“It felt like a brick wall,” Pearl said, shaking. “Solid, tough, hard edges. And just... power. Raw, overflowing power.”

Sophia frowned. "That's not normal," she muttered. "Not like anything we've come across before." She crouched carefully, taking off her scarf and wrapping it around her hand before picking up the purple stone.

“Definitely not normal,” Pearl agreed, trying to get her breathing to even out again. She rubbed her fingers, still able to feel the echo of the stone’s power under her skin. It made her bones ache.

"So what should we do about it?" Sophia asked quietly, frowning down at it. It certainly looked innocuous. "I don't want to just leave it here."

“I say we take it inside for now,” Pearl said. “We can figure out what to do with it once we have a better idea of what it is.”

"Good plan," Sophia agreed, starting to head back home. Fortunately it wasn't a long walk.
Once inside, she put the stone on the kitchen table.

Pearl couldn’t help but watch the stone.
“It felt so strange,” she commented. “We’ve never come across anything like it before. Not even close.”

Sophia eyed it. "It fell from the sky," she said slowly, cautiously. "I wonder if it's not... earthly."

Pearl blinked, looking from her sister to the rock and back.
“Are you thinking like the New York alien attack?” she asked.

"I mean, there's precedent for it, now," Sophia said with a little shrug. "Or this could be a random one-off thing that just fell. But the way you described it doesn't seem... right. And it literally fell from the sky."

"Yeah, that's true," Pearl agreed. She glanced at the stone mistrustfully. "For now, I say we keep an eye on it. I don't want to touch it again for a while, but if you do, just be careful."

"Agreed." Sophia shook her head a bit. At least she knew with them it was pretty safe. Probably. Mostly.

Pearl went back inside the house with her sister.
"Suddenly I feel wiped," she commented as she toed off her shoes at the door. "Like I could just fall over and nap for the rest of the afternoon."

"Huh." Sophia frowned. "I wonder if that has to do with this thing?" She nodded to the stone, carefully setting it in the middle of the kitchen table, still wrapped up in the scarf.

“I don’t know,” Pearl replied. “Maybe. I didn’t feel this exhausted before I mimicked it.”

"Right. Maybe go take a nap? Might help." Sophia shrugged. "We can always deal with this later."

“Sounds like a plan to me,” Pearl said, nodding. With a bit of a wave, she went upstairs and flipped down into bed. She was asleep in moments.

Sophia ended up cooking dinner and spending some time looking at the stone, trying to figure out what it was and where it came from, and if it was safe.

Pearl slept hard, staying down right through dinner time and not waking again until close to midnight. She wasn’t sure if her sister was still awake, but she got up anyways to go rummage for something to eat.

Sophia was still up, sitting at the table with a cup of coffee and staring at the stone. It was glowing faintly in the dim light of the kitchen, almost pulsing. She did blink a couple times and sit up straighter when Pearl came in. "Hey."

"Hey," Pearl said, going to sit down at the table as well. "Couldn't sleep?"

"Not yet," Sophia agreed. "Too restless. Too many questions." She briefly made a face. "This is just too confusing to sleep on."

"Touch the rock, it'll put you out quick enough," Pearl said with a bit of a grin. She glanced at the stone on the table. "I can kind of feel it from here, it's weird."

"Feel it?" Sophia frowned a little at her. "How so?" That was unusual, even for them, and they were kind of used to unusual.

"I don't know how to explain it," Pearl said, still looking at the stone. "It's like... kind of magnetic, almost. Not strong, not like being yanked toward it, but more like a tug I can just barely feel."
