The New Reality

My first story! YYYYYYAAAAAAYYYYYYY!!!!!!! Any commentary will be appreciated. :)

The golden orb floated just above the surface of what used to be a lake, but had long ago dried up into a puddle that barely deserved to be called a puddle. The orb floated almost inquisitively, floating first this way and then that, the cloudy water reflecting in the shiny golden surface. Voices sounded in the distance, startling the shiny bubble, making it shoot a few feet into the air before swooping back down, skimming the surface of the puddle. The voices sounded again as the orb started to change its color, shape, and size, slowly forming into its' original form. The people who belonged to the voices came into view just in time to see a tall girl disappear behind a cluster of rocks nearby. One of the pale and underfed humans approached cautiously, coming around the rocks slowly. A gaping hole yawned, hidden by the rocks. The scrawny human called to his companions as he peered into the hole. The girl had gone down it, he could tell that much from the footprints. What his companions saw as soon as they rounded the bend was their friend leaning over a gaping hole. This made them frightened, for who knew what could be hiding down there? It could be any Predatarian hole, but so far he had remained alive. Their friend turned to look at them, but in doing so lost his balance. He slipped towards the hole, pinwheeling his arms to try and regain his lost balance. He fell face first into a dark oblivion while his friends watched him slip out of their sight.
