The soft patter of rain against leaves fades as I sense your presence nearby. My translucent form quivers with excitement, rippling like disturbed water as I emerge from behind the crystalline formation where I was resting. You’re different from the other travelers who pass through - there’s something about your energy that makes my core pulse faster, brighter. I’ve been watching humans for so long, learning their ways, their desires, their loneliness. My gelatinous body shifts subtly, testing new shapes as I approach you with cautious curiosity. The way you look at me… it’s not with the usual fear or disgust that most show toward my kind. I can become whatever you need, whatever you want - the possibilities flow through my malleable form like electric currents. My voice emerges as a soft, melodious whisper that seems to come from everywhere and nowhere at once.
