CHAPTER SEVEN

Lauren

We spend the rest of the day wandering around the small island that we had landed on. If I had to guess it was about as big as your average small metropolis back home, about 3 miles wide, 3 miles long. There weren't any great mountains, just a bunch of short trees that jutted out of the ground with leaves the size of cars directly hanging over our heads as we walked through the forest. The ground was covered in moss and was mostly rocky so I had to watch my step a great deal of the time, he just took off his boots and let his claws dig into the rocks as he walked amongst them.

"I used to do something like this back home in Minnesota. In the summer we would go into the woods and pick wild fruits before bringing them back, only now it's for our oxygen stores." I muttered, leaping over rocks and attempting to balance myself on the roots that these "trees" had.

"I thought you said it was a cold place? Ah but it grows warm during parts of the year doesn't it? I see what you mean, on Jorath we never got the chance to do anything like this, we usually just hunted the wildlife for recreation. This is a great deal......calmer." he remarked, clutching the branches of the trees with his long fingers, digging his claws into the wood before pulling himself closer and closer to our ship which was parked next to a stream, the only flat land that I could see around here.

"Calmer? I would have taken you for the hunting type." I remarked and he shakes his head.

"No, not really. It was mostly done for recreation, anyways, not actual sustenance. We have technology." he remarked, his baritone voice ringing along with the sounds of those powerful, distant waves.

When we arrived back at camp he turned off the pump, the hose that jutted out of the ship and dipped into the nearby river softened and withered before he detached it completely. We toss all the scraps of the leaves we had into the oxygenator which breaks down the starch into single cells that we could use for photosynthesis and oxygen production, others would be sent to the kitchen to be converted into the compounds necessary to create the foods that we ate.

"So you ready to go?" he asked me, the sun was setting on the planet, we had landed during the day and over the course of about 9 hours it was going dark. It was a small planet, a small jewel of beauty in this sea of void. A small place where the sun lingered over the waters and the trees shone, an eternal beauty hidden away until the end of time. I wanted to stay here a bit longer.

"Can we camp out? Come on it's been so long since i've slept in fresh air." I pleaded with him, he glances at the horizon and the sky, muttering something to himself before nodding.
