Beginning at the end of Season of Sanctuary, the developers at TGC started making fun in making a story based on a rock living in the Realms of Sky. While no one was able to find that rock, each patch note ending a new Season features the rock venturing new horizon.

A rock from Isle of Dawn has gone on vacation to Sanctuary Islands and decided to move there permanently in order to fulfill its lifelong dream of observing jellyfish in their natural habitat
December 15, 2020[]
The rock made a quick visit to their original land, and found a cave filled with ancient memories. They decided to climb to the top for a better view, and saw a heart that had been left for friends to find. Happy to see such kindness, the rock departed for its home. After returning to Sanctuary, they shared these stories around the campfire and gazed at the stars, wondering...

While taking a break from jellyfish-watching, the rock decided to stop by a small village in the Valley of Triumph. They've been inspired by all the Skykids they've seen, and hope that they can teach their jelly friends how to ice skate, too!

After the crisp air and excitement of the ice skating rink, the rock decided to explore the nearby forest. While wandering amidst the tall trees, they stumbled upon the remains of what appeared to be an old treehouse! Sky kids were running around everywhere, honking at each other and creating fun item arrangements to bring joy back to the long-neglected space. The rock found a comfy hammock and decided that maybe it was time to take a short nap...

While napping in the hammock, the rock had a fanciful dream: They explored under the night sky with a brave child and a fox friend, talked to the stars, and played in a garden maze. Waking up and feeling full of inspiration, it was time to set off on a new adventure! But this time, the rock thought they might take more time to stop and appreciate the sunsets along the way.

In their travels, the rock discovered a brand new vista of floating islands. It seemed like this area was a haven for Light creatures, and the rock was happy to watch them dance through the sky. Whoever lived here must have loved the creatures a lot; they even crafted chimes so the wind could sing with the birds and mantas as they passed through.

The rock saw a bunch of kids diving into the water. But rocks can't swim (and might be a little scared of monsters), so instead the wandering stone decided to follow their friend Patch-chan on an adventure! There were so many people, wearing capes and masks and other costumes! They brought beautiful artwork, left kind messages, and took lots of pictures. The rock watched it all from Patch-chan's cute new bag, peeking out at all of the amazing sights and sounds.
June 28, 2022[]
The rock heard of a new theater and decided to visit. Before long, they were helping put on plays with the local Sky children and watching stories unfold on the stage. So many things were possible. Perhaps the rock could even help organize a jellyfish opera one day? The jellies have such lovely voices!
November 28, 2022[]
The rock had been spending time with their jellyfish friends over in Hidden Forest, enjoying the soft grass and gentle breeze. But all of the jellies keep singing a lovely melody that the rock had never heard before... Where did they learn it? Who taught them? The rock decided that it's time to set out on another quest, to learn who created such a beautiful song.
January 10, 2023[]
The rock found the source of the beautiful songs their friends had been singing. They wrote a diary entry describing their experience:
JELLYFISH! So MANY jellyfish! Ohmystarryelders, this is the best day ever!!! I got to BE a jelly! And bloop around a cave! I became AN ACTUAL JELLYFISH!! And mantas and birds and fish and butterflies?! AND JELLYYYYYYYYYYYYY [...]
The entry continued on like this for several pages, but we only have so much room in the patch notes.

After an eventful few months, the rock decided that a peaceful picnic might be exactly what they needed. They found a picturesque spot near some ruins, where children and spirits played in a field of flowers. Friends spent time together eating treats and sipping tea, while the butterflies brought joy to everyone around them. With a happy sigh, the rock decided to stay a while longer before setting out on their next journey.

Feeling nostalgic, the rock wandered back to Isle of Dawn to sleep under the stars of their original home. Little did they know, the quiet expanse was about to become very popular. One night the rock woke to the sound of countless little feet, fluttering capes, and honking Sky kids. Somehow hundreds, even thousands of Sky kids had arrived to help out a group of young Spirits. At last the crowd began to clear, and the rock was surprised to see a Spirit who could roll around. They were almost as fast as the rock as they taught others to roll...maybe the rock and the Spirit could have a friendly race?
October 12, 2023[]
The rock noticed some new fashion trends among the locals. The sunglasses their friend from Sanctuary Island gave them were a favorite, but maybe it was time to try something different?
December 11, 2023[]
Over the years, the rock had watched the curious children restore various parts of the world. Now it seemed as though they were focusing their efforts on bringing life back to a long-neglected village. Bright colors, new sounds, and old friends were like a breath of fresh air along the little street. The Sky children could accomplish anything when they worked together.
January 11, 2024[]
When the weather gets cold, there's nothing better than visiting Grandma's snow hut and sitting by the fire. Cozied up in their scarf, the traveling rock talked to Grandma about all the new things they'd seen and all the changes the children were bringing to the world. Their hearts were warmed by good company and hope for the new year.
April 10, 2024[]
Taking a stroll through Prairie Peaks, the rock admired the blooms and vibrant life all around. The rock wasn't brave enough to tempt lightning the way the Sky kids were doing, but they still enjoyed watching the children fly from blossom to blossom and play among the lily pads. Hiking through the peaks was a lot of work, though, so they decided to head back to a more populated area to see if they could find a cozy spot to relax after a long day.
July 2, 2024[]
The rock decided to visit the colorful festivities that all the Sky kids were honking about. They couldn't use the hair tint spells, but a kind jellyfish friend helped out by pretending to be a pretty hat. They had lots of fun together, racing across rainbows and going super fast! The Sky kids didn't even see the rock zooming through and finishing in first place!
October 10, 2024[]
The rock went wandering one night, enjoying the gentle light from the moon and stars. While sitting under a tree, they noticed Sky kids leaving riddles for each other. Wanting to join in on the fun, the rock made their own:
- "What's the BEST, most AMAZING, CUTEST creature in the whole wide world?
You'd better say jellyfish!"
- "What's the BEST, most AMAZING, CUTEST creature in the whole wide world?
- ...Rocks aren't very good at riddle games.
