Abducted
The king adored his newborn child. So much so that he already began to plan out the child's birthday gifts for years to come. Dr Wilhite was tasked with the child's first birthday gift, a pet alien. When they first arrived on planet D6790, Dr Wilhite couldn't help but be intrigued by it's strange structure. 71% of the Earth's surface was covered with water but it was little compared to this planet. It was smaller than Earth but it was covered in oceans with scattered archipelagos, impossibly steep islands that jut out of the water.
The aliens were strange as well. They had a humanoid resemblence. They were smaller, none of them more than 5 feet tall, all of them thin and fit. They had copper skin and striking vibrant, golden eyes. More than that they had wide, white feathered wings coming out of their shoulder blades.
Now, in order for the king to present the gift to his son, Dr Wilhite and a team of scientists were assigned to study the alien. The alien they seized was given it's own room on the ship. It was furnished with simple enough comforts. Dr Wilhite studied it through the camera that was placed in the room for a long while. He learned that the alien did not like the bed, it prefered to sleep on the floor instead. He also learned, through watching the alien's eating habits, that it preferred mostly a diet of small fruits and fish.
After a week Dr Wilhite unlocked the door and stepped in. It wasn't until that moment that he realized the aliens could cry.
