Chapter 22 - Hope

Nolan eventually came across a planet. It was bright green but mostly blue, and there were lights on the dark side of it, indicating intelligent life with technology. Nolan saw the planet, and he thought it was beautiful—the most beautiful thing he had ever seen.

So he decided to fly down through its atmosphere and land on the ground. Around him, he saw many tall grey structures with squares of a clear material that he hadn't seen before. There was a trail of black rock under his feet, and on both sides of the trail, there were grey platforms where creatures stood.

Creatures with tan-colored skin and hair on the top of their heads. Strange, colorful pieces of cloth draped from their shoulders over their breasts, and another piece hung from their waists, covering their skinny legs. They were all looking at him with curiosity and confusion.

And then they let out an ear-grinding sound and put one of their feet in front of the other, pivoting off the ground instead of the air, and did the same thing with their other foot—moving across the ground without flight.

They were curious little things. The way they fled from the slightest movement without even investigating if it was dangerous or not. They were also very stupid, relying on instinct instead of real sense. But they ran.

And Nolan opened his mouth to say:

"Are any of you strange creatures kind enough to help me carry my burden?"
