The Unbearable Lightness of Being A sphere of light hovered ten or so meters above the roof. "They've come!" Amet cried. "They want the crystals!" A smaller ball of light detached itself from the larger one and drifted down until it stopped just above the roof. It bobbled slightly as if something was moving inside.
