At last, the Asturnians have discovered their first life-sustaining extraterrestrial planet, Soruvis. Even better, there's an intelligent species. Relief and excitement sweeps across the news. They carefully formulate a plan to interact with the newly discovered lifeforms, but they are in for a surprise, one that may make them regret revealing themselves to Soruvis in the first place. Disclaimer: I wrote this novella in September of 2019. Any resemblance of events in the story to real life events is coincidental, but still eerie.

These will be stories that will be added eventually. I am very scattered brain so I jump between ideas a lot, this will help me organize them. When I have enough chapters of an idea I will make it a full book. Only thing that belongs to me is plot and a few original characters!! (Also updates will be made every new prompt made).
