A spaceship crashes in the dark hours inside a dense forest.
As it opens the door to it's vast internal structure,A man of great build steps out.
He is limping,his blood blue in colorr seepss through his wound from his forehead.
He looks at his surroundings.
"Should have stayed in the borders of the yahuma ...ahhh my head" he says and makes a painful sound while touching his head.
It was a dark night. Humans slept unknown to the extraterrestrial guest wandering their most feared forests.
"Let's see if I can find her here..." he says and picks up his backpack and reduces his aircraft into a small pocket watch sized box.It was a great technology he had. God knows how much these humans had achieved in these years.
Last thing he heard his ancestors saying,this race was primitive.The dwelt on the earth and built houses out of concrete unlike the motile palaces they built back home.
The man put on his backpack tightly. There were enough supplies for him to last for days but before that he had to change his appearance.
Even if these creatures had accepted different humans,he still thought they weren't open to aliens right now.
He started walking in the dim lit trees It reminded him of his deserts. For him forest and wild had a different meaning. It meant water,transilluminated floor filled with squishy liquid that lit when ever you stepped on it. Water was if pink color. Animals never walked on the land,they rather flew everywhere.
And it was up understandable. It felt weird how that little fish like water animal was hissing at him while he ate a rodent.
Yes rodents were common in his planet. But small and even dwindling.
"Leave it you foul beast" he had shouted,not wanting to see the bloodshed in front of his eyes.
But the earth cat gave two shits to him,ignored him like a bee and continued eating his hard earned food.
The pale blue men with eyes of violet stared unbelievable.How was this allowed here on earth. Had it been his home,the animal would have been caged.
They took care of endangered species even if it was a minor rodent.
They crossed oceans to keep their planet running and alive and that was the exact reason he was here today.
He was here to find his hope,for his people this journey met survival of generation.
Three Jupiter's before,it wasn't only rodents and other animals that went endangered. There females too started dying. Some said a curse was put on them. Some said it was a result of a disease that the other planets sent in their way.
But for him it was a punishment for not worrying enough,for taking granted the love he was bestowed upon by the God.He always worried for wars,loot and women. Not once caring that he had betrothed, a mate waiting for him at his palace.
Flashback as the man crooses a puddle.
It was a happy day, everyone was dancing.A girl was born at his sister's household. It was rare that girls were born here,they were dwindling and it was a matter of worry. The scientists if his kingdom told that the females were weakening,their genes loosing there female characters but the elders never payed heed.
"Gift her the west place if nbura" his father had told him as he was the king now.
"Indeed,the girl deserves palaces and jewels" he smiled and kissed the baby on her forehead.
He slept after that,not staying to celebrate and drink. For being a monarch,he was pretty well raised.
The next day when he took rounds around the city,a news came to him that the central health aid hall was flooded with unconscious women. It included his sister along with her breastfed daughter.
"It's bad,there are signs of poisonous failure in their organs and they are dying in blink" the healer sad as he entered the halls if healing.
His heart pounded ou of his chest. His sister was his parents most priced jewel. And after her husband died in war,she was even more loved now. To know that her and her child were ath verge of dying,he was broken.
As he walked forward,he came across loads of women dead and wrapped in their final attires being played in coffins.
He closed his eyes and opened them once again to walk through them, praying that his sister wasn't in them.
"Sir...the princess.... She and her child..."a healer came running to him,his breath too difficult to say anything more.
"Don't say much"
Flashback ends.
It was painful to remember those things,he thought as he wiped that lone tear from his cheek.
It was morinig now and unfront if him was a bustling city with humans walking here and there.
It was best to start his mission now.
Thinking this he opened his bag and took some cloths out from his bag.
It was a bag filled of human money a d clothes.
2million USD cash,his father had said as he gave it to him.
He wore the clothes and stepped out.
As he came down from the forest,his stomach grumbled.
He was hungry. Hadn't had outula or anything since he went for the mission.
As he looked here and there, adjusting his shirt that irritated him,he saw a girl lining up to vehicle that was giving out food.
Back at home,they had robos to make all these but here it was human doing all this
Poor people couldn't even adopt a robibrother.
He went towards the food truck.
"Baked potato"he read and smiled at his intelligence. Yes he had learn the universal language if this place before coming.
He stood behind a man and made a queue.
He noticed they were offering some currency to the seller.
He took his bag out and rumaged through the bundles of money and found some 100 dollar bill.
Some of it even fell on the floor,which he picked up immediately.
As his turn came,the big fat seller asked him hlabout his food.
One thing was common in food sellers of both the planets,they were fat and scary looking.
"What's your order man"he asked and looked at him.
He was thinking,looking at the numerous options he was given at the side of the truck.
In all of it,one thing grabbed his mind.
Spaced big chicken burrito.
Yeah he would eat that coz it had chicken. His father told him to eat everything that had chicken.
"This with something to drink..." He formed a sentence and smiled at the end.
"Okayuuy" the man said and begin fixing the order.
After five minutes,the man handed him the food and he gave him money.
There's your remaining 90 bud.
He took the money and confusingly bowed to him.
He ate that whole ball of some fiber meat,it felt salted and creamy even.
It reminded him of a roasted animal they cooked back home call cukakrkkrroooo and it made resemblance to it.
