The Adventures on Kah

I'm not an alien, you are!


"I said come back here, you stupid alien!" Leslie yelled, still tied to the pole. Of course, he didn't come back, so her screaming was useless. "Damnit," she whispered. She writhed around under the silver ropes, and it came loose. "Well. They aren't good at tying knots, are they?" she asked herself, laughing. 
"Actually, we're wonderful at it. It's just that you aren't the one were sacrificing to our god, Valacknick."
"Heh?" She said, half startled.
"Valacknick brought you here so we could have a sacrifice. It hasn't rained acid in over a month."
Leslie laughed in his face, imitating a Hyena. "Sacrifice? That's hilarious. Now, if you'll just show me the way back to my ship, my husband I will leave you alone."
"Husband? What's that?"
"Partner?"
"Oh. You mean that other human that was with you!"
"Yeah," she said, quite convinced that the alien was an imbecile.
"Oh! Yes! He's going to make a wonderful sacrifice." 
"Holy—" 
"Please join us tonight for the ceremony! We will help you repair your ship and then you can leave in the morning."
"I'm not leaving without the other human," she said, crossing her arms.
"You can have what Valacknick doesn't eat, I suppose. Although, he hasn't has human flesh in over a century, so I'm sure it won't be much."
Suddenly, Leslie had an idea appear like a lightbulb. 
"What's that?" The alien asked, pointing to the shining object above Leslie's head.
"What? Oh, that. Nothing important. Will there be food at this ceremony?"

Adventures on Kah: Vohx Citadel

As Leslie fell to her face on the white grass of Kah, she heard footsteps running quickly toward where she was laying. She felt the net tighten around her entire body, and something sharp pierce her spine. Almost a split second after, she blacked out from a high voltage electrocution. 

Less Than 18 Hours Later

Leslie opened her eyes and found herself feeling oddly disoriented. The gravity on this planet felt just like Earth. 
She also found herself feeling like she was standing straight up. She moved her eyes, and realized, she WAS standing straight up. But how?
She moved her head to the right and left.

"Oh. I'm tied to a pole. Okay. Hello! Someone help me! I seem to be tied to a pole and I don't believe I have done anything to deserve it!"

She saw someone that looked humanoid move toward her. It was white colored, and it had two legs, two arms, one head. . . But it had a spiked tail and pointy ears. Its eyes were dark purple with black pupils. It had black hair that was spiked on its head. She thought it was hair, anyway. It might have been part of its head for all she knew.

It slowly approached her, and stared at her.

It poked her in the forehead.

"Ow!" She yelled at it.
 
It screeched back at her and ran off into a large structure.

"I'm still on this pole, citizens of this town! I do not know why! Please release me!" She yelled.

After many tired moments of waiting for anything to happen at all, another being that looked the same as the other one that had poked her approached. the only difference was that it was wearing a gray toga with a glowing green and black crown on its head.

It stood in front of her, then put its entire hand on her face and pressed on it. 

"Um. . ." Leslie started

"Be quiet." It replied.

It took a few moments, when she realized that she understood what it had said to her.

"I understood you!"

"Be quiet!" It snapped back.

She said nothing else until it removed its hand. As soon as it did, she started to say something, but the glare it gave her made her stop.

A few moments later it promptly walked away from her and disappeared into the same structure as the other one had.

"Hey! Come back here! Don't just press your hand into my face and walk away! Get back here!"

It didn't come back.


The Adventures on Kah: Finding Vohx

Present Day

As Valorj and his wife looked out of the ship window, they looked upon valleys and mountains filled with plants we had never seen or even heard of. The grass wasn't green. It was as white as snow, and what looked to be a body of water was a deep purple. The clouds were a pale yellow on an even lighter yellow sky. Mist that filled the space above the mountains took on a light azure color. In the deepest valley we saw a small village that looked primitively made. The woman instantly wanted to run out of the ship and explore. But she was smart enough to know that this planet might not have an atmosphere. So, she sent Valorj out there in his space suit to check out the area.

As he reached the door of the ship, he sighed a deep sigh and rolled his eyes, wondering why he kept doing these things for her. He closed the air lock and opened the ship's door. 

One step. 
Two steps.
Three.

He kept walking until he was at the edge of a cliff, but still able to see Leslie through the rocket's main windows. It was a gorgeous sight. Just below the cliff was a large lake filled with the deep purple water.

He noticed that the town wasn't that far away; maybe a mile at the most. Valorj beckoned for Leslie to join him at the edge.
After what seemed like an hour of waiting, he saw her walking toward him. He waved and she waved back, and she noticed him smile a slight smile through his high-tech helmet.

She started jogging as much as she could toward him, when suddenly, from overhead, something hit Valorj in the face, cracking the thick glass. He stopped smiling as another something hit him in the chest. Leslie stopped moving and stared at him, watching him fall backward over the cliff as a large net caught her from behind.

The Adventures on Kah: The Beginning: Part Two


The fight was over.
The impact with the planet almost there.

"Valorj!" The woman called to her husband.

"No need to yell, Darling. Im right here."

"Yes, well, Stupid Boy, in less than 30 seconds, we will be thrown across the cabin, separated, and turned to pancakes. And I cannot imagine they would taste good." She answered.

"Then we have less than 30 seconds to say goodbye."

The woman started to bawl.
"I love you!" She yelled through teary eyes.

"I love-" Valorj was cut off before he could finish. 

It was as if time itself had frozen. The tears in the woman's eyes froze, Valorj's mouth hung open in the air, and the electricity radiating from the engine was visible inside the ship. But no one was inside the engine room. So it didn't actually matter. Time itself wasn't actually frozen. The ship was in fact passing through the planetary mass. Which, in fact, wasn't a planet at all. It was a portal. A portal which took them across the galaxy and gently set them on the gorgeous planet of Kah.

The couple jerked backward, and suddenly the electricity wasn't visible in the engine room. 

Valorj was the first to realize he was alive.
It took a few moments for the woman. 

They stared at each other. 
They ran to the window.
The view took their breaths away.


The Adventures on Kah: The Beginning: Part One

Three days Earlier


In the northern quadrant of the Milk Way galaxy, a ship flew in silence... Mostly. 

The alarm was sounding.
The engine was failing.
And there was lots of yelling inside the cabin.

"Stupid Boy! I told you to get the engine checked!" A feminine voice yelled.

"Darling, I did!" A male voice answered in a distinct Elven accent.

"Stupid, stupid, stupid boy!"

The Elven man sat back in a chair and folded his hands behind his head. Meanwhile, the woman yelled and yelled for a long time. Until finally, she spoke something even remotely understandable.

"Out!"

"Excuse me?" The Elven man questioned.

"Out!" She repeated.

"You expect me to leave the rocket? You seriously expect me to leave a rocket floating in space? There is a vacuum suction out there and no oxygen. Um, no."

She said nothing.

"Why would you even say something like that to me?! You're my wife! You are supposed to care about me! Why in the-" The Elven man stopped talking and began to stare at something outside in the distance.

"Why did you stop talking?" She turned around and followed his glance herself, when she saw it. 

There was a giant planetary mass growing closer and closer to them.

"That's a planet, isn't it?" She asked.


He nodded.
She gulped.
They both prepared for impact.
