As the unseen
circuitry behind it whirred and came to life, a message was carried by
thin beams of laser light deep into Space. She waited a short time,
then spoke.
'Great Spirit,' she began, 'Though I do not know your name.
Come and be among us. For the man-child has come, even as you said that
he would. But I am confused, and he doesn't seem to understand the
words I speak. I'm terribly afraid that I will do something wrong
and drive him away, and be left alone in this place. . .forever.
Please, if you're really who you say you are then come and show
yourself to him. Say something to make him stay. Please, you must make
him stay.'
Though he could not understand the words, Kalus felt the desperation
with which they were spoken, and saw plainly that they somehow dealt
with him. Her softness was unlike anything he had ever known. What
could it mean?
A moment later a deep silence fell over the room, and in the gentle
tension it brought, an outside presence was felt. Barely noticeable at
first, and then undeniably, the two felt another dimension being added
to the room. The colors around them grew suddenly brighter, edged with
gold, and in the back of their minds they felt the vicarious sensations
of a great, bodiless spirit swooping downward from the heavens, like a
giant eagle diving towards the Earth.
