A minute passed with me and the eye in the sky staring at each other. The iris had the colors of the rainbow, and the pupil was black.
I focused all my senses on it to see if it was dangerous. Oddly enough, I grasped an unnatural feeling of familiarity. Like the one similar to seeing cousins after a few years. Which was extremely unsettling: I had no cousins.
Nilenna's words came to me. 'Send my regards to our cousins when you visit!' is what she wrote in the letter.
I tried appraising it.
It was too far away so nothing came to view.
I shrugged. I'd fight it to the death if it attacked, anyway.
A few more minutes passed.
"Are we waiting for something?" I asked my companions, still looking up.
Alyssa was the one to reply, "Someone will come and give us an answer," she said, then added, "In the meantime, we are not allowed to look away from the ground."
I squinted my eyes. "Says who?" I skeptically inquired, maintaining eye contact with the heavenly observer.
