Starlight

Meeting

Twinkle, twinkle, little star, how I wonder what you are, up above the world so high, like a diamond in the sky…..twinkle, twinkle, little star, how I wonder, what you are……

Every planet I visit. War. Anger. Greed. A thousand years, with nothing. Does this endless space have no true heart?

It was that, which I thought for eons. I was passing by galaxies, my dark shape invisible throughout the endless array of stars. Although some looked like shining pearls, full of innocence, a dark shadow lurched inside. I was starting to believe that hope wasn’t an option,

Until……

“Huh?” I thought, as a bright light stopped my path. It was a spiral-shaped galaxy. Emitting a blinding light. It slowly spun, as the minuscule specks of rocks, planets, and stars, mixed together.

“Interesting.” I said to myself, speeding towards the system. The stars slowly began to separate, as I was in the middle of the galaxy. I looked around, small rocks brushing against my fur. As I looked behind, a star was burning bright. Emitting heat, and flares, I slowly exanimated my surroundings, after taking a good look at the burning giant. I shone the light on my head, looking around.

“Impossible.” I said. A tiny planet, barely the size of any around. But the planet had bright shades of green and blue, not a single streak of evil showing. I was overjoyed. As I rushed towards the planet, I could start seeing the green….matter, and the blue liquids. But as soon as I approached, I was taken by surprise, by a change in the gravity. Losing my control, I tried to regain control, but to no avail. I had no other choice but to plunge into the ground. As the ground was upon me, I closed my eyes.

I then woke up. A massive whole had been created in the place I landed. The bright light was beautiful, the blue skies and the green spreading across the whole land. Peace. I had found it, hadn’t I? As soon as I tried to get up, I let out an ear shattering howl. The fall had hurt me, and not in light ways. The gravity had sped up my fall by at least 10 times. As I kept trying, the results were nothing but more, and more pain. I let my head fall on the ground, as I soon saw a figure. Then two, no. Three. And then, thousands of more creatures came running towards me. White, furry things. I panicked, as I thought they were attackers. But they did not attack me. One by one, started going under me, lifting me up on what I believed were their heads. I tried to get up, but I was even more exhausted than before. Whimpering a little bit, I blacked out.

I woke up to see a face. A white, round face. I couldn’t feel my legs very well, and the white figure kept staring at me. I struggled to talk.

“Who….are..you?” I asked. She smiled, gently. That moment, I could feel my soul shifting. The way she smiled, was something I had never encountered.

“That does not matter right now.” She said. I tried to stay still, remembering what had happened.

“Where Am…I?” I said, slowly regaining myself.

“Home.” I was confused at first, but then I realized that this was her home. She checked my leg, wrapping It with a green object. I then moved my leg around for a moment, realizing the numbness.

“It will heal.” She said, smiling again. I looked at her with an unsure face. I turned away from her, getting up. I then realized, I was in a dome. A strange dome, looking twisted. The ground was soft and moist, and the walls looked tough, and solid. I then proceeded to trot out, with a slight limp in my leg. And as I focused myself to fly, nothing happened. I was too hurt to fly, I concluded. As I lied down again, she came and sat by.

“You are too hurt to fly. Aren’t you?” She said, while rubbing my head.

Before I could say anything, I stayed calm, her hands felt so soft. Then, it came to me again. I had found innocence. I had found a peaceful land. I smiled on the inside. I was still unsure about the lady, but she seemed to be nice. She then looked up into the sky, covering one eye with her hand, squinting.
