Chapter 4

 “I’m glad you’ve come.  My name’s Selene, and these are my two sisters,” she gestured at them inclusively, “Staria and Lalia. We are water beings, or undines.” Serene brushed Alexander’s forehead with her hand.  It felt like laughing water droplets. The sisters swept back into the lake, waving. “See you later.”
 
 “See you later,” he called.
