Ch 4 : Field and Starry Sky

What greet him is grassy mound.. no more like he was in a crater that has been covered by grass.

He then looked at the sky and see that it was covered by red tint of setting sun.

He walked barefoot slowly forward, then he turned around and see that the place he was staying in is a space ship looking thing, the door he opened was at the back or maybe bottom of the ship and there are ladder next to it, there's another floor on top of the box 'that might've be the control room' he thought.

On the side of the thing there are two massive jet or maybe rocket thruster.

He looked at Fai, it has been following him around silently, then he asked "i-is there any damages to to the ship?" He say nervously.

"There are some dent at the front of the ship Captain. It was caused by the ship crash landed on this island"

"Island?" He says "Fai is there any image of this place?"

Fai replied "there is a photo taken from the atmosphere taken couple of hours before the ship crash landed, it is saved in the Important folder in the computer Captain"

"Oh.. okay then" he planned to take a look later but now he just wanted to explore what out side of the crater looked like.

He walked up to the least steep part of the crater, and what greeted him was wide grass plain In front of him and manage to see lush forest to his left and see a river cut through the grassy plain with the setting sun mirrored on the calm flowing water.

'it looked beautiful' he think, like a painting brought to life.

This novel's true home is a different platform. Support the author by finding it there.

He managed to see some wild life on the plain with massive cow like creature with giant horn and fur growing haphazardly on its body near the river, deer like creature with straight horn and white colored fur grazing through the plain, and manage to see some rabbit looking thing near the foot of the crater herding with its family.

"This is probably what heaven would looked" he says with a serene smile appeared on his face.

He then looked again at the sky and sees two moons hanging there, one of them is is like the earth moon and the other more like a giant asteroid since it doesn't have the spherical look like the moon.

The he noticed something, there are two side on the darkening sky, one of them dotted sparsely by star and the other many-many stars can be observed, the moons is on the many star side, and he sees the there are couple of stars that shine brighter than the other.

He stood there silently watching the star get brighter until the sky turn dark blue,

After he enjoying stargazing he turned toward the forest and see some white spot on it.

He focused on the spot until it moved toward the plain slowly, then... It sprint toward the flock of deer, the deer sensing danger spread towards all direction,

He sees that it has some resemblance to a wolf or coyete but it has 2 tails hanging on its rear.

The cows that has been peacefully bathing in the river sensing there are intruder on its territory run toward the wolf.

He observed the cows again, there is one cow that is larger than the other with only one horn's that pointed to the front, most of the cows horn were growing to its side rather than toward the front.

'it must be their leader' he thought

It run surprisingly fast, there must be at least 600 meter from the edge of the forest to the side of the river this cow manage to get close in about 30 second.

The wolf having gotten a small deer drag the prey to the dark forest as fast as it could.

The cow after scaring the wolf return toward its pack and marching toward the crater, then the cow eye sensing his gaze turned its eye to him

He felt uneasy feeling the cow gaze, that thing at least 5 meter tall and maybe 1 and a half wide and the horn must have been 1 meter long.

The the cow do something unexpected, it bow's its head to him as if it mean no harm to him, not knowing what to do he decided to returned the bow toward the cow.

Then all the creature on the plain marching toward crater, sensing this he then turned and going inside the ship with Fai following him.
