heres the first chapter
Chapter 1
I stare out the window of the space craft as hundreds of stars flash past us. I watch as my home planet becomes smaller and smaller until it is swallowed up by the never ending blackness of space. Once it is gone, I sit back in my seat and look at the menu of food. Anything I could possibly want is on the menu and I scroll through it until I decide what I want. Then I order it from a young man in a blue apron. He bows politely and goes off to tell the cooks. I lean back and wait for the food to come. My brother, Nico, sleeps soundly beside me, his snores help to calm my growing anticipation. We would be there soon. That’s all I can think. When my food arrives, I eat it slowly, enjoying the delicious taste. I place the plate on a cart and it instantly disappears. That is the wonder of our technology. It is very advanced compared to Earths from what I’ve heard. They have the most basic of technology and it is quite sad. Although from the holograms I have seen, Earth is a very beautiful planet. My commander, Treyson, taps me on the shoulder and I turn my head. He smiles and leans down. “You may want to wake your brother, we are nearly there, Princess” He says. I nod and gently shake Nico. “Wah?” He asks sleepily. “We are almost there.” I say. He blinks the sleep from his eyes and stretches luxuriously.
“Is everyone ready for boarding?” Treyson asks. I nod. Before us is the ship that will take us down to earth. I board the ship and take a seat near the window. Once everyone is loaded onto the ship, Treyson closes the door and we are launched. I grip Nicos hand tightly as we enter the atmosphere and we make impact with the ground. I’m jolted by the force of the landing. A few moments later, Treyson opens the door and looks outside. Huge trees stand tall all around us as we exit the ship. The air is fresh and clean almost like home. I take a deep breath and exhale exultantly. It feels so good after being cooped up inside the ship for so long. “Alright, we’ll split into squads to find the people who inhabit this planet. Each squad will have a communicator. If you find anything, you are to notify the other squads. Understood?” He asks. We all nod. “Good,” He says before breaking us into squads. Excitement bubbles up inside me as I imagine what this planet has in store for me.
