Chapter 12:

The World of Zakik 32Z4

Eliote's Space Exploration


The girls are in their settlement on Urchony. Eliote explains how are they going to manage it.

-Friends, I think that for the expeditions on other planets, we need one of us staying here to keep an eye on the settlement.

-Oh, if you want I can stay here for this expedition!

-And in this case, I will stay for the next one!

Frysta is the one that will stay in the settlement, and Aye will be the one to stay for the next expedition.

-If that's alright for you, then it's settled! See you later Frysta!

-Bye!

After changing of solar system thanks to the technology named «Hyperwarp», Eliote noticed something really different compared to our universe.

-Wait, but this space color is even weirder than in the other solar system!

-Yes you're right! And look Eliote, the planets are still really close to each other!

-Absolutely! There are two planets right in front of us, and when I turn around, there is another planet that appears as big, with its moon just to the side!

Our two adorable characters navigate around this solar system, then decide to land on a calm-looking planet.

-Welcome to Zakik 32Z4 (ザキク · 三十二ゼ四), tropical planet.
Weather. Globally calm.

-Look Eliote, there is someone!

They walk towards this person. She's a girl with pink eyes, short pink hair, and a weird sidetail on the right of her head. She wears a white sleeveless dress with pink stripes, and a rose on her left breast.

-Hello!

-Well would you look at this, visitors! Welcome on me!

-What? What is this wording?

-My name is Zakik 32Z4, I am the planet!

Aye reacts funnily.

-Déjà-vu!

-Wait, you are the planet? Like in the second volume of a movie with a talking tree and a raccoon?

-What are you talking about Eliote?

-What are you talking about? Well anyway, I spent the last billion year modifying every bit of my environment so that it is to my taste. In the beginning, I was only a boulder. Now I literally created a human form to interact with visitors like you!

-I hope you aren't the antagonist like in the movie!

-But what is happening to you Eliote? You are not like this normally!

-Say it to me if you are not interested! And I'm not evil, it's daring to say that!

-Forgive me, my thoughts got mixed up, and I felt the need to be on my guards.

-Seriously... Anyway, what do you think of the landscape?

-I admit that it is extremely beautiful!

But Aye gives a more detailled description.

-An environment in the red and pink tones, mixed with mist surrounding the mountains make this so majestic!

-I'm happy that it pleases you! The lady with purple hair understood everything! Also, the fact that you can't see the bottom of these mountains give them a mysterious side.

-Again, I'm sorry for what I said before.

-I think we are going to go home, take care of you Zakik!

-Goodbye!

The girls are going back to the settlement. They just came out of the spaceship.

-Aya, if that doesn't bother you, I will talk to Mom up on the holographic communication tower. Say to Frysta that I arrive soon.

-Okay!

Eliote is now up on the tower, in holographic call with Mom.

-Mom, I don't know what happened to me today, but for short, a person said to me that they were the planet, and I immediately was on my guards without any reason, I even called it an antagonist! What happened to me?

-I think that was a flashback of what happened one year ago. Now that you just resumed your space exploration, these memories are translating to a form of hypervigilance. You try to detect these threats, you are in constant state of alert in order to be sure that a danger isn't near by. So you do obsessive behavior. But you have nothing to worry about because if there's a threat, your power will activate and you will be able to save those you love. Regain your confidence!

-Thanks a lot Mom, I will try to take control back of myself!

Eliote now comes back near Aye.

-So, do you feel better?

-Absolutely, Mom comforted me so much!

Eliote hopes that she resolved this issue...

-See you soon on another planet!
