Okay so you’re probably wondering how it all came to this, well first of all I'm not a human, no I'm a Anemoi we are a galactic Civilisation that helps create and maintain life across the universe seeking prosperity blah blah blah and I was assigned to be an architect ,I don't who's brilliant idea that was but whatever.
So one night it was my shift and I was up late building this really cool looking star system when my mate Stultus runs up to me all giddy, his eyes darting all over the place. Then he just stares at me eagerly and screams,' Euros, let’s make a supernova!!' ,'I look at him and roll my eyes at him visibly irritated ,’ Come on man it would be so cool’ Stultus replies ‘No’ I responded ‘Please’ Stultus said pleadingly ‘NO, are you high on star dust or something.’ I said.
Suddenly he just starts animating his hands all over the place shouting explosion noises. ‘You’d think being the most highly advanced civilisation in the Universe and having the power to create entire galaxies with the click of a button we wouldn’t have people acting like five year olds’ I thought.
But here I am watching my closest friend infuriatingly jump around like an idiot. All of a sudden he just stopped stared at me anxiously and then ran for the Consol. He then began throwing his hands over the various holographic buttons and before I could do anything a deafening boom overwhelmed my ears and I watched as a wave of light streamed across space and blinded me momentarily before Staltus and I were knocked to our feat.
Once my vision had been restored I stared at Stultus enraged then jumped to my feet and began to punch him incessantly shouting furiously, ’you idiot’ before me and him we hastily detained by a few Anemoi officers. I attempted desperately to tell them what happened but l soon stopped after I received (let’s just say) a thorough pounding which resulted in me getting knocked out.
I awoke but kept my eyes tightly shut; to afraid to confront my situation but inevitably curiosity and blind fear overwhelmed I and I opened my eyes.
‘Dammit’ I thought to myself furiously I had found myself in quite the predicament if when you say predicament you mean a galactic jail cell. In frustration I threw my leg against the cell’s force field but soon felt a searing pain up my spine and could distinctively smell burning, ‘Ah’ I screamed. ‘Wow I should’ve thought that through’ I wearily mumbled to myself as I tended to my now burnt foot.
As I lay down my foot stretched across the prison bed, I turned my head and gazed at my now subsequently smaller surroundings. Words in various Alien tongues were etched across the wall and a solemn silence seemed to shroud the entire prison, ‘Bit of a mood dampener’ I thought.
I gazed inquisitively at the cell opposite me it seemed to be inhabited by a Vashna (with its distinct fangs and turquoise scales). The Vashna are an ancient race of worries I recalled, intrigued I signalled to the person in the cell next to him and asked, ’What’s he in for.’ the guy quickly responded,’ Shoplifting’ I sniggered then replied,’ your serious right’ he nodded. ‘Wow’ I thought ‘an ancient race of warrior aliens reduced to a shoplifter, I think I’ve just found the highlight of my day although punching Stultus was quite fun.’
As I lay quietly upon the bed I felt my eyes start to flutter and I feel asleep but before long I was awoken by a prison guard slicing my pillow in half with a laser baton. I squinted then opened my eyes, I watched as the guard scrolled through a holographic catalogue of cell inmates then said,’ you must be Eurus; I believe you have a trial to attend specifically yours.’ I replied desperately,’ There must be a misunderstanding it was Stultus I couldn’t stop him’,’ save that for the trial’ the guard said half heartedly.
I walked slowly trying to saviour as much time as a free man as possible before I was soon shoved through a door and into the imperial court, I looked around the court room before my eyes settled upon the epitome of all my anger, Stultus.
As I sat down I kept my gaze upon him resisting the urge the jump from my seat and strangle him.
After a few moments I settled down and the judge declared the session had commenced, I once again fixed my gaze upon Stultus but he turned away. Suddenly Stultus’ lawyer stood up then began to defend him, ‘Now on the date in question my client will not deny he was intoxicated but Euros here made no attempt to stop him tampering with the consol ,’ objection’ my lawyer and I said at once but the judge wouldn’t hear it,’ silence in court’ and before my lawyer could even amount any sort of defence it was time for the inevitable verdict the Judge banged the imperial gavel which had been enhanced much to the Judges liking to echo the gavels bang throughout the court room .
There was a short pause before the Judge announced his verdict my palms were sweating uncontrollably. Then the Judge announced the verdict,’ The two Anemoi sat here today are both guilty of a crime of some nature, Stultus for taking illegal substances I sentence you to two weeks servitude to the Anemoi galactic Empire and Eurus for the most heinous crimes of Neglecting your duty, Creating without official authorisation and attacking a fellow Anemoi you are sentence to exile on one of the recently formed planets you’ve created, we’ve called it Earth.’
‘Please no you can’t do this to me, I’m begging you’ I cried. Two guards then grabbed me pulled me to my feet and the next thing I know I’m walking solemnly towards an Anemoi space vessel with cuffs shackled to my hands but before I entered the vessel I took one last fleeting glance at my home the Anemoi genesis space station before I was aggressively thrust by one of the guards into the vessel.
The ship then detached from the station and took off. After a few moments one of the guards walked up to me with a syringe in his hand and before I could do anything the silvery point of the syringe penetrated my skin,' What are you doing' I asked 'its a surprise' the guards remarked. All of a sudden I began to notice a burning, rocky planet full of magma coming closer and closer into view,’ Wait that’s Earth, I’m going to burn to death’ I cried miserably ‘Yeah that’s the intention’ one of the guards replied ‘ oh no I think there’s a little more to it than that’ the other guard scoffed. ‘What do you mean’ I asked
‘Oh you’ll soon find out’ the guard responded. Suddenly they took of my cuffs and through me into one of the vessels escape pod; I banged against the pods window but to no avail. The pod then ejected and began to plummet to Earth,’ oh crap I’m going to die’ I screamed as I ran my fingers through my hair.
A few moments later a deafening thud ran through the entire pod as it landed and most of the bottom half was torn off by the impact. Then the pod began to break apart and I fell into the scorching lava, the pain was incomprehensible, I couldn’t even cry out , and then everything went dark...
