Tales of Jaolia

        Dusty red sand swept into my face as I fought the strong winds. Just as I reached the gates of Pabola I could hear the faint sound of an engine heading this way, adrenaline began to pump through my veins and I banged on the large iron gates. The rumble slowly started to get louder and I shouted for them to let me in. The attack wasn't supposed to happen for another three hours. I was supposed to have time. A race of alien the same as my own appeared on the other side of the gate.

        "Please state your identity little one." His voice carried smoothly into my ears despite the howling winds from the mountains of Cabaras.

        "I am Rlelryn of sector 5-8-2 in the quadrant of Rakris. I have code 9-2-4-3-7-5, now please let me in!" A scowl spread across his face and he did not budge to let me in. Swiftly I pulled down the hood of my grey cloak revealing my reef blue skin and pointed ears pulled back by a series of silver beads."I am here on military business and demand to be let in." He immediately entered the code to open the gate and pulled me inside.   

        "So sorry General. I didn't know, I thought you were a dweller." Anger surged through me putting a touch of red on the top of my ears.

        "We are a rebellion at war captain. Slave or not we accept our own kind! If you're not willing to accept that maybe we should put you on the other side of that gate. Now the humans are almost upon us I suggest you gather your men and prepare to defend." With that I left him stuttering after me as I put my hood back up and headed for the small medical hut.

        The hut was only made out of a simple wood compound, it made it seem impractical for a war meeting but we liked it that way. Inside two bodyguards awaited me. I vanished behind them down a hidden corridor that led to one single Tungsten door protected by a eye scanner. Carefully I placed my face in front of the eye scanner, it the proceeded to send a golden light down my eye. After precisely thirty-two seconds the door opened and revealed a large circular table surrounded by thirty-one people all like me. I confidently strolled into the last seat and looked at the individuals around me. At what would be the head of the table across from me was Polow the grand jury member of our planet, Jaolia. On his right hand side was his niece, Estdel, the would be princess of our planet. On his left sat, Iarai, his son and the commanding officer of all military units. The rest of the table was filled with people from various juries and military rankings, each of them ready to give their lives for our cause. 

        Iarai stood up dressed in traditional silver armor to address us. "As you know Jaolia has been overtaken by creatures identifying as human Earthlings. They have killed, wounded, and captured our citizens, we will not stand for this." He paused for the cheers of the table. "We will have to plot carefully, for the humans have proved cunning. Let me remind you that the purpose of this meeting is to save the citizens of Jaolia and separate ourselves from the wretched humans." 

      I could hear a large roar but it did not come from the people around the table. Briskly I turned around to see the strong Tungsten door being beaten down, dents became visible in the sleek black material. 

        Polow stood up and shouted, "Rlelryn, take my niece out the passage. Everyone else prepare for battle." By the time the humans had pounded their way in The princess had made it down the tunnel. Dirt crumbled onto our cloaks as we carefully made our way down trying to make as little noise as possible. But suddenly we could here the pounding footsteps of boots and the clink chains meant to bound us. 

        "Estdel Run! They found us." We began to sprint down the corridor until we made it to another tungsten door. I produced a key and unlocked the door shoving the princess out into the open and locking the door again. Finally for what seemed like hours I turned around to see one human pointing a gun to my head. The man babbled in strange tongues but his intention seemed clear, my thoughts were further proved when he easily pulled the trigger.
