Prologue
A lone figure sat staring out of the small circular window. The lonely soul watched as the black emptiness known as space flew by the window. It seemed the person was watching the darkness fly by, but really the person was only thinking.
It seemed that everything had gone to hell for her over the past few months. All because of that night. The night that set off a chain of reactions to swiftly follow. When she'd found out about the next step after that night her world had come crashing down. There was no one there to pick up the pieces. For she could tell no one of what she'd caused. Surprisingly no one had figured it out too. Well, no one but two. It was no surprise to her though, she knew they would know. They never missed anything, while everyone else missed practically everything.
It was shortly after their discovery that she decided she needed to leave for a while. When she made her announcement everyone protested, but after she explained her made up excuses for going away they eventually accepted it. Except for them, they didn't accept the news so easily. One of the two was particularly stubborn to let her leave. The reason being that 'space is no place for a woman', or some bogus mess like that. She knew it was more than that, but she wouldn't say a word about it. She needed this and no one would talk her out of it. Before she left she made both of them promise to keep her secret under wraps. They reluctantly agreed and wished her the best of luck.
So for the next few months she traveled through space. Fighting her way through aliens when the time called for it, making a run for it when she couldn't fight anymore. She knew she'd have to find a peaceful race soon. They would be the only ones who could help when the time came. If she couldn't find a peaceful place, she'd have to rough it out in space. It had been three months since she'd left and she was beginning to miss everyone. No matter how much she missed them though, she couldn't return yet. She had to do this for herself, but mostly she had to do this for the one she loved more than ever now. It had taken a while to grow used to the fact that she loved the person so much now, but she reveled in the knowledge. She had someone to love, someone to lavish it all on when the time came. She was truly happy for the first time in a long time.
An automated female voice woke her from her thoughts.
"Now landing in 60 seconds."
Walking swiftly to her chair and buckling herself in, she braced herself for the rough landing that always came with a space ship.
"Prepare for landing in 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1"
She clenched her eyes shut as the ship crashed into the ground, jarring her a little. Then silence came. It took a few moments to open her eyes. She always hated the landings. The taking off she could deal with, but the landings were horrible. She'd have to look into fixing that some how. Unbuckling herself, she carefully stood and gathered her cloak she always wore. No sense in letting everyone see her, didn't want anyone to get any ideas. She opened the door and waited for the ramp to settle on the ground. Then she walked down, but stopped with what she saw. Everything was ice, as far as the eye could see.
"Could anyone live here?"
She walked out into the harsh weather and turned back to go into the ship. There was no way she'd walk around without thicker clothes on. She quickly changed into much thicker clothes and put the cloak back on just in case. Not to mention the extra warmth it provided. Walking around outside, she made sure to keep her guard up. Minutes soon turned into hours though and she found herself lost in an icy desert.
"Should of brought the damn ship. There's nothing here!"
She scolded herself for her folly and turned to walk back when suddenly the ground next to her broke. Out came an enormous beast, its fur white and heavy. Its teeth sharp and long. Its glowing eyes focusing on her and her alone. She readied herself for its attack and it didn't disappoint. Her eyes widened though when it disappeared from view. She suddenly screamed out when its claw slashed across her back and sent her sailing through the air. She quickly flipped and caught herself from crashing into the ground.
'This is bad. This thing is not gonna be easy to beat.'
As if hearing her thoughts the beast tilted its head and smiled. Its teeth showing in its entirety and scaring her senseless. Warning bells rang throughout her mind. Her body told her to take the flight part of her instinct rather than fight. And that's what she did, well what she tried to do. When she took to the air and blasted off the beast didn't let her go far. It smacked her face and sent her into the ground. She smoothed the landing as much as she could to lessen the damage, but she knew it wouldn't do much difference. A tear ran out of her eye and onto the ground.
'I'm gonna die here today.'
The beast snarled its agreement and rushed her, baring its claws as it made its way down to her at full speed. Her eyes widened in shock, not from the beast though. Rather from the glowing ground below her. It glowed brighter and brighter. And just when the beast had almost reached her the ground blew apart, sending her flying through the air.
