Chapter 26: Maybe We Should Stop Making Friends

Hiytax saw a black ship descending. The screams of his fellow Gahldorians pierced the air. He was certain this wasn’t really happening. He remembered this once before. A black ship, larger than anything he had ever seen. The familiar glow of the canons obliterating his home. Civilizing his home.

Hiytax!

Someone was calling his name. He tried to look around for whoever it was, but he couldn’t move. He was stuck in place again. Forced to watch the gargantuan ship tear his world apart.

Wake up!

He could hear explosions off in the distance, yet somehow, they felt extremely close. He tried to move again to no avail. He wasn’t sure why he was so desperate to move from where he was. He just knew he had to go.

HIYTAX!
