As Soldiers

Barren and rugged, the terrain stretched out in vast expanses, broken only by great and complex formations of crystalline structures, their surfaces glowing with countless hues.

Some crystals reflected light in icy blues that glinted like frozen stars, while others let out deep purples that seemed to pulse and dance. 

A lightning bolt split the clouds and, in a flash, landed on one of those crystalline structures. 

As if split by that structure, four bolts shot out horizontally, before being themselves split as they landed on the surrounding structures of crystal, leading to rays shooting vertically, horizontally, and diagonally.

A gigantic and three-dimensional figure was drawn by the numerous reflected lights, before quickly fading away.

All turbulence had ceased.

The spaceship landed on Serolia.

"Oufff!!!" Rea stretched her arms upwards. "Holy shit, that was nerve-wracking."
