Anyway , enjoy ~
( English is not my first language so I'm very sorry if you find any mistakes ).
The universe was vast, very vast. Dotted with innumerable solar systems, themselves composed of different planets where life flowed slowly. The differents species were stranger than each others and populated the lands, whether forest or arid. Humans were part of it. They were technologically advanced and often thought themselves above all else superior to any other creature. Yet, even after thousands of years of evolution, nothing had really changed. After all, as evolved as they were, they were still animals.
In space in a cloud of smoke, a struggling spaceship was looking for a place to land. On board, three passengers, a couple and their young son, are on vacation for the first time since his birth. Inside the spacecraft, the little red haired boy tied to the passenger seat, watched the whole scene unfold beneath his innocent eyes.
The dashboard buttons flashed a red light, announcing an imminent problem. At the controls, his father panicked by the situation shouted to his wife words, incomprehensible to the child.
A-847 was in sight. Planet known for its hot and humid climate, its lush jungle and its white sand beaches, it was today abandoned … It wasn't the best place to land, but they had no choice.
In order to straighten the ship, the sweaty man fought with the rudder to keep the ship in the axis of the planet. The trembling woman pressed a few buttons according to her husband's strict instructions, who tilted the end of the ship slightly to line up as best as possible and start the emergency landing. Once in the atmosphere, the ship trembled as it crossed the turbulence zone. Under pressure, the pilot suddenly lost control of the spaceship, which began to dive to the ground.
Suddenly, a big shock crossed the ship and the siren began to scream, indicating a much more serious problem. The ship began to fall on the right side, the reactors no longer responding.
Too young to understand the situation, the boy looked at his mother in tears, who's screaming something to his father. The cries of panic from his parents were the last thing he heard before another big tremor seized the ship, the seat belt taking his breath away.
He lost consciousness ...
Black.
When he woke up, the boy blinked, slowly getting used to the dim light. Lying on a cold metal plate, he licked his lips, trying to get rid of the bitter taste of his mouth. He turned around and instinctively tried to get up before feeling a sharp pain in his right leg. He winced and grabbed his ankle for felt something hot on his hand. He slowly watched his little leg and saw a cut below the knee. A red liquid escaped.
Too young to know what to do, he took refuge under the dashboard, frightened by the pain in his injured leg. In the darkness, he curled up and began to cry. Warm tears ran down his cheeks, then he gently called his missing parents. The thick black smoke filling the ship's carcass made his breathing harder and harder.
'Clang'
A metallic noise suddenly caught his attention. He looked up, using a sleeve to wipe his wet eyes.
At the end of the corridor, a tall slender figure appeared and walked slowly in his direction. The child looked at the approaching shadow, hiding under the dashboard hoping to go unnoticed. The figure passed by him, ignoring his presence in the almost total darkness of the ship. Unfortunately , he sneezed.
The shadow stopped, turning in his direction to determine the origin of the sound. As he cautiously approached him, the massive figure was revealed to the child emerging from the shadows and the smoke.
The little boy froze. The creature before him was different from all he had known in his young life. The beast had a smooth skin, a dark gray color all over the body. A long, thin, slightly tail swayed to one side. He had hind legs like an animal and very human hands, each with five sharp black claws. His powerful musculature gave him an imposing figure and long black hair fell on his face and back, covering his shoulder blades, and finally large gold eyes staring him intently.
The curious little boy watched this new creature with fascinated eyes. Then he got up painfully, his right leg trembling, before taking a hesitant step towards the beast. The huge humanoid creature sat up suspicious at first, looking at him, squinting. Finally identifying no threat from the small human before him, the beast relaxed and slowly approached the head with curiosity.
Unconscious of the potential danger, the little boy uttered incomprehensibles words laughing and stretched his chubby little hands to catch the nose of the beast, who, surprise, backed suddenly. The boy losing his grip fell backwards, he winced before hearing a giggle-like sound. He turned his head towards the creature who seemed to smile at him, revealing his sharp teeth, before feeling two strong arms catch him by the waist and lift him up into the air. Finding himself in the arms of the unknown beast, the boy laughed and grabbed the strands of black hair of the native. The creature chuckled softly and held out his muscular arms to hold the little human in front of him. "You're a little wild, aren't you?" The boy stared at him in awe at this strange and incomprehensible language. His face lit up, however, and pointed a finger at the creature. "Talk, talk!" The beast smiles softly at the child before taking long minutes of reflection.
