4 Animal sounds

4 Animal sounds

Jul 03, 2020

- Look, here it is ... It's still green. There is still time to get there, find the meeting point and make the delivery. It is close to Monte Castelo.

The road remains motionless; the hills increase and decrease in size as the car approaches and moves away. Monte Grande becomes bigger and bigger and the castle, that could be seen in the distance, disappears. There is only the aura of lights that resembles an incandescent almost overflowing volcano. In the clear sky you can see hundreds of uncombined blinking stars. The moonlight draws the shadows of trees and hills on the ground and if it weren't for the cold, it would be a perfect night for a stroll.

The car slows down and pulls to a curb. The headlights are switched off, the doors are opened and closed immediately afterwards, disturbing the silence of the night. Alex goes around the car and meets Selena. The siblings look at the device that spookily illuminates their faces; then they look at the landscape where the flashing point might be. They start walking, leaving the road behind. Because of the many rainy days, the ground is soft and gives way with the weight of their bodies, the boots and hems of their pants get muddy. As they move up, the green circle starts to change colour, which makes both of them to speed up. It is not supposed to turn red, for now it’s only orange. The urgency of the bleeping ends when they finally arrive at their destination. Alex takes a small black box from his jeans pocket and takes out a silver metal object in the shape of a pencil. With the tip it touches the ground which lights up in white. Small sparkling crystals materialize which come loose and float until they dissipate in the air a few moments later. Selena stares at the small points of light but immediately turns her head to the ground when she feels a slight tremor under her feet. The sensation of something approaching the surface carries on until a fat cat-sized mole appears in the middle of a mound that looks at the two beings right in front of him. He sniffs the air and turns to the man on his left and waits. Alexander, after shaking his head almost imperceptibly, gives the animal a small sample of the already solidified crystals. Instantly the mole tucks it between his dark and shiny fur. Before quickly disappearing through the hole, he looks at the young woman, takes a deep breath, and goes down. A small amount of raised soil is the only proof of his presence there.

- Do you both happen to have a telepathic dialogue and leave me out? He looks at you, you shake your head and he disappears... not a squeak or anything! - Selena stuffs her hands in her dark red coat pockets. Alex shakes his hand to release the rest of the luminous crystals and carefully places the thin bar in the green velvet of the case that is put back into the pocket of his pants.

- Silly… Do moles squeak? - He wrinkles his nose at Selena while rubbing his hands together to warm them up. They end up in his jacket pockets as they go down the hill.
