"I am tired of eating fruits every day. Let's catch little flesh from the pond." He made a spear-like one from primitive times and plunged it into the water. He caught a little fish with golden scales covering it, but the moment he drew it out, it turned into golden ash.

"What the hell? I am not in the mood for any more surprises. I am sick of this gold and golden shit." He threw his spear into the water with force, causing a splash of water.

All of a sudden he saw a projectile motion in the sky, followed by a huge splash of water. Alarmed he jumped back with emotions of horror and curiosity across his face.

A woman appeared on the surface of the water and swam towards the ridge of the pond. He stared in awe at her and the rocket type machine behind her in the water.

"Who are you?" He raised his voice to control its trembling.

"This is what I should ask you. What are you doing on our planet and specifically in my territory?" She pinned him with her gaze.

"Whoa! Easy, easy. No need to kill me with your eyes." He held up his hands, giving her a subtle smile.

"You are human." She sniffed his hair, scrunching up her nose.

"Hey! That is an insult to me. I don't smell bad always. I just couldn't provide myself soap and shampoo on your planet." He looked offended and took a step back from her. She arched an eyebrow at him before grabbing him from the neck and pushing him again to a tree.

"What the hell are you doing here?" She growled at him, causing him to flinch in fear.

"I...I am...Tre...Trevor." She loosened her grip on his neck and jerked him continue.

"I am Trevor and I am a scientist. I was working on a new rocket machine project. When I was checking it out, some error occurred. I got trapped in it and landed on your land. I am trying to fix it for a month." Her eyes softened. She let him go.

"So, you are a scientist?" Her curious tone matched the glint in her eyes.

"This is what I told you. Don't you believe me?" He rubbed his neck at the spot where she grasped him earlier.

"Is this that one your machine?" She pointed at the object in which she landed in the pond.

"Yeah. But now it seems ruined. My space rocket had an extra part which was lost during the space journey." He got inside the pond and check the machine.

"Where did you get to find it and how could you start it?"

"It is a long story. Tell me, why you can't fix this machine and go home.?" She asked, sitting on the ground to support her back against a huge rock.

"I...I need gold dust to fix it. My bad luck, here gold starts to rust the moment it enters the engine." He hung down his head and brushed his fingers through his greasy blonde hair.

"How old are you?" She asked, wincing in pain as the wound on her arm rubbed against the rock.

"I am 29 years old. Are you ok?" He approached her carefully. She nodded in response to show that she is fine.

"I promise to send you back to your planet on one condition." He gaped at her, hearing those words.

"What condition?" His voice was reluctant.

"You will help me in defeating Deaunknet Planet and saving kineldxus." Her eyes were wandering over the mountains besieging the forest.

"How? I mean...I am not a worrier or a superhero. I am an ordinary human." He gave her a funny look.

"You are human that is why you are special. Moreover, you are a scientist too. Help me in my goal or I will imprison you in the darkest cells of kineldxus for the rest of your life."

"Ha! Who are you? Queen of this planet?" He quipped, after a whole month he had someone to talk to. He couldn't help he crave bickering.

"I am Cressida. Future Queen of Kineldxus." She smirked at him.

"Hmm! Ok! So, your highness when shall we begin?" He mirrored her smirk.

"Soon. However, first I need your help. Can you swathe my wounds?" She turned her bare back towards him, exposing deep cuts and wounds of her skin.

"You fool! How the hell did she escape?" Dork slammed their heads against the wall.

"We...tried your highness. She...ran faster into the wilderness and entered into a weird gadget. It flew into the air with her within a blink." They told him with fear clutching at their throats.

"Well. Immediately send a troop in search of her. Look for her in kineldxus. If you find her, kill her. I wish I had done that very long ago." He blasted his fist onto the table. His hand began to fall off, rapidly followed by a recovery process.

"How do you feel now?" He asked her, helping her to stand on the ground.

"Much better. Thanks, you humans are not that much inhumane." She smiled at him, before beginning to walk.

"What made you think that we are inhumane?" He chuckled, walking behind her.

"Two world wars were enough to tell the universe that how much inhumane you people could be." She stopped in her track and turned back. Her face had serious expressions.

"You are right. I wish that we could understand how war diminishes humanity." A slight sigh escaped his throat.

"Sometimes wars are necessary too. Especially when freedom is at stake." Her voice came more like a whisper.

"So tell me something about yourself." He tried to choose an easy topic.

"There is nothing more about me than that, I am the daughter of a knight who got killed while saving Alexios our late king. Deafroions, the inhabitants of Deaunknet held the remaining royalty captive, only I survived. Today I finally managed to escape after one year. It feels like a dream to be sitting here inhaling my own planets air." She inhaled deeply.

"I don't know what may happen next. Still, I assure you that I will help you with whatever I can do."

She smiled without answering him back and kept on walking.
