Mikaela sat in the pilot chair watching the people below be shocked and amazed.

The arrival of her aircraft at fort had the villagers and town people, who had never seen one up close before, become scared and excited.

"I feel like an alien landing on a new planet to greet its inhabitants…" Mika mumbled to herself.

Lowering the landing gear, she waited for the soldiers on the field to lock the craft in place before opening the ramp.

Commander Zo with his grandsons and Mika and her crew stepped off the vessel to a big audience.

"Hello, we come in peace." Mika waved her hand, that turned into a v, at General Narbeth and his men as they stared wide-eyed at them.

"Yes, Miss Amara…"

"Please, calling Miss Mikaela."

"Yes, Miss Mikaela….Umm, do you have the umm…"

"Honey?"
