Dusty and Dawud were chasing a lead across the galaxy about a group of thir taking over the universe. So far the lead had turned out true. If it was to be believed, the next target was Dinov, Dusty's homeworld.

Dusty and Dinov flew in MEOWS to Dinov. The planet was in ruins, covered in scars from war. Long has it been since the days that Dusty remembered, lush green grass, beautiful trees, large mountains. Now the planet was covered in ruins of old buildings and towns, lava and fire took the place of grass, the mountains were leveled to the ground for bombs, and there were relics of wars finished long ago.

Dusty and Dawud carefully walked across the surface of the destroyed planet to find any signs of the thir invasion. They found a thir standing alone in the center of a ruined building. The thir looked like a snake, thin and long with scales covering their skin. Most had a poisonous bite, others could kill with a glance. Dusty hoped it wasn’t the latter.

Stolen from its original source, this story is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings.

“Hey!” Dusty yelled at the thir. “What are you doing here?” The thir stared out into space.

“I am here because my people abandoned me to this deserted wasteland of a planet,” The thir said, “I am the one who sent you those leads, and I sent you here to me so we can talk.”

“Well, since you know our names, what’s yours?” Dawud asked?

“Ka’klop” the thir replied.

“Well Ka’klop, why did you send us here?” Dusty asked.

“I sent you here to help you defeat the thir, I know where they're going next, Dinov. Now that you’re here we can prepare to attack them.”

“Can’t we talk to them? Get them to stop the attack?” Dusty asked.

“The thir can not be reasoned with, they are mindless killing machines created by an evil warlord millions of years ago, I managed to break the code and escape,”
