Crysalis, part 3

The next thing she remembered, she was in a warm and protected place. There was food here, and sunlight.

In the distance shapes were moving, large and strangely colored. Curious, she moved toward them, but soon encountered some sort of invisible barrier. Although the barrier was not detectable at all to her dorsal ocelli, it felt hard and unyielding, and she knew there would be no more movement in this direction.

She was about to turn and explore the rest of the space, when she sensed one of the large shapes moving toward her from the far side of the barrier. She should have been frightened, ready to seek shelter, but some instinct told her that there was no danger from this being.

She felt a sense of massive bulk as it leaned forward, looming over her. And then, to her surprise, a pleasant shiver of recognition, as she sensed some sort of greeting. And it was definitely a friendly greeting. Perhaps this giant creature was one of her own kind?

She emitted a friendly greeting in return.
