Well this is not how I planned to start of the day. Of course, only Sam would ever come to my house with a literal flying person following her. Ok backtrack, Why is there a flying person following her?!
I'm just going to pretend that none of this happened I'm going to bed with Cheryl and we are not coming out until either everything is back to normal or I realize I'm crazy whichever comes first.
I guess that plan did not go over well with the flying person because he decided to fly up into my face blocking my way from the stairs. Whelp I'm stuck. Any normal person in this situation would ask them to move or leave a different way, but me oh no. I'm a weird person so I decided to scream, you know as you do.
I mean what else would you do when a FLYING person with weird clothes and shiny white hair blocks your way to the stairs, I think you would scream too. You know what maybe you wouldn't. That contradicts my previous thought.
He did not seem to like my scream, seeing as he is now on the floor, clutching his head. I think for a second that maybe I hurt him, but that thought gets left behind as I race my way back up the stairs. Ignoring Sam's yells to come back.

I never should have followed Lulak, what was I thinking! This is probably some trap and the are going to kill me or dissect me. Or whatever else these creatures do! But one thing is certain I'm Dead.
After panicking for a while longer I notice there is another creature here in the small room with me and Lulak. Of course, I fly up to them.
Ok Never mind, Bad idea. I think my ears are bleeding. What was that Noise?! It was like the predator birds back home that would eat your pets if you left them outside for too long. NO scratch that it's so much louder!
Today is really not my day. After the evil bird creature left. Lulak started to make a noise similar to the screeching but not as severe. My best bet was probably to sit here on the floor and wait for my demise due to these evil creatures noises.
I mean that's what the screeching is, right? Lowing my defenses so that they can kill me. I should have listened to my Memma, how many times do I have to learn that Memma can literally see the future. By default that should mean I would listen to them but noooo.
I start to hum to myself a song that my mother would sing to me when I had a nightmare. Probably the only thing she left me with if I being honest. Lulak seemed to like it as they stopped screeching, or maybe they were ready to kill me now who knows.
Oh, it's back to the chirping, can't Lulak see I'm waiting for my demise. Have a little mercy. Or maybe Lulak does not want to kill me, but that is a small hopeful thought, and I have decided to start listening to my Memma. And Memma would say, "Listen to your instincts young one".
But after all this it seems like that's the problem. I don't have as strong instincts as the rest of them, why don't they realize this.
I should stop thinking about the past though. And focus on the present. The fact that I literally might die right here. Then there would probably be no Qertyab or Evil creature planet anymore. Vlad should really get his anger issues checked.
Well it seems Lulak has given up on chirping at me, maybe I should have responded? Maybe that's what they wanted. Great I messed up again, stupid instincts, why can't you help me like you help everyone else!
Oh look Lulak is doing the follow me dance again. Considering what happened last time I should not follow them, but I have nothing better to do so… Following Lulak it is!

You would think sending a child on a little expedition to gain more understanding about the universe could only go wrong so many times. But time and time again, I am proven wrong.
I hear that this time Shket did not even arrive on Qertyab for a problem to happen. Apparently Shket's ship crashed after being knocked off course by an asteroid. A rookie mistake. With all the advancements in this society you think something like an asteroid would not be able to take down a royal ship, but no time and time again I am disappointed.
The oracle could have at least hinted at a mistake like this, but he has never been very reliable anyway. You think for being Shket's Memma he would try to keep him safe, but once again it would seem I am proven wrong.
I decide to go talk to the man himself about this, I mean the nerve. He is supposed to be our oracle, yet I feel like he does not tell me anything. "Clockwork!" I call out to him. As usual he does not respond, rude. So with a king like confidence I walk up to him grab his arm and say "Why did you not say anything about Shket's crash?" he shrugged as he does and said "It did not seem of my concern."
"Of your concern!" I yelled at him "you are his Memma".
"And that means he has priorities over all others? I think not." he said with that smug tone that just screams I know everything.
"Other things were happening in the cosmos I had to attend to. Don't worry I have started to search for him." and after this last statement or conversation was over. Ended just like almost every conversation I have with him.
I sometimes feels like the only person he actually listens to is Shket, but he is his Memma so I guess that makes sense.
