Noah did not move!
Not a finger and not a breath he did not need. He stood in the falling silk with the kaleidoscope turning past him and he held himself utterly still, because the thing at the bottom of the one taut strand was looking at him, and it had not yet finished deciding what he was!
It hung no larger than his hand.
Golden plates overlapped along its body, and they caught light from angles the light was not coming from, so that it seemed lit from inside by something that was not quite in this place! Six jointed legs folded neatly against it. Two wings lay closed along its back, and through them, faint and slow, drifted shapes that were not there when he looked directly and were there again when he looked away.
And at its head sat exactly two eyes, deep gold, unblinking, and both of them held him the way a scale holds a weight!
