Speechless and in tears, Julianna followed him inside the miniature spacecraft with the unbelievably large volume within.

He went and sat in front of a screen at the front of the ship and spoke into the machine. As he spoke, the words were automatically written on the screen:
"The Earth is difinitely a
No-go area. The earth people
have more sophisticated
Technology than we could ever
hope to develop in the
next millennium. Immediately
my spaceship came into
the earth's atmosphere,
It was caught up in a magnetic
field and sent hurling
Into a secured room.
There I was caught by
Uniformed men who
Tortured me with the
Intention of obtaining my
motive of coming to their planet.
I refused to let them
Have it and so at last they
Rigged me with an
Explosive which could
Wipe out the whole of Kryos,
And I was sent back
In the spaceship with it.
I put down this message just
before jumping off the
ship as I couldn't have
My planet exterminated
By the humans.
They have a very powerful
weapon, one which we
Stand no chance against.
They call it EVOL."

"Now my dear Julianna, if you spell 'evol' backwards what do you have?"
These words filled Julianna with even more admiration for Dacha. It pained her heart that the handsome Kryosian was going to die but she still didn't understand why.

"But since you intend to decieve them in this manner," she said hopefully, "it means you won't have to die anymore, doesn't it? You'll continue to live with us, right?"

"I'm afraid not, my dear Julianna," replied Dacha. "Like I said before, the technology of my people far surpasses yours. At the death of any Kryosian, radiation is released from the corpse and is tracked by the Apexids, the foremost leaders in Kryos. Also, this wristband which I possess will go flying back to them at my death. I can never manipulate that. I have already informed them that I'm jumping off the ship, you don't expect me to survive that. I have to die. It is the only way."

The tears came rushing down both their cheeks as they locked themselves in a warm embrace.
Neither wanted to path with the other as their hearts had already grown so fond of each other.

Dacha carried Julianna in his arms out of the spaceship and then pressed a button on the green wristband. The spaceship made a thundering noise, rose up into the air, turned, and flew back in a streak of light back to whence it came.

"It pains me to shreds that just when I found happiness," Dacha lamented, "I have to path with it."

"I love you so much, Dach," Julianna replied amidst tears. You're my hero."

With arms outstretched, she ran into the arms of Dacha and a long passionate kiss did they share.
"Now, I must go," said Dacha as he pulled away.

Before Julianna could stop him, he rushed on to a stake protruding out of the soil and fell upon it with a cry. The stake sank into him and out his backside, black mercury-like liquid gushing out of him. As he gave his last gasp, the wristband unlocked itself from his wrist and flew into the sky.

The sorrow which filled Julianna's heart knew no bounds. She cried her eyes sore.

Her dad got well and returned from the hospital. She explained the sad story of the brave Kryosian to him and they buried Dacha's corpse which was already withering and turning pale purple, with an inscription written on his grave: "here lies the Kryosian, Dacha, the brave savior of mankind."
