Chapter 6: The Forests of Haliku

 
Myrna and Xymna enjoyed the great conversation with Callisto. They basked in sunlight and watched as the light blue clouds slowly moved across the sky. The day could not have been more beautiful. Above them flew many different birds. Some birds even perched on the balcony’s edge, singing beautiful melodies. They somewhat resembled the birds on Earth but had four wings instead of two. Two smaller wings folded easily under the large wings. The smaller ones were always a lighter color and glowed. Many of them had streaks of black, white, or yellow down their back.

After drinking the enjoyable Kokol, they put their cups down and headed down the long flight of twirling stars. Xymna knew they were heading for the Swirling Streams. She was excited to go for a swim since it was getting quite warm as the day went on. 

Myrna asked, "Where are we going Callisto?"

Xymna answered promptly, "We are headed to the Swirling Streams for a nice swim and to play with the Terios."
"I could definitely use a nice dip in the water," exclaimed Callisto. 

"The nice thing about Swirling Streams is that as soon as you leave the stream, the water bounces back into the Stream! It’s like a magnetic attraction! You don't even need a towel," explained Xymna. 

"No need for a towel! That is so amazing!" Myrna added, hopping towards the stream.

They passed the friendly forest, and in a few minutes they came upon the Swirling Stream Calipto, which was bursting with life. The Streams were sparkling with pink and gold hues. A great light show could be seen at the bottom. The Oysters lit the Stream in circular patterns as the small fish darted around in groups, dancing along the stream bed.  The Terios happily jumped from branch to branch using their wings to fly and play. They were Myrna's favorite because they were always so playful and cheerfu. 

Myrna was the first to jump in because she absolutely loved to swim. Callisto let out a chuckle, remembering what Xymna had told him of Myrna; how she could swim as well as a frog. Xymna and Callisto followed her into the water. The three played with the Terios and swam until they heard someone calling Callisto's name.

Suddenly, a friendly face showed up in the sky above- it was an image of Callisto's mom. She was summoning him to come home for dinner. It was the coolest thing to see Callisto's mom's image sparkle in the sky. ​

"Callisto, it's time to come home and have dinner with dad and me. Oh, I see your friends are visiting too! Bring them along so they can eat with us!" 

Xymna and Myrna waved to Callisto's mother. She waved back. 

"Your mother is very nice Callisto, but I think it's time for us to go back home. We need  a good night's rest before breakfast with our family in the morning," Xymna gently explained. 

"Well, you will have to come back and join us for lunch or dinner another time," Callisto's mom suggested. 

"They will, mom. My friends visit quite often. Phoenix can bring them back another day," Callisto answered. 

"As long as you promise me they'll come back," she said. 

"We promise!" They all said in unison.
