Chereads / "The Last Frontier" / Chapter 4 - Chapter 4

Chapter 4 - Chapter 4

After a few hours of travel, we reached the planet's surface. The atmosphere was breathable, but it was thick and humid, making it difficult to breathe. We stepped out of the spacecraft, and I felt my feet sink into the soft, damp soil. The air was filled with the sounds of strange creatures, and I couldn't help but feel a sense of fear and excitement all at once.

We made our way through the thick jungle, our eyes scanning for any signs of life or danger. The plants were like nothing I had ever seen before. They towered over us, and their colors were so vibrant they almost seemed to glow.

As we walked, we noticed strange markings on the trees, almost like a language. It was clear that we were not alone on this planet. Suddenly, we heard a rustling in the bushes, and we all froze. I raised my blaster, ready to defend myself, but then a small, furry creature emerged. It was like nothing I had ever seen before, with bright purple fur and large, expressive eyes.

I lowered my blaster, feeling a sense of relief. As we continued on our journey, we encountered more strange creatures, each one more fascinating than the last. It was like a whole new world had been opened up to me, and I couldn't help but feel a sense of wonder and amazement.

But as the sun began to set, the beauty of the planet began to fade away. The colors of the plants and creatures grew darker, and the sounds became more ominous. It was then that we realized we were being watched.

We quickened our pace, but the feeling of being followed only grew stronger. Suddenly, we heard a loud roar, and we turned to see a massive creature towering over us. It was like nothing we had ever seen before, with sharp claws and teeth and a thick hide that seemed impenetrable.

We raised our blasters, but it was no use. The creature charged at us, and I braced myself for the impact. But then, out of nowhere, a group of humanoid beings appeared, wielding weapons that glowed with a bright blue light.

They fought the creature off, and as it retreated into the jungle, they turned to us. They spoke a language I couldn't understand, but their gestures were clear. They were inviting us to come with them, to their village.

We followed them, feeling a sense of gratitude and relief. As we entered their village, I couldn't help but wonder what other wonders and dangers lay ahead on this strange new planet.
