The arrival

  Alien POV

  “Sir… Sir! We’ve reached the Blue Planet,” a man in a sleek silver uniform hurriedly approached his leader.

  The leader, a middle-aged man with sharp features and piercing silver eyes, gazed at the vast blue sphere through the large window of their spacecraft. His expression remained stoic, but his eyes gleamed with a trace of anticipation.

  “Hmph… It took us longer than expected,” he muttered in a heavy, commanding voice.

  “Shall I give the order to land, Sir?” the subordinate asked, his voice tinged with curiosity.

  “Not yet,” the leader replied, raising his hand slightly. His eyes narrowed as he studied the swirling clouds and the scattered lights of human cities below. “Let’s observe the inhabitants first. Learn their patterns… their weaknesses. When we land, we’ll have a plan.”

  The subordinate bowed slightly. “Understood, Lord Zeiran.”

  Zeiran turned away from the window, his mind already calculating the steps ahead. “Send my children to the surface,” he commanded. “I want them to gather information about the seven stones. We cannot fail.”

  The subordinate nodded and quickly left the chamber.

  If you spot this story on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation.

  From the shadows, Kael and Lyra, Zeiran's two children, emerged. Kael, the older sibling, had a confident smirk, his dark hair falling over his sharp, amber eyes. Lyra, younger but no less determined, brushed her silver hair behind her ear, her blue eyes shimmering with curiosity.

  “Are you ready?” Kael asked, glancing at his sister.

  “Of course,” Lyra replied with a smirk. “Let’s see what this Blue Planet has to offer.”

  Without another word, the siblings made their way toward the teleportation chamber, ready to infiltrate Earth.

  Human POV

  “Sir… there’s something on the radar,” said Ethan Carter, a young scientist, his voice trembling slightly. His hands hovered over the keyboard, typing rapidly as he tried to stabilize the fluctuating readings.

  “What?” Dr. Robert Hayes, his senior, furrowed his brows. “Can’t you zoom in with the satellite? It’s probably just an asteroid.”

  Ethan shook his head, his face pale. “No, sir. It’s not an asteroid. The objects are moving too fast. Their positions keep shifting every few seconds—it’s more than one.”

  Dr. Hayes leaned over the screen, his eyes narrowing. The objects were indeed moving at an impossible speed, faster than any natural space body.

  “W-what…? No, no… this can’t be…” Dr. Hayes muttered, his throat tightening. His hands trembled slightly as he grabbed the phone. “We need to inform the president. Whatever this is—it’s not good.”

  He rushed out of the lab, his footsteps echoing through the corridor. Without waiting for clearance, he called the president’s office.

  The line clicked.

  “May I speak to the president?” Dr. Hayes asked urgently.

  The secretary barely hesitated. “One moment.”

  A low, gruff voice came through the line. President Thomas Greer sounded irritated. “Yes? What is it?”

  “Mr. President, there’s activity in Earth’s orbit—unidentified objects moving at impossible speeds. We can’t track them properly, but it’s real. We need to—”

  “Are you out of your mind?” President Greer snapped, cutting him off. His voice was firm and dismissive. “You know the elections are coming, right? This is probably just debris or asteroids. Handle it with the tech you have—I don’t want to hear about it again.”

  “Sir, this is serious—”

  Click.

  The line went dead.

  Dr. Hayes stared at the receiver in disbelief. His knuckles whitened as he clenched it.

  “Bastard…” he muttered under his breath.

  He glanced back at the radar screen. The objects were still there, still moving, still closing in. Whatever was coming—it wouldn’t wait for the elections.
