Prologue (2/2, 1,632 Words)
The spaceship stopped once it was outside. Then the wings spread out and flew off into the sky. Leopard Breeze sighed, "Mi trovis butonon, kiu diras aŭtomatan ŝoforon" Blaze Night informed "ĉu mi puŝu la butonon?" He asked while looking back at Leopard Breeze, she lightly nodded and Blaze Night pushed the autopilot button.
The light around Leopard Breeze disappeared and she jumped onto the floor. Mud Spot landed next to her "Mi esploros la ŝipon" He explained before heading down the hallway to explore. Leopard Breeze padded over to Blaze Night "Kiom pli longe ni alvenos sur la Tero?" She asked, but Dark Gaze was the one who replied "ĉe ĉi tiu imposto? Mi dirus pri du tagoj" he explained with a confident tone in his voice. Leopard Breeze nodded her thanks.
It's been two days and the group were 20 minutes away from Earth, then they would be able to land. Mud Spot had found a room with a colony of Blue Jay Narblets living in it. Leopard Breeze was eating one when Mud Spot came up to her with a bounce in his step "Mi povas vidi la Teron de la fenestro! venu rigardu!" He exclaimed excitedly like a pup exploring outside for the first time.
Leopard Breeze abandoned her Narblet and flew up to the window, the others coming to look to. She gasped in amazement "Woah!" They all exclaimed, except for Mud Spot who already saw the Earth. The blue planet spun slowly, green blotches along with white swirls covered the planet.
Leopard Breeze landed back onto the floor of the ship. "kiam ni landos?" She asked while bouncing in excitement. "baldaŭ" Dark Gaze informed with a small smile.
A few minutes passed and they finally landed in a clearing surrounded by green trees and bushes as far as the eye could see. The ship lowered down and the mouth opened up, Leopard Breeze flew out of the ship and landed on the grassy ground, she squealed in excitement "Venu!" She called out while digging her claws into the soft dirt and ripping the grass.
The others hesitated before coming to stand beside her. "Ni esploru antaŭ kolekti" Blaze Night suggested, Leopard Breeze nodded in agreement, then she ordered the others to go out and explore the area and be back by sundown. Leopard Breeze flew off with great speed, she was too excited to slow down.
Blinding lights below made her stop and squint at the lights below. There were many tall structures of different heights and shapes. Leopard Breeze landed at the edge of the forest, folded her golden wings and crouched down under a bush.
There was a black pathway not to far away that cut through the forest. Different colored machines passed by and left a stinky tang in the air. One of the machines pulled over on the side of the path. A creature that Leopard Breeze had never seen before stepped out of the machine and tended to one of the black round wheels that was flat.
Leopard Breeze shapeshifted to kinda take the same shape as the creature. She was tall with long golden brown hair she had a t-shirt with a picture of a wolf with wings, and blue jeans. To humans, she looked about 27 years old. She stood up on two legs, stumbled and fell on her butt. She snorted and laughed.
Eventually she got the hang of being on two legs and walked confidently into the town. Leopard Breeze walked on the black path, her eyes sparkling with curiosity. Suddenly a loud noise was heard behind her which made her jump and turn around in fright. One of the machines was there making loud noises at her, she stumbled out of the way and it sped past.
She breathed a sigh of relief and walked into one of the structures. Leopard Breeze marveled at the many books inside. She knew they were books from the elders tales of long ago when their clan traveled to other planets and learned the languages there.
Leopard Breeze found a book with a red cover and words that she didn't understand. She opened the book and flipped through it finding lots of words and symbols. Leopard Breeze desided she would take this book, so she started to head toward the exit when someone called out "Miss!" The voice exclaimed.
Leopard Breeze turned around to see where the voice came from and saw a young man heading toward her. He had black spiky hair with a black shirt, blue jeans and black sneakers.
"Did you check that book out at the counter?" He asked while pointing at the book. Leopard Breeze didn't understand a word he said, all she understood was that he was talking about the book. "Mi ne komprenas?" She tried to explain in her language. He stood there for a moment in thought, then he pulled out a small device from his pocket and started to tap on it.
