Father:

I followed Rox through the aperture and as I did I noticed that the strange purple lights surrounded most of the ship. I saw images in them of planets, stars, meteor showers and soon enough plants and strange creatures I had never seen before, but I passed by the images so quickly that I could only have a glimpse of what the walls of this strange ship presented.

"I am sorry. We are experiencing technical difficulties due to the crash," Rox said.

"What did happen anyway?" I wondered with authentic curiosity. I didn't understand how could such an advanced species as yourself could crash?" I asked him.

"I did not provoke the crash for I am not the Captain of this ship," Rox said.

"Oh. So it was your master then?" I asked. Rox suddenly turned around and I stopped instantly. My nose almost crashed on the middle of his non-nasal face.

"Do not blame my master for anything that has happened. Is that clear?" He said. I nodded quickly.

"Sure. I wasn't blaming him. I swear," I said.

"Joe, do you treasure your life?" Rox said and I nodded again afraid and confused.

"Then please... do not say anything against the master," he said and turned around. His robe ruffled with his movements like a long cape.

"I didn't mean to-"

"Your intentions will not matter to him. Only your actions. You must be very careful when you are to speak to him," he said to me. We walked a long corridor of with paneled walls and then an area where I could see rocks as walls and the floor was all a purple mist as we continued to walk along the space craft. Voices of other beings spoke languages I couldn't understand.

"What are they saying?" I asked Rox as my heart began to beat faster. Rox stopped again.

"I am detecting strange heartbeats from you again. I will give you something to calm down your heartbeat," he said. He placed his index finger up and something out of the tip of his finger popped up. It was two inches long, metallic and it was in the shape of a square. It looked like an eraser on a pencil.

"What's that?" I asked.

"Shmla," he said. I frowned.

"What?" I asked.

"It is to calm your heartbeat. I will induce this chemical on your chest and you will immediately receive the relief you need. Please open the buttons of your shirt," Rox ordered and I obeyed. He pressed his cold, metallic finger on my chest and I felt a pinch like when one goes to get a shot at the hospital. It was quick and painless. I noticed however that the two-inched squared tip was gone.

"You will be relaxed within the next twenty-five seconds," Rox said and he turned around. As instantly as I opened my mouth I felt the rapid heartbeats slow down.

"Damn that was fast," I blurted out unintentionally.

"What is damn?" Rox tilted and asked.

"Oh, nothing. It's a bad word. You shouldn't use it," I said shaking my head.

"Well for the Sha' it is considered quite a slow way of healing and they grow weary and tired of it, but it is the Shmla is the only thing that is available for relaxation," Rox said.

"I wish Tylenol worked in twenty-five seconds," I remarked.

"What is Tylenol?" Rox asked.

"Tylenol is a medicine for fevers and for coughing... and for... colds," I said.

"Oh. That is interesting to know. I have always had a passion for medicine," Rox said.

"You're a doctor?" I asked. Rox stopped up to a certain point where there was a dead end. He looked at me with his bright blue lights that were his eyes.

"I am many things. Joe my master is in his Mshli or his quiet room. I will enter and you will follow. You will not speak until spoken to. Once I have announced you, you will bow and then kneel in front of the master with your head bowed. You are not to stare up to the master unless he tells you to. Your hands must always be visible and you cannot move or leave until you are ordered to," Rox said. My hands already trembled and I was wondering if the Shamla or whatever he called it was working on me anymore because I felt my heart beats drum again.

"You must breathe very slowly Joe. It is now the only thing that can calm your heart. Please do so. You are a very interesting subject and I do not wish to see you die," he said. I swallowed hard. Then Rox turned around and the wall suddenly lifted and I was walking behind Rox. I was totally afraid of this master he kept on talking about and my arms and legs just couldn't stop their trembling. Suddenly Rox stopped and gestured for me to stop too. I wanted to see who his master was because the curiosity was overwhelming, but then also the fear was so intense, the beads of sweat on my back unfolding, that at the same time I didn't want to see him. Rox spoke in that strange language that I had heard before on the images of the walls and then I heard the master's voice. It was deep, husky and very cold. I did not like it and I wanted to flee from that place, but I didn't have a choice and when I heard Rox say my name I knelt and bowed down to whoever the hell the master was as fast as I could. My eyes were down and I tried to keep my hands visible like Rox had instructed. I didn't dare to say a single word and waited to be talked to. The seconds went by as the awkward silence was all over the place. The purple mist was not in this room. It had a dark, stone like floor instead and I trembled when I felt a dark cape brush my foot. I saw part of his dark clothes, like that of a long shroud maybe walking around in circles. I breathed slowly as Rox had said and after the strange silence Rox interrupted it.

