Planet Veldin
11:00am GST
A Life Changed Forever
The sun could be seen over the horizon as dawn came to the desert Planet of Veldin. The light quickly illuminated the cave and the Lombax woke up in a daze. She blocked the sun with her hand and slowly got up. Once she was standing she instantly heard her stomach growl. The Lombax decided to walk out of the cave and found a ascending hill and walked up it. Once at the top she saw a blue, circular building that looked like a garage, and beside it was a small ship. She was about to walk to the building until she saw a man with no shirt on walk out of the garage, and he was similar to her race. The Lombax instantly hid behind a rock and thought. She was hungry and knew she needed food, but if she talked to the man he may end up trying to send her back to the orphanage. She decided to not talk to the man and walked down the hillside back to her cave. As she was walking back she saw a pond by her little cave.
The Lombax knew there had to be fish.
She ran over to the pond and looked into the water. What she saw was little fish that were gold colored and had red stripes, and they were swimming around living their aquatic lives. The Lombax knew she need those fish and looked around the area for anything that could be useful. She stumbled upon a dead tree and found a stick that was slightly pointed at the end. She knew though she needed it to be more sharper and she looked around and found a flat rock with it sharp on one side. She took the rock and the stick and went into her cave and started to rub the rock against the stick.
2 hours and 24 minutes later
After sharpening the stick for over two hours, The Lombax decided that it was sharp enough. As she was walking out of her cave and was about to walk towards the pond, she looked up in the sky only to see a ball of fire flying down towards the planet. The object landed with a loud thud and the Lombax could feel the ground shake from underneath her. Her curiosity got the best of her though and she set the stick in the cave and ran up the hillside towards the crash. Once she arrived, she saw the crash was engulfed in smoke. She put her shirt over her mouth and ventured inside the crash. As she slowly approached the center, she saw two figures inside but couldn't make them out due to all of the smoke. as she was approaching the figures, she saw a black figure in distance.
And it was running towards her location.
The Lombax decided then to run out of the smoke and down the hillside to her cave. Once she reached her cave, she picked up her stick and approached the pond. She saw the first fish and waited patiently for it to get near her. Once the fish swam near the shore, she raised her weapon and rammed it into the water, missing the fish and scaring it away with the rest. The fish now started to gather towards the center and the girl then decided to wait for them to come back.
4 hours and 25 minutes later
The Lombax was now starting to get impatient and hungry and decided to find another way to reach the fish. she saw that a long thick log was reaching out towards the center of the pond and the Lombax decided to take the risk. As she was walking towards the log she looked up towards the building and saw two figures running along the side of it.
"Stop, I just wanna talk to you" Is what the Lombax could hear, coming from the building.
She ignored them though and continued to walk along towards the log. Once she reached the log, she put one foot on the log, and then another foot on it, trying to balance on it. Once she was evenly balanced, she started to slowly walk along the log until she reached the end of it. Once she reached the end of the log, she waited for a fish to get near her. One fish swam over to her and she rammed her stick into the water, missing the fish. She then waited for another fish and another one reached her. He rammed her stick into the water again and missed once again. Getting more angry she waited again and another fish managed to swim close to the log. She then angrily rammed her stick into the water again and successfully impaled the fish. She took her stick out of the water and saw the fish squirming and bleeding while doing so.
"YES" She whispered to herself as she slowly made her way back onto land. She only took a few steps however as she started to hear a snapping sound from the log. Her luck finally ran out unfortunately as the log then snapped from underneath her and she fell into the water, loosing both her stick and the fish as they sank to the bottom. She then started to panic and tried to keep herself afloat.
But knowing that she doesn't know how to swim.
She was now starting to get tired and thought about the people up top. She certainly didn't want to die like this and she started to scream at the top of her lungs, hoping they would hear her. But she then started to sink towards the bottom of the pond. She tried swimming and trying to resist, but her lungs finally gave out and she could slowly start to feel herself black out. She couldn't remember what happen next but all she could remember was coughing and barely opening her eyes to see a figure that was blocked out by the sun. But she started to feel her self black out again and her head fell to the ground.
...
The Lombax could now feel herself awake again as she felt a leathery sensation under her body. she woke up to see the inside of a strange building and soon figured out it was the garage from before. As she looked up, she saw a man that was wearing a jacked and was similar to a Markazian, but had rounded ears and no tail. She didn't really expect much from her rescuer.
But what she didn't expect is that this man would change her life forever
"Hi There" The man softly said
