Kalroth was not from the Voryon system.


Kalroth was not from the Voryon system. Kalroth was from another place, another time, and it wasn't made by nature. It had passed near the Voryon system after the Wakkam event and had been caught by the Voryon system, an adoption of a moon, for a planet with several thousand moons.

Kalroth and Seeanka passed close to each other about the time a third moon from Voryon crossed both their paths. This changed the orbit of each moon, and thus brought about the pairing of Seeanka and Kalroth every three hundred years for the Dance of the Moons.

Kalroth had been made by another people. And they made it to do an important job, but that responsibility lies in the distant past. Kalroth, in Centra's time, put on a show for all of Voryon to see.

Kalroth was made up of two spheres, one inside the other, the smaller only just a 300th of a micron smaller. A perfect fit of one sphere inside another sphere. This allows for the Casimir effect to take place anywhere Kalroth goes. The Casimir effect pulls particles from the zero point energy of vacuum space, even in the Voryon atmosphere. Kalroth leaves these particles abundantly wherever it goes. Kalroth isn't just any moon.

When Seeanka and Kalroth dance, especially at night, Kalroth leaves a trail of light behind, an aura that can be seen all over Voryon, a trail of shimmering light, the tail of Kalroth. Sieffas and Streckna had sat together evenings during the dance and watched as Kalroth showed off its multi-color displays. It wasn't always the same, sometimes deep reds, sometimes deep greens, other times a cycling of colors. And even when the two Suns of Voryon were out, the tail of Kalroth can be seen, it is that bright.

Centra looked out to the distant moon. It was becoming visible during the day. And she looked the other way when she could to see Seeanka. She felt odd. She looked about and explained her uneasiness away telling herself it was because she was so high in the Voryon atmosphere, no Vorion had ever been where she was now.

She wondered about Patia, and Fescha, Pelly and Clarsa.

Her clothing was keeping her nice and warm.
