More orbs are discovered
by: Unknown
Behind the mist-filled waterfall more balls began to juggle in a rainbow spiral of flashes of light. Jenny felt hypnotized by their beauty and allure. She pushed aside Sam and Mark without a sideways glance.
"Watch it, my friend," Mark rubbed his arm where Jenny had brushed by it. Sam caught her balance and moved up to Mark's side, leaning her head against his shoulder.
"You watch. I'll do the picking. I don't want this miracle to stop."
"Told you." Mark raised an arm to avoid the hard-hitting pellets of water exploding in a shower drenching He, Sam, and Jenny.
Jenny shook off the deluge. Nothing was going to stop her. "This must be some kind of test."
Laughter chuckled like a fluid flowing stream from where the waterfall splashed back into place. An alien figure vaguely shaped like a man began juggling the flashing colorful orbs faster and faster until they spun in a circle of light.
"Greedy, are we? Willing to feast without knowing who cooked this fun prank up?" the voice rippled with glee.
"Who? What are you?" Mark shouted, gathering Sam against him. Maybe Jenny's invincible strength might face this unearthly teasing imp better than he. At the moment all he wanted to know was what was really going on. Why on earth was this thing here? Where had it come from?
Jenny stood unflinching as the waterfall parted and a liquid silver figure dressed in water droplets floated out into view. "You may call me Xinth. I am a simple tourist come to entertain myself with the natural wildlife this planet espouses."
Mist rose where the water droplets had been. It caressed the figure clothing it in a cloud of sunrise hue. "There. That is better. Hello Jenny, my sweet. Come take my hand. Introduce me to your two companions."
The Greek God who stood before Jenny stopped juggling colorful winking orbs and stuffed them in a pouch slung down from his shoulder. "Let us discuss what gams we might play together."
