“There is a friend of mine!” Helios exclaimed with great joy. He had expected to meet old friends here at some point, but something clearly surprised him as he observed his approaching friend.

“Zendar!” Helios shouted as he stretched out his right arm with his hand pointing straight up, in a token of friendship.

“Helios!” came a mutually excited reply from Zendar, who stretched out his left arm with his hand pointing up also, to acknowledge friendship.

“This is the most incredible place,” said Zendar. “It is so beyond anything I had ever imagined! I am completely at a loss to describe how I really feel.

“One very interesting thing is that I recognized you instantly, yet we are both greatly transformed from before.

“Also I appear to have grown, or you have shrunk, Helios!” added Zendar, with a laugh.

Helios responded, “It is strange you should say that, for I was about to mention the same thing to you, my friend!

“I knew you instantly, yet we have indeed greatly changed, in many positive ways.”
