Gen then waited for the orb to complete its cycle of movement again, and when it was done, he said, "This is it.", and then he began to repeat the orb's movements.
After a while, he was getting to the end of the movements, and then when he finished mimicking it, he said, "There."
After he finished, he saw that the orb was floating next to him, and Raja said, "The orb has stopped moving. It looks like this is the way to catch it."
And Lina said, "Get it right away, Gen, and let's move on."
Gen then said, "I know.", and then stretched out his arm toward the orb, but just as his hand was about to touch it, it pulled away from him and then went back to its routine.
Gen then said, "Damn. Why did it move out of nowhere?"
And Raja said, "I thought it stopped for good after you imitated it, but it seems that wasn't the case."
Lina then said, "You must have done something wrong, Gen."
And Gen said, "I didn't do anything but try to hold it in my hand."
"Are you sure that's all you did?"
"Yes."
Briny then said, "Maybe imitating it once wasn't enough. Why don't you try again?"
And Gen said, "Hmm, maybe you're right. I'll try again."
Gen then began to wait for the orb to finish its movement routine, and when the orb finished and began another routine, he again began to mimic it. Gen was again following the orb step by step, but when he made the last move, he felt a strange sensation.
Gen then thought, 'What was that feeling?'
He then continued thinking for some time until he heard Lina say, "What are you doing, Gen? Try to get the orb."
Gen then looked at Lina, then looked at the orb, and thought, 'That's right. Let me get the orb. Then I'll think about it.'
He then stretched his arm again towards the orb, to the point where he touched it, and then he thought, 'Looks like that's what it was. I just needed to imitate the orb more times.', but soon after touching it, the orb again moved away and started doing its routine again.
Raja then said, "Wow, that was so close."
Briny then said, "That's right. Did you do something different, Gen?"
And Gen said, "No. I just did the same thing as last time."
Briny then said, "Got it, so it looks like I was right. You have to imitate the orb a few times for it to stay still."
"Looks like it. I'll try one more time to see if it really is that."
Lina then said, "If you can get as close as you did just now, just try to grab it at once."
And Gen said, "You got it.", and then again waited so he could imitate the orb's movements.
He then started and followed the orb's movement step by step, and in the middle of the routine, he began to feel the same sensation as before.
He then thought, 'What's that feeling?', and continued imitating the movements. With each movement he imitated, the sensation grew stronger until he took the last step, and the sensation passed.
He then stood there thoughtfully, and Lina said, "Gen? Why are you stopping out of nowhere again? Have you found something?"
And Gen said, "I think so."
Raja then said, "Really? What did you find out?"
And Gen said, "This routine that the orb is doing, it's not an ordinary routine. There is something different about it."
Briny then asked, "What do you mean?"
And Gen said, "When I imitated the orb, I got a strange sensation in my body."
"Sensation? What kind of sensation?"
"I can't explain what it is. It was very quick, but it caught my attention. I think I will need to imitate the orb one more time to understand it."
Lina then said, "If you think you have found something, feel free. We'll wait."
And Gen said, "Great, thanks."
Gen then stretched out his arm toward the orb and touched it, but this time, the orb didn't move.
Gen then said, "Hm? Do I have to try to hold it to make it run away?", and then Gen held the orb, but it didn't express any intention to run away.
Gen then said, "Damn. It seems that one has to imitate the orb three times for it to stay still. Just when I was about to find out what that feeling was."
And Raja said, "Too bad, Gen."
Lina then said, "You don't have to stay like that. We can Just come back here in eight hours, and you can imitate the orb again."
And Gen said, "That's true, Lina, you're right."
Briny then said, "Well, I don't know if it'll be the same, but around the temple, there are a few more orbs like that."
And Gen said, "Really, Briny?"
"Yes."
"Let's go there then."
"Okay, follow me.", and then she started to go towards a temple corridor.
They then walked down this corridor for a while, and then they came to a larger room. They then looked around and saw some people standing a little way off.
Raja then said, "Are they also in a line to get the orb?"
And Briny said, "Probably. Let's get closer."
And Gen said, "Okay.", and then they went towards the group of people.
As they got close to the group, a man saw them and said, "One more group. You are the sixth to get here."
And Briny said, "Are you making a line to get the orb?"
"Yes, exactly. You are the sixth group to arrive. So you will be the sixth group to get the orb."
Lina then said, "Unfortunately, we don't have time for that. We'll get the next orb that comes along."
Everyone then looked at Lina and started to walk toward their group. , but before they could get closer, Briny stepped forward and said, "I am the Queen's daughter, Briny. You don't mind if we get the next orb, do you?"
Hearing that, everyone started looking at her, and after some people who knew her confirmed that she was indeed the queen's daughter, they all started to go back to where they were.
The man then said, "Of course, not Princess Briny. The next orb is yours. Make yourself at home."
And then Briny said, "Thank you.", and then went toward the group of people, with the other three right behind.
They then sat down, and Raja said, "Will the orb take long to come back?"
And Briny said, "I don't know, but let's find out now."
She then looked around, and after choosing a person, she said, "Hey, you.", and the person then turned to her and said, "Yes?"
Briny then said, "Do you know how long before the orb reappears?"
"Yes, I know. It's still two hours until it comes back."
"Thank you."
Briny then turned back to her group and said, "What do you want to do, guys? Should we wait for the orb to show up, or do you want to move on?"
And Gen said, "I want to wait. I want to see how this orb moves."
And Raja said, "I don't care."
And Lina said, "Me too."
Briny then said, "Okay, let's wait then."
Some time then passed, and Gen was standing, repeating the movement that the orb was making earlier. He tried several times, and then he decided to stop and rest for a while.
Raja then said, "Did you get the feeling again?"
And Gen said, "Unfortunately not."
Briny then said, "Maybe the feeling only comes when an orb is moving."
And Gen said, "Maybe you're right.", and then suddenly, they heard a person say, "The orb appeared."
They all then started to look around and soon saw it floating around, moving from side to side.
Briny then stood up and said, "Well, I'll take this orb as arranged.", and no one disputed what she had said.
Briny then said, "Let's go."
The four then approached the orb, and Lina said, "You can start imitating it, Gen."
And Gen said, "I haven't even seen it properly yet. Let me observe it a little bit first."
"Oh yeah. Go ahead."
Gen then started to watch the orb, and after a while, he said, "There, I finished recording the movements."
Briny then said, "Good luck trying to understand the feeling you had talked about."
And Gen said, "Thanks.", and then focused his eyes on the orb so as not to miss the chance to get into the beginning of the routine.
The orb then began to do its routine, and Gen began to imitate it right away.
After a few steps of imitating it, Gen again felt the same sensation as before.
He then finished imitating the orb and said, "Good. The feeling is much stronger in this orb. Maybe I can figure out what that feeling is in the next two tries."
He then stretched his arm toward the orb to make it move again, but the orb showed no reaction, so Gen held it back, and yet it continued without trying to escape.
Gen then said, "Damn. Why did this orb only last one round of imitation?"
