The First Touch
It is said that the first touch is the most magical touch.
Rhoda rode her bike down the street. She was bored, like ever so often. Slowly she turned her bike at the end of the street. To the left was only a sandy path, to the right there was a normal street. Since her friends hadn't got any time for her, Rhoda turned to the left, hoping to discover something interesting.
After about 100 meters, Rhoda's bike deadlocked in the fine sand. She jumped off the saddle and decided to walk. The path seemed to be endless first, but Rhoda walked without thinking about it. She just watched the beautiful landscape and it's residents. All of a sudden the path ended, or to be more precise, the sand ended. After the point, there was only some earth and dirt, not really a path, very small and slippery. Very odd. Still, Rhoda was extremely curious and decided to take the challenge. She did some quick steps, trying not to fall. Weaned to the underground she searched for more abnormalities.
A crack of a branch let Rhoda jump into the air. She wasn't prepared. Then a creature walked out of the undergrowth. Rhoda held her breath while she stared at the beautiful creature. She had seen them in a book before.
"Nero... Neran... Neriavanci, yeah right, these are called Neravontii", Rhoda mumbled and focused the mostly lime green creature. Although she wasn't really sure about her gender, Rhoda decided that it would be a "she". The Neravontii seemed to "look" at her too. She curiously walked back and forth. Then she jumped towards a large tree and climbed it. Rhoda froze in shock. She couldn't tell if the female was friendly or not.
Some seconds later, something approached her from behind, pretty fast. Her instinct told her to run, but she stayed were she was. Rhoda felt a warm breath in her neck. Really slowly she turned around to face the lime green Neravontii in surprise. She pushed her snout towards Rhoda's face, while the girl stumbled backwards. That was a bit much affection from the big creature. Rhoda then gathered some courage and walked up to the female again. This time the Neravontii jumped back, really fast again, and then back into the tree.
Rhoda wondered how the big creature could be that fast.
They played this game several minutes. Every time the lime green female came out of the tree, Rhoda tried to approach her, but then the Neravontii immediatly jumped back to safety.
It more happened by accident then. The Neravontii jumped too far and landed right in front of Rhoda. Rhoda took her, maybe, only chance and put her hand on the snout of the creature. The lime green Neravontii wanted to back off, but then relaxed and allowed the human hand on her snout.
Some minutes, they just stood there and got used to the smell and energy of the other one. Rhoda then decided to pet the head of the creature. She moved her hand over the smooth fur of the female. The girl feeled that there was a connection to the Neravontii. It was like getting a pleasant current impulse.
"Electricity", Rhoda whispered and took some steps backward. The female followed her.
The girl smiled and turned her back to Electricity, knowing that she would follow her.
