Invisible, the Menttia of the Flaming Autumn Forests observed the newcomers in their small flying objects. They watched as the strangers mixed with the survivors of the destruction and then departed again. They felt thin, alternating streams of energy, and noted with surprise the lack of dangerously high aggression.

—Perhaps they wish to help each other?—

—They can still communicate unhindered among themselves, but no longer with their spaceships.—

—They are members of two different star peoples. But they resemble each other as we resemble our own kind.—

Bathing in the shower of light particles from the hot mid-day sun, the organized mass of Menttia circled over the main portion of the wrecked steel intruder. A swarm formed an independent unit, exchanged information with the greater collective mass, then broke away. At first, three portions of the autonomous swarm of fire-beings decided to prevent possible danger to themselves. To this end they set up a further barrier between the depths of space and the planetary surface.

The lesser swarm swirled several times around the great gathering and then slowly followed the small, silver-gray flying object. It appeared to be heading to the place where some of the Menttia of the Singing Dunes had been waiting since many day-changes—. Surprised, disconcerted, and touched all at once—the Menttia of the Singing Dunes observed the lonely struggle of two strange individuals. Two strangers who displayed not the slightest tendency for aggression.

The Menttia could absorb the emanations of scent molecules given off by sun and dust, sand and water, and fire and smoke. A preference for certain variations of scents united a portion of the swarm. The Menttia sensitized to those odors then spun in a slow dance in the unique mixture of heat, light, and reflections.

The rich energy-filled mass of air creatures approached the place in the dunes where the tragedy had taken place. With them were the small flying objects, whose noisy, energy-devouring flight was so much more difficult for them than for any Menttia.
