Liru knew the dangers of the city. He was told countless times by his parents to stay outsides its boundries. Yet it never really occured to him why until he finally entered it. Thousands of past live lay strewn before his gaze. People whom apeared frozen in time itself were still going about daily chores, or humdrum activities. From his vantage point he could see a local grocery store. a place where in anchient times food was plentiful and you could take all you needed. Now like a twisted joke it remained there. Too large of a risk even to him. Liru noticed movement and hid himself behind the corner of a building. Curioscity eventually got the better of him and peeked his head out ever so slowly. At first he couldnt tell what the movement was from. His eyes caught the movement of a black clothed figure. In his hand was a strange instrument, probably a weapon. Liru was about to run when he saw the black clothed man poke the instrument into a frozen person with a strange thud the person flopped to the ground. In a gutteral language the man gestured toward her and several others came and carried her to what looked like a vehicle. His curioscity peaked he slowly backed away from the scene. Turning he made to sprint away when a fowlup beneath him made him hit the pavement hard. The noise would surely have alerted the men to his presence and he knew he had to keep going. He grabbed what lay on his feet and ran, the sound of the vehicle behind him. He managed to make it to the boundry country outside of the long lost city and to his surprise no one was behind him. Perhaps they had not even heard him at all. Sitting he wiped his forehead with his sleeve. After a moment he turned to see what had caused all this mess and found out it was a small black orb with a smaller blue symbol engraved into the back. His curioscity always getting the better of him he decided to try and poke the engraved symbol. After about four minuts of fiddling around with it he couldnt seem to get it to do much of anything. "What a waste of my time." Liru said as he kicked the useless object down the hill. "Password accepted." Replied the orb and for a brief moment a flash of light blinded liru. When it was over the orb seemed hovering in the same location where he had kicked it and the sky shimmered an odd green color, picking up the object he noticed it had unscrewed like a bottle and was slowly winding back in upon itself. He watched it for a few more moments then looked up at the sky. A solitary bird Hovered overhead unmoving, its flight neither going or coming. Now a bit scared he reached toward the object just as it spinned close. The sky returned to its normal cloudy bluish color and the bird continued its flight forward toward the city. "What sort of thing is this?" The orb didnt seem to want to reply so he pushed it a few times. Reluctantly he turned back toward the full empty city and sighed.

The small metal orb aproached liru of its own accord the symbol on its side having changed shape. "What do you want?" He said trying to sound angry and intimidating. "Query what is your classification?" it replied very staticly. "My name is Liru" He said almost proudly though he felt stupid talking to this object as though they were close friends. "Query complete shutting down to process information." And with that it stopped glowing, almost as though it died. "What am I thinking, I need to go home and find someone who knows what this thing is.." With that he took off for home carrying the small black orb that now pulsed with what he could only guess was life.
