The sun shone down, and he had to shield his eyes from it as he looked up and watched the Ring disappear up and away from where he stood. "David," Dennielle said. "Come on." She walked away from him, and he followed, feeling small compared to the building, the construct, the world he stood on. Or was it correct to say 'in?' She turned a corner, and at the end of it a railing ran along the edge of the roof. Before that a large, wooden table in the shape of a ring, with an opening in it facing him, stood there with several chairs around it. Two mels sat there, talking over a PADD. The larger of the two, holding the PADD, was a tall Mephit with black fur. He was very broad and David recognized him as Aaden Satpulov. The Human next to him was unmistakable; the pronounced chin and long hair were all there. Kennet Shardik. Denni cleared her throat Shardik looked up. "Aaden, I believe this is one of yours," he said, smiling. Aaden Satpulov glanced up as well. "Denni!" "Hi, Dad," she said, crossing the short distance as he stood up. |
