AIRCRAFT YZXG, 2056.
The last time she saw her mother, she was telling her and her younger sister a story. It lacked the enthusiasm and the happiness normal childhood stories used to have. Parents couldn't afford to give their children that shield—the sweet bliss of ignorance. So, she told the truth. As they lay in a tiny, wooden bed beneath the ground, surrounded by mud, feces, and several other families, she told her girls about the ending of their old world.
What looked to be hundreds of stars, pushed their way beyond the horizon at the brink of dawn. Those stars turned out to be large, terrifying chunks of metal, powered by technology that humanity never got a chance to understand. She told them how they used powerful beams to reach out to her when she was a child, ripping her from the shaking arms of her parents, and into a pod so small, it felt like it lacked air. And then she spoke of what it felt like when she was taken from the atmosphere of the earth. How the world got smaller and smaller until it was a mere dot in the distance. She had no idea if her parents were taken too, or if they'd been left to die with the billions of others, as a bright light collided with the floating rock and tore it apart.
And then, she spoke of the several different aliens she'd seen. How they enslaved what was left of humanity, cursed them, and treated them like the dirt beneath their shoes. And when the night was at its peak, she told them the most important thing.
"Listen to me, Celeste, Avalon. These things are going to torture our kind in the most horrendous ways. So, you have to be able to fight back. To not be weak. So, no matter what, lean on each other and have each other's blind side. Never leave one behind, because the galaxy is a long, gaping hole of stars. If you're separated, you'll never find each other again."
She wanted to tell them more. To say that she loved them more than life itself. But before she could, the doors opened and two, large, reptilian aliens walked in.
"Annabeth."
It was the only thing they said in English. Their mother's name. The girls were screaming as their mother was ripped from their embrace and taken to the unknown behind that door. To this day, they don't know what happened to her, but her wild, ferocious yells of resistance, were pasted into their minds.
They would never forget her words, even now, twenty tears later. They would never forget her, nor the hatred they held in their heart for the creatures of the stars. This is why they are able to travel through the depths of the darkness, wondering it, with the fiery blaze of blood in their eyes.
"Are you sure this is gonna work, Avalon?"
She turned to her younger, light-brown sister. Her hair was tied in braids and her body was covered in a skin-tight suit like her own. Her scowl was deep, and her eyebrows were knotted. The risk bothered her; Avalon could see that. But she did nothing to ease her worries. Instead, she smirked at her.
"No, but do you have a better idea?"
Celeste scowled. "Don't be an asshole."
Avalon rolled her large, dark brown eyes. "Look, we've been studying this hellhole since we were kids. We know the route. All we need to do is be quiet and stealthy. We'll find a ship for you to fly in no time. If anything, I should be the one questioning you. We are depending on your ability to fly a spaceship when you've never flown one before."
