Polis is a beautiful city. There are many buildings, colorful markets. Every type of things are available here. But most magnificent is the tower. After their people has seen us, they bowed for their Commander. They are looking at me and to my Jeep with surprise in their eyes. As we get down, we can see 100 of warriors bowing. The Commander orders to rise. I can see a bald man coming to our way. He has tattoos on his head. He looks at me with distrust. We start marching for the tower. But all on a sudden a kid starts shaking. I rush to him. Lexa comes after me. They are afraid to let me touch him. But Lexa orders them to let me help.

After I am done with treating, the boy opens his eyes. All are surprised. I give his parents some advice for him. And surprisingly they bowed before me. I look at Lexa, she has assuring smile on her face. The bald man tells us to enter the tower. He is still not happy with me. But I can see his eyes are less cold than before.

My room is allowed by the Lexa. It is a luxurious room. Lexa has asked me to join them for dinner. I step on the balcony and look around. What an excellent view! While I turn back, I look up and Lexa is standing and looking at me. Her room is above mine. She is looking so beautiful. The setting sun falls on her face. Her beautiful look takes my breath away. Then she gives me a smile and goes to her room.

In the dinner, I am introduced with teens who are her successors. She tells me that after her death her spirit will choose one of them. Lexa introduces the bald man as Titus. Gustus, Indra, Costia and Anya also join us. As I am eating, teens are giving me glances. I ask the one beside me to tell me their names. He tells me that he is Aden. Other 3 are Pelo, Niso and Miku. I start taking to them and they ask many questions about my life. I like their enthusiasm. Lexa is also listening to the conversation. I tell them how everything look like from space.

Aden ask me if I like earth or not. Lexa also looks at me. Costia tells that I of course like space. But I tell them that space was just to keep us alive. All my life I wanted to come to earth. Trees, streams, wind everything of the earth make me more liveable. And it is no doubt I will always chose earth over space.

I tell them, may be all of us have difference as we were born in different places. But all of us are human. Before going to space our ancestors were born here. We agree or not all of us are related. Lexa looks at me with a strange look. Even Costia looks impressed but not Titus. He tells me that we don't have many similarities. I look at him and ask him if tomorrow there will be a war and the children of Polis are sent to other places for safety and years later they come back, won't they accept! Titus can't answer for a moment. Then he tells it is different. I look at him and say, it's on us. If we think us different than we are different. But for me, I think everyone same.
