Among Us Fanfiction Book 1: Salvation

Chapter 1

     I was born on the planet Mira in the Ursula Galaxy far, far away. I was born into an age of exploration and adventure. Our planets flourished and prospered. There was never any internal struggles or wars or anything of the sort - until 3021 - 1 - 1, when disaster struck. 

     A battle armada of about 20,000 ships surrounded our empire overnight, leaving us scared and uncertain. Our government tried to negotiate peace, but they were hunted down and killed before they could even send their first message. Then it happened. Every single ship they had opened fire. They went for our cities first, decimating everything in them. Then they went for our towns and farms and industries. Our whole civilization was destroyed in just hours! All except for one ship that escaped in the nick of time. There were only 500 of us left.

     We traveled for months and months at a time, only stopping for supplies and fuel. Another species, the human race, gave us resources and food every time we came upon one of their colonies. Then the unthinkable happened - we found hope. There was a planet 5 light years from our current position that was able to support life. It was named "Polus," which means "salvation" in my language. We locked in the flight path and set sail.

       But this salvation came at a price. For at that very moment something stirred that had not stirred for a very long time. Years, in fact. And it knew only one language - blood.
