it was a beautiful starry night in the middle of a forest close to a remote village, everything was as it was in the past month, and the month before that.
suddenly, this peacefulness was broken by the sound of something soaring through the sky.
A meteorite broke the silence of the night when it entered the earth's atmosphere and crashed on a clear patch of land surrounded by trees, leaving behind a wide crater and a deformed landscape.
The meteorite had bright red gem-like stones on its surface, these stones fractured and disintegrated due to the force of the impact when the meteorite fell on the Earth, leaving a cloud of red dust floating around the impact site.
the dust floated up and went in the direction of the village,
The dust seemed to have some kind of will, and seemed to be looking for something, and once it got to the village it went down and entered the chimney of a house. It made its way through the house's rooms and entered a bedroom where there was a sick boy with worn-out clothes and straight short black hair with a lethal fever resting on the bed, or at least trying to, his body was burning at the temperature of 40 degrees celsius (104 Fahrenheit).
The dust filled up the boy's room, and he ended up inhaling the dust. as he inhaled the dust and the substance filled his lungs, he stopped feeling the fever, as if the fever didn't bother him anymore.
The tips of his hair shifted color to a very dark red, reminding the color of a dying flame.
And then he could finally sleep, after days without sleeping due to the disease.
Of course, the meteorite had made a lot of noise, so everyone in the village was woken up by the sound. The leaders of the village sent 3 people to check on what had made the sound, they weren't concerned since this was a very pacific and isolated region.
They also sent some people to check on the villagers, except one. The deceased boy wasn't checked on. Everyone in the village knew about his state, he was quarantined so the disease wouldn't spread to the other villagers, they usually would bring him food, and water and check on him once in a while to see if he was dead.
There weren't any medics in the village so they could do nothing but wait for someone sick to either die or recover using their immune system.
So the boy stayed there, sleeping with the dust in his room while the village was wondering what had caused the sound.
The village chief some villagers to check what had happened and where the noise came from. Once the villagers got to the impact crater they were surprised, they said to each other
"What is this thing doing here? It doesn't seem natural..." - said the villager with a hue of concern
"Whatever it is, it is destroyed everything around here."
"Did this thing fall out of the sky or something like that?"
"I don't know. Let's report it to the chief."

A day later...
At about 08:00 AM the villagers sent someone to give the boy food and water, but once he got there, he was surprised by the boy that changed hair colors "magically" and seemed fine.
The boy didn't show any sign of disease whatsoever, actually, he was running around the room looking like a little kid.
The villager swiftly went to tell the news to the mother and father of the child.
Once the parents found out they rejoiced and ran to see their children who had been sick for almost 2 years.
The village chief had prohibited any type of meeting with the boy
