Hey my stars! ...
Robecca Scorton, a 400-year-old alien disguised as a human, awoke in a wrecked diamond-shaped spaceship in rural California. Her mission: eliminate humanity. But the crash, the soft grass, and the immediate encounter with a bewildered, blue-eyed mechanic named Jonathan Scot threw her carefully constructed plan into chaos. The desperate kiss, intended as a linguistic shortcut, yielded unexpected intimacy. Jonathan, oblivious to her true nature and extraterrestrial origins, offered her shelter, a haven from the unknown.
Inside his humble home, Robecca, clad in her iron armor suit, felt a peculiar unease. The mundane reality of Jonathan's life - his quiet existence, his unfulfilled ambitions - felt strangely...alien to her. His simple, human dreams seemed a stark contrast to her programmed mission. The ether stones, the jewels of Xbin499, felt distant, their power muted by the sheer ordinariness of her surroundings. Jonathan's Pisces nature, his gentle vulnerability, was a puzzle she couldn't solve using the cold logic of her mission programming.
That night, staring at the moon from Jonathan's window, Robecca felt the cold steel of her armor weigh heavily upon her. The weight wasn't of metal, but of a burgeoning empathy, a connection to this human who had shown her unexpected kindness. The plan to destroy humanity seemed impossibly cruel now, a jarring dissonance against the quiet rhythm of Jonathan's breathing in the next room. Her mission, once clear, was now clouded in a fog of uncertainty, her heart beating a rhythm as human as Jonathan's own.
Survival in space was our only option. The dying earth and its sickly inhabitants forced us to flee to the stars. My father, the commander of the elite group chosen to live amongst the stars, brought me along for the journey. And everything was going smoothly until I unexpectedly woke up on a new planet, one with an ethereal glow and an eerie resemblance to our old home as the commander of the military space force, my father tasked his men with exploring this new world. But what they discovered was far from welcoming. This new planet was already inhabited by terrifying creatures, and they were not happy with our presence. His men fought to survive against these beasts, I couldn't help but wonder why they were so hostile towards us. That's when one of them approached me, defying everything we had been warned about. Instead of attacking, it watched me pick flowers before later saving me from a fiery blast. Now it's my turn to save him.
Please read the prologue in the beginning before going to Chapter 1. I know a lot of people skip Prologues, however, it has important information that will give you a better understanding of what's going on in other chapters.