The native wondered "How did you get here?" he finally said running his finger around the little boy's face. Expecting no answer from the child, the creature continued. "A weak little thing like you should have parents... No?" He said as he watched the surroundings of the spaceship in a sorry state. The metal carcass was nothing more than debris, the ripped cables hung from the ceiling, the broken windows littered the ground, and the smell of fuel slowly permeated the ship. The structure as a whole threatened to give way and collapse at any moment.
The little boy, who didn't understand a word of the native's language or the situation in which he was, continued to laugh as he tried to catch the long black hair. The beast sighed an umpteenth time before observing the strange child with red hair in his arms. Suddenly the creature noticed the wound. "Blood ... You're hurt ..." The big beast whispered, staring at the cut for a long moment and wincing. It wasn't nice to see, if the wound was not treated as soon as possible it would become infected.
"Booboo!" The little boy shouted as he pointed at him. The beast frowned slightly at being called by such a strange nickname. "No, no, Mana, my name is Mana." The boy was still looking at him with confusion. Then the creature sighed and put a hand on his chest clearly spelled. "Ma-na." The boy laughed and extended his little hands to him "Ma ... Man Man!" He repeated, trying to imitate the great creature. Mana, accepting the nickname, grinning revealing his teeth, then put his head against the little boy's in a gesture of affection.
Suddenly the creature raised its head in alert. The thick smoke and pungent smell attacked his nostrils. Sensing the danger of staying in this place longer, Mana hugged the boy tightly, then pulled himself out of the ship through a hole in the cabin, and quickly left the smoking carcass to enter the dense forest.
Arrived safely on his territory, he slalomed nimbly between the trees, the boy against his chest. After a moment, Mana stopped in front of a steep cliff at the top of which could be seen a cavern. He readjusted his grip on the little boy, who gripped his neck. Then he started climbing the cliff towards the cave higher up. The climb was difficult, looking for holds, its members in constant tension. Meanwhile, the child observed, confident, the long tail of Mana swinging under them at a height of several meters.
Once at the top, it was almost dark night.
Mana placed the child at his feet at the bottom of the cave on a bed of dry grass and furs. He sat down beside him, seeing him watching the cave with his shining eyes. He let him explore whatching him carefully from the corner of his eye.
His habitat was rather spacious, with some roughly carved wood furniture resembling more like raw wood rather than planks. The tools , other animal skins and hunting trophies were hung and spread against the stone wall. The remains of a fire littered the ground a little further.
Mana turned to look for something to cure the boy's wound. Turning back a few minutes later his eyes widened as the boy stretched out his arms, trying to catch the hunting blades on the small wooden table. "Oh, no no no, don't touch that!" He quickly grabbed the ginger-haired boy by the waist to keep him away from danger. Mana looked at the cutting blades for a moment before turning his attention to the young child in his arms. "It looks like I have to do some storage. I wouldn't want you to hurt yourself because of me." The boy stared at him incredulously with his sparkling gray eyes before giving him an incomprehensible gibberish.
The beast blew. "Ah, it's not like you understand me huh?"
He contemplated the child and decreed. "You need a name." Gold and gray eyes crossed making contact. "I'm going to call you... Allen !" He said triumphantly with a smile.
He lifted the boy, before carrying him to the dry grass bed. Laying it on the improvised mattress, he grabbed the previously prepared ointment and started to apply it to the wound. But Allen squirmed preventing him from doing his job properly.
"I know it hurts, but please stop moving !" The beast got impatient.
After successfully applying the ointment, Mana took a stick and long leaves and then gently wrapped the boy's leg, knotting the leaves with the piece of wood to keep everything in place.
Once the bandage was finished he wrapped himself around the child in a protective manner. His back between the little boy and the entrance to the cave, he let the warmth of his body warm his new protégé like a blanket. He watched Allen yawn and curl up against his chest. As he fell asleep, the creature gently caressed his hair, murmuring.
"Good night Allen."
Okay I don't know if I will continue this but I hope you enjoy it !
