Chronicles of Zkit
Chapter 1: wandering on the dessert
In a very distant planet formed entierely by a merciless dessert and a very few cities with a population that literally lives underground, something is happening, an irken made spaceship, or the remains of it were causing a big column of fire to appear in the middle of a sandstorm, making the sand stand out in the cold night, some kilometers ahead, a figure covered in a purple coat walks with no other potection than his hand on his mouth and nose in order to avoid inhalating the sand.
this is how former irken soldier invader Zkit landed here, his spaceship was shot down by his own people and injured in the procces, the reasons weren't too clear for his crewmates, but they were for the oficcers in charge, Zkit had stolen some snacks and snuck out of the bay in the middle of an invasion, the soldier who spotted him doing that quickly assumed that Zkit was going to the enemy and give important information, so he was instantly accused of treason and had to suffer the punishment: death
Zkit: fools...
those were Zkit's words while making his way trough the dessert, though weak and injured, he was still standing, despite crashing on a strange planet after a 4 hour persecution, maybe the pursuers didnt want to go to a sand tomb like that, or maybe left him for dead, whatever the reason was, Zkit was safe
despite having a strong will, the sandstorm was already taking its toll on Zkit's body, but he didnt care, all he was thinking about was the message he saw on his computer, his girlfriend, a specialist in the intel department, who was suposed to had disappeared in action, had sent him a message, nothing audible, but a quick image from her, to Zkit those eyes couldnt be from someone else, without hesitation he had decided to ditch his duties in the invasion and go look for her, he was aware that he would be a traitor in the eyes of his comrades, but he didnt care, because there was hope to see her again
all those out of order thoughts were around his head with no order or pattern, just some reminders that he was fighting for the right cause, that he had a reason to make his way to a safe place and find a way out of that planet and focus on his search
Zkit: this stupid sandstorm and my dumb commanders wont stop me... i will find you! but first... i need to make my way out.. of... here...
as his strenght and consiousness was fading away, he saw some lights in the distance, the view was bigger thanks to the sandstorm slowly stopping, but all he could see was a black space full of stars... his body reached its limits and was now collapsing
Zkit: everything is confusing... i cant... give... up...
finally he succumbed and passed out
hours later, his consciousness had returned, but he was too tired to even open his eyes, he felt a warm atmosphere, as if he was somewhere else, lying on a bed
Zkit: (where am i??)
he wanted to get up, but he was still weak, he decided to then try to listen around him: there were voices coming from what it seemed to be another room
????: yes... he's irken, did you see his clothes? the green skin?? the eyes?
????: (female voice) you sure? because i'm not sure yet, his eyes are different from the others
????: i told you i'm sure he is irken, we have to do something about him, what if he's here to take over our planet?
????: i doubt it, from what i heard our planet isnt marked
????: anyway, you already know the kind of merciless bastards the irkens are, we should dispose of him
????: we wont
????: what?? do you realize the danger he is?!? he could call his comrades and kill us!
????: you silly, you saw him, he had nothing but a backpack with some suplies, he also was badly injured, he didnt seem to have any device on him anyway
????: but... but...
????: enough already! he's no threat for us, not even on the state he is, the planet alone nearly kills him, besides, if you feel so paranoied about him, lets wait for him to recover and then we can ask him
????: fine... have it your way, but dont blame me if we get killed
Zkit heard some steps and then a wooden door opening
the female stranger was there, Zkit felt some warm aura around her despite having his eyes closed
????: are you ok? you must be strong if you can resist a sandstorm from this planet
Zkit: wh... -trying to talk-
????: shhh...
Zkit felt a 3 fingered hand on his mouth, it was gently touching it
????: you're too hurt to even talk, you better take some rest, once you recover you will know where you are, and dont worry, your belongings are safe
Zkit: (well... it seems i'm at their mercy now... but they saved me, ... my head is still spinning, i better obey and sleep)
with some last thoughts to his missing girlfriend, Zkit slowly fell asleep, hoping that she's not having the difficulties he was having
