The
youth looked up to see giant beings as tall as trees floating down towards him,
held up by what appeared to be small stars.
They were human in general appearance, but glowed with an immense secret
power. Their eyes were lit with starlight, eerily glowing too bright to stare
at, but not bright enough to blind the eyes of those watching and not
concealing the rest of the body. Their arms were crossed over their chests in
grim defiance of any who would stand in their way.
Devastating
bolts were coming from their eyes, causing massive explosions wherever they
struck. He staggered, as the ground shook beneath him. Someone beckoned to him,
and he hastened to follow.
The
young man was led to a ship, and was ushered inside. All about, he could hear
as the destruction continued.
His
guide strapped him in and then programmed the controls. The Harkee then gave a
nod and swiftly exited the ship.
Shortly
afterward, the craft shook as its thrusters were engaged. Jarmus peered out of
a porthole, as the ship began to rise up into the air. He saw several giants
descending towards the surface all around him, with destructive blasts coming
from their eyes.
He
saw one being turn towards him, and the eyes started to glow impossibly bright.
The ship surged forward suddenly, as the devastating blast just missed. Jarmus
breathed a sigh of relief.
The
craft rose up into the sky. He grew dizzy, as he watched the ground recede
beneath him. Jarmus turned away, closing his eyes as he left the place he had
come to call home.
