《Burn Archer》Five- Walking Angels

I solemnly swear to protect mankind for all of eternity.

"I'm gonna have to put the password in through these controls, just wait here and don't look at what I'm typing. The password is one of the largest secrets my planet has to keep." Her eyes were filled with a kindness that seemed so innocent, and genuine so endless: as vast as the ocean.
Sometimes its none-existent yet sometimes its almost physical. So why then don't we embrace it? Is kindness and cruelty a choice? My thoughts clouded the actions that needed to be taken. Again.
My body twisted and stared in the opposite direction but I continued talking, "How come you're an alien but you're the exact the same bunny from Earth?"
"The thing is that millions of years ago, planets those were intelligent, transported their creatures onto Earth. Bunnies were also moved there but they evolved through time and now they are a lot different to us," she paused. "That's the reason why your planet has so many different species on it."
Was I the first one on earth to find out the truth about our history?
"The barrier should be unlocked now," she announced.
My feet excitedly pounded down on the accelerator and the spaceship sprinted into the atmosphere. As we passed the clouds, it fogged the screen making it impossible for my eyes to see anything.
Panic arose on my skin as I could faintly see that the spaceship was about to crash into the planet's surface. Dammit, we're about to die.
I wrapped my fingers around Ivory's arm as I jabbed down on the door button. As the entrance slammed open, I jumped out of the ship with her when we were just a few feet away from crashing. Both of us roughly crashed into the ground and felt the landing cause some explosives to go off inside the spaceship.
That wasn't even the first time that I could say that I faced death. In the same day.
The busy road that we had landed in stretched onward, hugging the land. Touching the surface of Zeig, I had a feeling that the details were created by an artistic hand, the imperfections seemed to make it more beautiful.

All sorts of figures exited from their metallic round cars as they stared wildly at us. They were astonishingly looking back and forth between the burnt spaceship and Ivory.
"Oh, we have quite an audience," I examined.
"Well of course we do." From the corner of my eye I could see Ivory fixing her hair as she smiled at the rabbits that surrounded us.
I released a nervous chuckle from my mouth. "They look so surprised seeing you."
"Well I was gone a pretty long time," she explained.
"But how come they all know you-"
A loud spaceship sharply landed next to us and spat out an old human. I felt something spark up inside me. He was human. So I wasn't the first?
His skin was paler than the moon and his facial features flawless. An unrealistic masterpiece. His eyes were like fire, reds, oranges and yellows that flickered and sparked which made it almost impossible not to be a prisoner of them. I was so mesmerised by his face that I didn't see Ivory run up to him and wrapped her arms around him.
Ivory jumped with excitement. "Garry!"
He gave her a warm embrace. His angelic eyes strolled over to mine and we locked eyes for a split second. An invisible hand clasped over my mouth; an equally ghostly hypodermic of adrenaline pierced my heart, unloading in an instant. In my entire life, I had never come across someone like him. Was he supposedly a vampire?
Suddenly Ivory grabbed me out of my thoughts by pulling me into his spaceship; a steel ball which reflected my ugly image from its exterior. It was a magnificent large vessel with windows the size of my body and a door which revealed its glass interior.
Garry followed us inside and spoke, "Shud perge lofy judik?"
His voice was like nothing I've ever heard before. His tone was as deep as the sun at midnight but I could hear the curiosity building in it. I lightly placed my bottom onto the glass seat and the relished the chill I felt through my pants.
Ivory chuckled at him. "Dyurlo human hidhes Engris uncult."
"Oh, you speak English?" he asked me as his face whirled around and set his hands on the steering wheel.