"Joe is not-"

"You mean the human?" He asked interrupting Rox immediately with rage. I swallowed hard and felt that I wanted to defend him, but I didn't know if it was a good idea to do so. Instead I kept quiet.

"Yes Master-"

"You will call me by my real title and not use this profane language that we speak of the humans!" He interrupted again and I could have sworn that he had roared. I wanted to see him, but I was feeling more fear as the seconds just passed by.

"Bhashata Brok," Rox answered, but he seemed either unaware of his master's mood or unmoved by it. I in the other hand was terrified, but then again he was something and I didn't know what the hell he was.

"Human, why have you interrupted my Lipstishia?" He asked. I was about to meet eye contact with him, when Rox interrupted and urged me not to.

"He has only asked a question, not requested to be looked upon," Rox said.

"Be quiet!" His master said. I immediately faced the floor again and thanked Rox in my mind for saving my ass.

"Humans seem much inferior than what we thought. This one bores me," the master said.

"I want to leave your ship," I answered with a grain of courage. I didn't like to see myself as inferior to anybody else.

"How dare you have the audacity to express your desires. This is my ship, my crew and my rule. Your desires are irrelevant to me," the master said.

"I don't belong here," I replied. I wanted to look at him so badly, just to see who the hell he was. I was scared, but tired of looking down. If I was going to die now at least I wanted to see what the hell this was and I figured I was going to die like a man and not like a coward. Brian I love you. Anabella I might die here honey, but your dreams will come true. I swear it upon my grave.

"This is not new to me human. It is obvious by your inferiority that you do not belong," he said. I looked up. I was tired of this. I had never been so afraid in my life, but I was dying like a man today.

"No!" Rox yelled. I saw him. He was tall like a man, not as huge as I'd expect, but still he was tall. He had dark blue skin, thick and straight jet black hair and yellow eyes that terrified the hell out of me. He wore a black garment with long sleeves and a very long black skirt that reached the floor. He had a dark cape and he wore some sort of a jeweled head band that almost looked like a crown.

"You challenge me!" He roared and came charging at me. I covered my face and the master grabbed my neck. I hung on his arm as I choked. I felt all of his force upon me and he had a fierce anger of a wild animal as he attacked me. I tried to fight him off and fidget, but he was too strong.

"Bhashata Brok!" Rox yelled as I choked. I don't know what he said, but I was suddenly launched with force onto the wall. I hit my back on it and fell to the ground. I panted. Rox and the master spoke to each other. I stumbled and I could barely stand.

"The human must return to his kneeling posture," Rox said unemotionally.

"Know your place," the master shouted pointing at me. I heaved and rubbed my harmed neck. I had never been squeezed like that before ever in my life. My chest was hurting me. For sure I was going to die of a heart attack now, but at least I knew who the hell he was and I knew I would die bravely like a real man should do. Rox came to me with a speed I never thought possible. I could barely glimpse him at all and he was already beside me. He did his index finger thing again and pressed it on my chest. Again my heart rate was slowing down and I knelt again. However, I was not willing to look at the floor again and I stared back at him. The master slapped me hard in the face and I fell to the floor.

"Understand this you impotent, inferior human. I am Prince and Lord Sha' and you are nothing but a slave. You can accept your condition now or die with the rest of your pathetic Earthlings. It makes no difference to me. Your world has now been claimed by me, Brok, the Prince of Sha. Our dominion will be absolute and you will no longer rule. As of now the human race is claimed by Sha and all of those who oppose it will die," he said. I didn't know what to think or respond to this. Blood was already dripping from my lip. He looked at his dark blue hand and noticed the red liquid in his hand.

"Take him away! I never want to see this human again. I need to be decontaminated," the master said. Rox bowed, grabbed my arm and took me away. I was terrified beyond shame.
