  • Niko found it deep in a crack between the rocks in the pool. It was a glass ball, chipped and scratched, but beautiful and exciting. Niko and Max played with it, high up on the roof, high up on the monastery, high up on the mountain of the little island. They played with it until it fell, down a pipe here, down a roof there, across a courtyard, down a cobbled street - always down, down with Niko and Max in close and enchanted pursuit.