Leopard Breeze stood there, confused. After a moment he put the device close to her face and pointed at his mouth. "Speak" he tried to explain. "Mi ne komprenas?" She repeated. He pulled the device back to himself and after a moment the device spoke "I do not understand" it said. Leopard Breeze was still confused.
He tapped at the device then it spoke again "Vi devas kontroli la libron ĉe la vendotablo antaŭ ol vi povas preni ĝin" Leopard Breeze finally understood something, the device was a translator! She nodded in understanding and he smiled back.
He spoke to the device "My name is Shadow, What's yours?" The device translated "Mia nomo estas Shadow, kio estas via?" Leopard Breeze replied to the question "Leopardo-brizo"
"Leopard Breeze" the device translated. "Unusual" Shadow muttered to himself, but with Leopard Breeze she heard it just fine but still didn't understand.
They figured out how to check the book out and Leopard Breeze went back to the forest. When she entered the forest she shape shifted back to her normal self and flew off to the ship.
She was the first one back at the ship, she looked up at the sky, the stars glowed softly as the sun continued to disappear over the horizon. She sighed, then looked at the book she had placed on the ground. She gently put her paw on it and a faint glow appeared under her paw, it was there for a moment then it was gone.
"Cool" she muttered, the new language filling her mind. A thump sounded behind her, she turned her head around to see Dark Gaze, in his mouth he held an orange round object. "What's that?" She asked, forgetting that she was speaking a different language to him. He tilted his head in confusion then dropped the object onto the ground which rolled towards Leopard Breeze.
She turned completely around and sniffed the object, the object smelled sweet and fresh and a little fruity. "Ĉu vi pensas, ke ni povus manĝi ĝin?" Dark Gaze asked. Leopard Breeze shrugged in reply. Blaze Night padded out of the bushes he held two small brown fluffy things in his mouth. He dropped them next to the orange object. "Ĝi aspektis kiel freŝa mortigo, odoris kiel ĝi, kaj speco de tia gusto, do mi supozis, ke ĝi estas" Blaze Night shrugged.
Leopard Breeze nodded, the fluffy things did smell like meat. She went over the the book and put it in the pile of stuff. "Libro?" Blaze Night questioned, "Mhm" Leopard Breeze hummed in reply. Blaze Night and Dark Gaze put their paws on the book and a faint glow came from under their paws then disappeared.
"Awesome" Blaze Night breathed. "I always wanted to use that power" Dark Gaze stated with a small smile on his face. They could hear screaming in the distance, they looked over toward the noise in alarm. Suddenly Mud Spot pelted from the trees "kuri!" He yelled while running into the ship.
Leopard Breeze looked back at where Mud Spot came from, that was a mistake. A giant brown creature with sharp fangs and black claws exploded from the trees and roared in anger. It ran at them on all four paws, they quickly flew into the ship and closed the door. Banging could be heard from the other side.
Leopard Breeze sighed in relief and slumped onto the ground she closed her eyes and dosed off into sleep.
It has been many months since the group of Earth travelers have been away from their home. Leopard Breeze grabbed some seeds from an apple tree that she found and headed back to the ship. They would be heading back to their planet the next day.
Leopard Breeze padded into the ship and dropped the seeds in a room at the back of the ship. Random stuff was piled up in the room, plants, seeds, fruit, and many other things.
Leopard Breeze felt sick to her stomach but she ignored it, this has happened for the past month but it hasn't gotten any better or worse. She had decided awhile ago that as soon as she got back she would get checked out by Spark Flame.
That night the four gazed at the night sky for the last time and one by one the went back into the ship. Leopard Breeze still had the book, which was a dictionary, when she tried to return it Shadow said she could keep it as long as she went on a date with him. They had grown close over the past few months, when she had finally told him that she was from another planet, he said he didn't care and he loved her anyways.
And she had loved him back.
