Here we go now;

Prolouge:

There was only about eigteen of them left now. They were getting thinner. She watched from her seated position on the scratchy, dusty, cracked mud that had once supported thick, lush grass. Her ears rose in sharp points, and her eyes were shaped oddly, with a thick lilac mark that looked almost like facepaint each side of her eye. She glanced at her brother, who shared her acid yellow eyes and deep purplish hair. The eye-flicks, properly to be named Tachidens, identified the gender of every Dimindi. Lilac for a female, blue for a male, and grey for when the Dimindi was too old.

Her softly blueish toned face contrasted sharply with the rusty hue of the sky. Nightfall was almost upon them. The two suns sunk slowly side by side. They used to wear beautiful Rosaphen robes- Rosaphen being a type of material like a mix of silk,velvet and cottonballs. Now they were tatty rags of colour, stained with the thick clogging dust. The magnificent trees had withered and died, there was almost no food left. Nature was claiming them one by one, slowly, all the life fading. Lifting her hands she retracted the two sharp finger-claws, and sighed, resting her head in them.

Her mother, Raish, her brother, Micrash, and her, Kistain. Her home planet of Dimindatia. Once a land of beauty and wonder, harmony with nature. But now, slowly, they were cooking to death. Something was destroying the soil. Consuming them all, one by one…

Without warning, there was a booming sound, almost like a thunderclap. The ground began to quake. Some of the few stone buildings they had standing, weakened by other groundshakers, shook and began to collapse, huge blocks of exotic stones tumbling down. Everything was quaking, the villagers blurring into action, moving away from the falling blocks. Screams of terror rent the warm air and from safety Kistain turned slowly, eyes widening as she saw her mother free herself from the blankets she had been wrapped in too slowly.


A block, shining almost silvery, crashed down on her mother's back, and her screams stopped dead. Kistain was hardly aware of the others holding her back, she was fighting for all her life, screaming at the top of her lungs. Time seemed to slow and she was aware of her brother's strong scent as he enveloped her into his arms, and she pressed her face to his chest, sobbing.

Slowly, the earthshakers were claiming everyone.

One…by…one.
