"Below the timer, which is your current runtime for a given setting remaining by the way, you'll see what on a normal digital watch would be the illumination light button."

There was indeed, a big rectangular face button. Washu walked around to my right side and seemed to check the area around us for some reason. Then took me by the shoulders and pulled me a step back and to the right.

"Press it," She instructed.

'Beep.'

'Fwip!'

I blinked, and looked up at the sound. Right in front of my face, was a solid black circle; ringed by ripples in the air that bent the light the same way a glass of water would. I almost jerked away from it on instinct when Washu quickly grabbed my arm and held it still.

"It follows your arm," she instructed, swaying my arm back and forth.

"It's," I started to laugh just a bit as the hole in the air moved. "It's a portal."
