Krystal and the Wolf
Chapter 01 (years ago)
Finding herself stagnant on a distant planet from her homeworld, the young girl Krystal, already losing the hope of finding a way out of that strange planet, Krystal found herself feeling a weak, but close, noise, something like a painful howl, like that it been calling for help, like an unfortunate creature, a miserable creature who begged help with its last breath, the young girl approached to find herself with a wolf cub, that was trapped in a bear trap, he was bleeding, with no sights of have eaten in days, but he was still alive, Krystal was just able to open the trap enough to set free the little cub, and after that, he just disappeared in the forest, with a mood of joy, later that day, Krystal kept walking through the forest until she find a village, of what looked to be, enormous vipers, seeing herself in the worst of the situations, being trapped "in a jungle-like" planet full of deadly predators with sharp fangs full of venom ready to kill without hesitation, ally or enemy, they wouldn´t hesitate in killing what they consider a threat , knowing that was a lost fight to approach to them, Krystal just made the attempt to surround the town without attracting the attention of the huge vipers, unfortunately, she was surrounded by some viper-like creatures that took her into the village and tied her in a huge pillar, for some reason she wasn.t able so sense their presence back her, like if they didn´t have soul, like…alive bodies that react to some mental control without the need of a soul.
Seeking for a way of untie from the pillar, for a moment she felt a cold soul, an evil soul, approaching to the pillar, it was some evil, but familiar, that strange creature was holding a long, and curved sword, obviously he knew her, he simply approached and holded his sword against her neck ready for decapitate, but for some reason he just then, got back and walked slowly back to the other creatures in the place, and on a forbidden language (in agreed with what Krystal learnt in Cerinia, her homeworld), she understood that he was going to execute her, on the next morning, for her to be ready to fight for her life, after he disappeared in the town, those vipers that trapped her, simply freed her and took her to a sort of prison underground, where they threw her into one of these cages, almost in the night, Krystal was trying to at least sleep, but the constant screams in the other cages just made her to keep awake, those screams for moments stopped but then just started again.
Almost midnight and the young girl was finally trying to sleep, when she listened a peculiar noise on the corridor, first a metallic sound, she wasn´t able to figure out what was that, then, after a moment, she listened that the same sound appeared again, but nearer, when she finally gained the strength to investigate what was that, she found some keys near her cage, just the enough near to grab them without problem, asking herself how, she saw near her hand to a little cub, that she recognized as the little cub she released from the trap earlier that day. He was still hurled but he was enough strong to get the keys of the cage, Krystal grabbed the little wolf and found her way out of the prison.
She way able to escape from the village without being seen, once in the forest she leaved the wolf in the ground, he followed her, thinking that he would know the planet well she kept with him for the rest of the way through the jungle.
At the next morning, the little wolf guided Krystal into another village, but the habitants of this last where certain kind of wolves, they recognized the cub, he was an habitant of the tribe, they were similar to the tribe of vipers, but this tribe wasn´t hostile, they informed to Krystal that there was a way out of the planet, a spaceship, currently lost in the deepest of the jungle, but they though it was still useful for bypass the atmosphere of the planet and still be able to continue from the planet to another that don´t be so far, otherwise, it was the possibility that it end stranded in the middle of the nowhere, they also knew that the viper where in way of getting that ship, at the same time, they had just started to search it, there was a chance to get it before those vipers.
After that, Krystal thought that it was just matter of time to find it, she was planning to get to it as fast as it would be able, she proceeded by her own from there, leaving her little friend with his race, just hoping to see him again someday.
She went across the thick jungle, when she finally arrived to the ship she had the luck that the vipers hadn´t arrived yet, once in the ship, she had the luck that it was still in state of being flown.
It wasn´t easy to control it, but she was able to escape.
