It was a warm moonless summer night. A young warrior walks through the jungle stalking his prey. Finally a kill is in sight. It's been four days on the hunt. At every corner his prey would elude him. The jungle plays games, the warrior didn't. He raises the bow up to his sights, he breathes slowly to steady his aim.As he pulls back the arrow. FLASH!

A loud crack in the sky. A bright green fireball falls from the sky. The warrior is not afraid. The fireball begins to turn as if to be aiming for the warrior. He races through the jungle to avoid the impact. It is clear to him now the strange object is after him. He has known this jungle since childhood and he knows he has the advantage. As he approaches the waterfall he knows its his only chance to lose this predator. He jumps for it...

As he comes to, he lays in a small puddle of mud. The river is gone and the water fall has stopped flowing. From his muddy bed he can see a green shimmer a few feet away from him. The orb not only followed him down the fall, but seems to have deliberately missed him. It lays as he did, covered in mud in a small crater. He begins to approach the light. As he arrives at the impact he feel a strange power overtake him. His skin feel like its on fire, his muscles spasm, and his heart begins to race. He drops to his knees as the orb lifts itself out of the crater. It hovers above him as if to see how he handles the pain. The warrior gathers his strength and come to his feet. The pain is overwhelming as his vision blurs. He can barely make out the Objects real form. The orb is encased in metal, someone or something had tried to capture this before. With his final breath and last bit of strength, he lets out a ferocious battle cry and lunges at the object.

Days later, the man emerges out of the jungle. His hunting party had been searching for him since the explosion in the sky. They notice he is different. The young warrior stands tall as if above all others. He doesn't speak as he walks past them. A strange fear come over the hunting party, the young warrior suddenly stops and turns toward them. He stand motionless, his eyes closed, and not saying anything. He lifts up his head with a small grin. The hunting party is now overwhelmed with fear as the warrior opens his eyes. They quickly turn and run as they notice the young warrior eyes are immersed in green and they can tell he is no longer one of them.
