Prologue
Earth. The third planet from shinestar. The planet of blue. Planet of strange creatures, more advanced than other creatures there. Beautiful and intelligent they are...stupid they are says my species. Do not watch those filthy creatures says other Nhairsarians. The beauty of those creatures is what my species does not understand. They think of our species as the best though what we do is not any better than what little creatures do on Earth. A queen is what I'm supposed to be. Reproduce is what queens do...that sort of life is not suiting for someone like me. Exploring is what I want...I'm a curious Nhairsarian. Many years, I stay on my planet before finally leaving to wander closer to Earth. A closer star is where I now reside. Very enhanced my vision is and I can see Earth very clearly and hear them excellently. Such beautiful sounds they make, I wish I understood their language. I held the sound of them in my mind and replayed it many times, wishing I could make a sound like that...longing it. A world of peace is what it seemed...I never looked long enough to see the fault. Rotated the world did so I saw different scenes of Earth all the time. Death I witnessed but most was natural. Nhairsarians do not die as quickly. Many years more we live in order to produce young, well the queens anyway. Warriors die much more quickly than us queens. I should not consider myself a queen, for I am no longer apart of that planet. It is clear that I'm no longer welcome there, a worthless parasite is what they now call me. Believe it, I don't. I am not a worthless parasite, they are for thinking that their life is so great. I am Omisericnhair, the 'nhair' in my name shames me but it is a part of me and it will for as long as I still live...even if living means going to earth...
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
What is that?! I wonder loudly in my mind. Flail my antennae does, trying to hide from the noise. Shuttle left atmosphere of Earth and racket it makes is unbearable for my very sensitive hearing. Fascination it brings to me as I watch it. Evolved the creatures had done, getting even more intelligent than before. They now leave their planet and seem to be going to the white sphere that circles around their planet. My minuscule body shudders as the noise still attacks my antennae. It seems the atmosphere blocks out the loudest of noises that I usually hear every Earth rotation. Many rotations passed before the noise died away and I was able to zoom my vision in clearly now, the hole I have for eyes glowing brightly as I did so. The creatures exited the shuttle in chunky white coverings, moving slowly on the surface of the white sphere. A stick with a wavy cloth was stuck into the surface and I recognized the symbol. A big land mass on Earth all shared this symbol and each land mass had their own symbol. Too soon they left, causing loud noise to attack me again. It was then I wanted to go that planet and become one with those creatures. How I would achieve this, i do not know. From what language I had picked up I found out the little creatures my species and I were most like were called bugs...ants in specific. Much more stable we were though, with our armored bodies and razor like wings, and our ten legs. Our antennae can hear light years away and the hole in our heads our vision comes from can see many light years away. They glow the farther we look.
Now wait I must for another shuttle to come to this white sphere. I had tried to fly to Earth but my tiny size couldn't break through the pressure of the atmosphere. Even with my enhanced speed I couldn't do that. So here I now sit, awaiting a shuttle to come. Care I do not how long it takes. I will wait many Earth rotations to be able to go there. Quickly time passes in my mind. My seers glow as my vision zooms into the Earth as I do what I do best...watch.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Noise again attacked my antennae, more so than before since I now was closer to Earth. Fluttering around my cells did in my body. So many rotations had passed. I'd still have to wait more rotations until the shuttle would reach here. America is the name of the land mass the shuttle comes from. Watched the world much more closely and decided America must be the most dominant, or so it seems. Their language is the most difficult to understand but challenges are much more an entertainment. With more observations, I should be able to speak their language eventually then I could speak to them maybe. Doubtful that thought is though. I'm like an...ant to them and with no sound maker like they have, I cannot make words. Speak in their minds I could though. That is how our species communicate, through minds. Bad reactions the creatures have though so speaking in their minds would probably not work. Difficult this new life was going to be for me but this was worth it for a new home. A tingle went through me and I was happy that I would have a home, one where I would find a way to belong in.
Agony, it almost killed me. The noise was so loud, they were so close! Glad I was when they finally landed and their noise shut off. I crawled forward quickly just as the creatures came out of the shuttle. There were two of them this time. A weird beeping device one of them had this time and I realized this must be something they used to track things. Looking for life on this sphere perhaps. Nothing they would find though. Line of planets from shinestar did not contain life except on Earth. Closer I got, I then jumped into the air, spreading my wings and zooming towards the shuttle, getting there a few seconds later. My antennae twitched towards the creatures listening for any sign of them seeing me. Doubtful it was because of my size but I did not know how well these creatures could sense things. Around the shuttle I crawled before find a little area for me to fit in snugly. Inside I would've went but the warmth was uncomfortable. Coldness of space felt much better. Sure I was that I was sitting in a spot as far away from the source of the loud noise as possible. I reviewed through my mind Earth traits I may find useful when I arrive.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Excitedly twitching my antennae was doing as the Earth loomed in front of the shuttle, so huge compared to it, even bigger compared to me. Noise of the shuttle had dimmed my hearing and sight but I had no need for my enhanced vision, seeing the outer part of Earth was just cell flutteringly beautiful. One more rotation of the planet and I would be inside...Ready I was.
...
Wrong something was, that I could sense. I could even see it, after getting through the atmosphere. the shuttle felt less controlled and too fast we were going. Peering over the edge of the shuttle, I noticed the ground was coming up much too fast, and nowhere near the original landing place we were. Deserted land we were approaching...country I believe they called it. Inside, creatures were yelling in panic as they could not stop the crash that was obviously going to happen. Watched the ground I did feeling rather frozen in place. Warm the air was compared to space so I could not find the energy to spread my wings. Then, I heard it. The sound of the shuttle forcefully meeting the ground. The creatures on the inside fell silent and I was sent flying into the air followed by warmth, warmth that was much to hot. Wings would still not open for me as I flew through the air for what seemed like forever. As I saw the ground approach me once again, something that never happened to any other Nhairsarian happened to me...my vision cut off and I was sent into darkness....

Ahhh...all that typing was fun...Now i can go to sleep.
