Terra Nova

Awakening

Targssi was looking at the vastness of space through the round window of the Draconian spaceship he was staying in.

He sighed. Since the day he woke up all sweaty and anxious from that dream, he couldn't stop thinking about it. Destruction, chaos, suffering, pain, death. From the moment he and his brother Yishk hatched from the eggs, they spent their entire lives learning all about staying loyal to the Empire, how the other races always ignored Reptilians thinking the Light was superior to them, how the Intergalactic war started... while further developing their psychic abilities, of course. Their motto was basically something like "we lizards come always first, trust nobody else".

No. The decision was already taken. He was old enough to take his own choices. His mind remembered his mother whom he loved dearly, killed by one of the lasers from their enemy's starships. It didn't matter anyway anymore. He stood up, noticing Yishk entering the room, drinking a blood based soft drink.

"Yishk".

"Mhm?"

"Pick up your things. Quickly. We going."

"Wtf where? Are you crazy??"

Targssi tightened his neck muscles with telekinesis for a brief second, making him unable to speak, while speaking telepathically "weren't you always the one complaining about being locked up here all the time and seeking new adventures?? Get up, we're going."

Yishk nodded.

"I'm tired of all of this anyway" Targssi muttered.

Around half an hour later, they were sitting on one of the small yet fast fighter ships. Targssi turned the engines on, following by his brother's help to check that the rest was functioning properly.
One second later they took off.

The brothers didn't even have time to set the autopilot as the radar showed them that a couple of ships from the royal family were already showing up behind them.

Targssi cursed to his side and accelerated to light speed. Yishk focused on shooting to them back, trying his best to slow them at least. It wasn't a great plan, as one of the lasers hit the brothers ship's right wing.

"Targss! We're approaching a planet!"

Fire was eating out the ship at a high speed. The Reptilian teenager quickly analysed the planet, checking the coordinates and available information shown, while Yishk was trying everything so they could land in a safe place. The ship seemed to be directed straight to a dense forest.

"Well, fuck it. Welcome to Earth" thought he before everything went dark.
