was different. Their crystals pulsed with Emberthorn’s energy, and their gaze seemed to hold the wisdom of the ages. The other pet rocks, still new to the world, looked to Kota as a guide. Over time, Kota took on the role of guardian, watching over the quarry and its inhabitants.

Kota’s connection to Emberthorn is profound. They often spend hours beneath its canopy, soaking in its energy and listening to the whispers of the wind. It’s said that Kota can communicate with Emberthorn and understand its needs and desires. This bond makes them a bridge between the tree and the pet rocks, ensuring the quarry’s magic remains strong.

Kota’s abilities are as unique as their origin. Their crystals emit a soft, shifting light that changes with their mood or the energy of the quarry—a phenomenon known as Crystal Glow. They can also sense vibrations in the ground, predicting changes in the quarry’s magic, a skill called Earth Whisperer. Their presence calms other pet rocks and strengthens their connection to Emberthorn, an ability known as Guardian’s Aura.

Despite their ancient origins, Kota has a playful side. They love rolling through the quarry at night, their glow illuminating the path for younger rocks. They also have a soft spot for storytelling, often gathering the stones around to share tales of the quarry’s early days.

Kota’s presence is a reminder of the quarry’s resilience and the magic that binds it all together. They are not just a guardian but a symbol of Emberthorn’s enduring spirit, a living testament to the power of community and connection.
