The ship landed

The ship landed. A part of the ship opened up and we flew out of a balcony that was a part of the ship. I put my hands on my hips and stared at the view. 

I have never seen this much beautiful scenery in my life. There were fields of green grass with different coloured flowers everywhere. There were crystal blue waterfalls. The sun shined through the trees. The sky had different shades of blue mixed into one. It was amazing. 

I smiled and stared in awe. 

Ego turned around. "Welcome, everyone, to my world" he said, gesturing to the secrecy of the planet. "Wow. You have your own planet?" Peter asked in awe. "Come on. No larger than your Earth's Moon" Ego replied, turning around. "Humility. I like it. I, too, am extraordinarily humble" Drax says. 

Multicoloured bubbles surrounded us. Gamora reached out to them. I reached out and touched one. It exploded into a million smaller ones. I couldn't help but smile. I felt like a six year old again. It felt, almost too good to be true. But I didn't care. It was beautiful. 

Drax reached out and touched one. He even touched one and it exploded into a million smaller ones. He started laughing.  

I looked over at Peter. He looked amazed, which he should be. His dad has his own planet which looks amazing. 

As a kid, I always felt bad for Peter. He never had a dad. So he carried around a picture of David Hasselhoff in his pocket and told all the other kids that his dad was David Hasselhoff and he was always out of town. I didn't believe it since I wasn't gullible as a kid. But that did make me feel bad. Here I was, a lonely four year old with a father and step mom, and even Peter's mom acted like a mother to me.  Peter was mostly alone. So now that he has found his dad, I am seriously happy for him. 

We arrived in front of a amazing golden palace.  The balcony ship landed and opened. A little walkway formed and we walked off. We fallowed Ego. I noticed a fountain with fish flying through it with the water. That kind freaked me out. 

"You own a planet and can destroy two dozen spaceships without a suit. What are you exactly?" Gamora asked. "I'm what's called a Celestial, sweetheart" Ego replied. 

Drax, Gamora, Peter and I stopped in our tracks. I've never heard of Celestials but it sounds kind powerful. I mean, he blew up two dozen ships and owns a planet. 

"A Celestial, like a god?" Peter asked. Yeah, what he said, I guess. 

Ego turned around to face us. "Mmm, small "g," son" he said as he formed an inch with his fingers. "At least on the days I'm feeling humble as Drax." Ego began chuckling as he walked up the stairs. I tilt my head in confusion. 

We walk into his palace. It was well, gorgeous. It was gold with silvery bronze designs and these white pods on the left side. I couldn't help but stare. It was beautiful.  "Woah" Peter exclaimed.