The shape shifted, seemingly at random, taking either an organic form or geometric angles. As it moved there was no gust of wind, no sound, as if somehow it didn't even displace the air.
"Ahh y-yes I d-do," I stuttered as I gazed out the window to the scenery which had already captured me as prisoner.
"Oh please don't be afraid-" His voice cracked as I interrupted him.
"No, I'm not afraid! I'm just not used to seeing people like you. It's overwhelming." I hated it when people thought I was weak.
"Burn hates not being able to explain the things around her because she wants to know the answer to everything," Ivory explained as I kept my eyes peeled onto the glass ground
"Why are humans such curious creatures?" he spoke as if he had known one personally. "You have to tell me your story too."
"Fine" I replied as my hands crossed over my chest.
"The planet Meyer is home to creatures called the Mayas, people like me," he said as his finger sprinted up to his face.
He wasn't a human. I sucked in a breath of security knowing that I wasn't as ugly and small as I thought.
"We share a lot of characteristics with humans such as body structure and a lot of other things." His fiery eyes searched for mine to see if I was still listening, and he found my bronze eyes pleading for more.
A smile stretched across his face and he continued talking, "We are different to humans because we are exceptionally beautiful. We also have unbelievable fighting and hunting skills, and the funny thing about Mayas is that-"
"-they only fall in love with their own kind" Ivory finished as her chin slept on her paw and her eyes danced in her day-dream.
Garry glanced at her, his mouth pursed in confusion but slightly open and loose. He blinked, refocused. "Yeah, that is correct. We also have a reputation of being listened to. By that I mean, we always get what we want and no creature disobeys us."
I scrunched my nose. "Oh is that so?"
"Yup, also if you think an old man like me is beautiful, then you should see the younger ones of my kind-"
I sharply interrupted him, "Oh beauty doesn't astonish me, It's just weird being introduced to a new species but now that I have, it's not the biggest of deals."
He stared at me for a few seconds before replying. "My planet had been burnt by the Oagles so we had to come to this planet for exile."
I parted my lips slightly to ask him what an Oagle was but I shut it as soon as I remembered Ivory mentioning it. Oagles were the creature that captured us.
"There are a lot more planets like us that had to come into exile as well-"
As I zoned out of the conversation, I stared down at the window below my feet, admiring the stunning landscapes of Zeig as it glowed orange under the burnt sky. The land was formed of every vivid colour, every one of them as fresh as a new painting. The golden waves of hills stretched in every direction as they housed huts with brilliant silver roofs.
We were as high as one kilometres off the ground that I could consume the soaring beauty of the various aliens walking the city's streets. There were bunnies, two-headed monsters, tiny turtles, wild wolves and creatures that my eyes weren't trained to see yet.
"Well, are you going to tell me your story now?" I heard Garry ask.
"A lot of people are going to wanna know so let's just save it for everyone one to hear," Ivory replied for me.
A breath of relief managed to escape my dry lips. I would have never been able to reply to Garry because I was literally speechless after witnessing that type of beauty!
"Alright, anyways, prepare for landing, welcome back home, your highness," Garry announced as he slightly lifted his foot off the accelerator.
I graspted the fact that I was trying to remember how to breathe, totally stunned as the words bounced around inside my skull. Did Garry just address her as a royal?
"Wait what-"

Scholar of the Fog
Leaving a trail of blood as he climbed up a hill, his limbs felt like lead. He was gasping too, his lungs burning with every step he took. It felt like a bundle of broken glass was scraping away the inner walls of his flesh. He was dying, obvious to both him and his pursuers. And it would not be long till he dropped dead as he bled away. If not, the people chasing him would surely finished what they had came for. It was as if the Gods themselves had already predestined his fate. He took one step forward and stood at the peak of the hill. He let his legs rest as he could barely go on. Heaving deep breaths, he could hear sneering voices and shouts behind him. They were close, and the grim realization stoked the embers of his most primal fear. He did not want to die. He had dreams, like any other youth. There was glory to be had in this world. He wanted to learn more of life, and lived through its motions. He wanted to live.

He was dying, and by now, it did not matter where his grave was. He ran down the hill, and stopped where the plains and the forest met.
