Child

This is the logbook entry of D. Furthen, naturalist for the UES [Redacted] in conjunction with the UES Research and Documentation of Outer Life. I am joined by my good friend Tharson, who is keeping me safe through this journey. --------------------- We hiked quite a ways for a closer view of these…small glowing beings playfully leaping from the edges of a cliffside. Sometimes in pairs. They appear to be capable of some kind of teleportation, as they occasionally reappear at the top of the cliff, giddily jumping and running around. One approaches Tharson without hesitation, it seems almost like a child. With a pop of energy, Tharson and the child reappear over the cliff edge and plummet. My heart skipped a beat, I swear it! Thankfully some bushes broke his fall, and after some rope and cursing, Tharson is OK. We decide to view these enchanting creatures from a greater distance. As we left, they followed us curiously for a while, but lost interest.
