Flying through space at light speed was a small pod. In the pod was a young woman named Dyella, pronounced Dahlia, she was an alien escaping from her own planet. The planet was recently taken over, and chaos was the norm now a days. She and a few others made it out, just as more enemy troops were coming.

The young alien sighed deeply, and sunk into her padded seat. She had punched in any random coordinates, hopefully it will take her some place were life exists. The others on the others did the same thing, and while she waited to arrive at her destination, a thought popped into her head. She wondered if she'll meet some of her kin on the planet she's heading to. Her dark pink tail wagged slowly back and forth as she closed her eyes to hopefully get at least some kind of sleep.

Her planet was on the far ends of the universe. It was a small thing called Ryll, and the Ryllians were a simple people. They often were traders, trading with other near by planets. However, a bigger planet saw this as a chance to up their own profits, and took over Ryll. The invasion didn't last long, only a couple of months, and Dyella was forced to flee. She didn't want to become some kind of slave to one of the military men, or for some loathsome outsider.

On the planet of Dravielle, at the edge of the town of Misque, Karnina walked the small plowed plot of land behind her house, carefully spreading the seeds that would provide food for the family, and a bit extra for selling and trading in the market, in a few months time. All the people in her region had their own gardens, and her family had always had one just the same.
Dravielle, though a decent sized planet, but not huge, was a largely inhabited one, where every region was a community in its self. All the regions were self sufficient, but looked over by a Council, made up of the royals from each region; no region was greater or lesser than any other one. They all worked together, and they were all peaceful. It was just the nature of their race.

Once the seeds had been sown, Karnina wiped the sweat from her brow and looked up toward the dark purple morning sky, which would get lighter as the white sun rose higher into it. She guessed it would only be about five-thirty by that point, and though she was done with the small field already, there was still housework to be done. She would leave it to the rains to feed the seeds. Putting the basket of seeds back where she had taken it from, she reentered her house, tying her dark pink hair into high ponytail, which when let down reached her knees, and in the ponytail, it reached her thigh. She wiped the few stray hairs from her pale, blue tinted skin, and from her deep golden eyes. Karnina tightened the hoop earrings that went up one of her long, pointed ears, making sure they wouldn't fall out- her first task was washing the floor, and she did not want them to fall into the bucket... Again.

She lived alone, thus why all the work was her responsibility. Marriage seemed like an idiotic concept to her, since she did not care for any of the other of her kind she had met, and marriage seemed pointless without caring. Though, her brother, Kinsac, and his wife, Alenne, did stop in to see her every now and again, with Alenne's belly growing bigger and bigger with their child each time. Last time they had visited, it was a wonder to Karnina that Alenne could even walk! Her belly had grown so large it looked as though her belly button would pop right off her stomach. The wonder of having multiple babies in one womb. And the siblings and couple could not be more thrilled for it.

Dyella soon reached a planet. She looked at the rock ball, and seemed thrilled. No one seemed to even notice a foreign object hurling towards it. When the ship reached the atmosphere, Dyella started slowing down, but not enough to prevent her from crashing into Karnina's field. The alien groaned, since she nearly destroyed most of her crops. Dyella unbelted herself from the chair, and opened the door. Dyella feel out of the ship and onto her knees, and sighed deeply, inhale much of the foreign air as she could. 'This is nice....'She thought sighing happily. Freedom was what Dyella felt.

After soaking in the planet, she stood up, and closed the door to the ship. Then she noticed that she had landed in someone's yard. "Oh my-I'm so sorry! I had no idea!" Dyella stammered to Kanina. "I didn't mean to ruin your crops....please don't report me.!" The young woman then pleaded. 'Already here in freedom, and I might have to leave!' She thought almost breaking into tears. "I-I'll help you fix this, but please don't report me to your leaders!" She then added on holding her arms.

Once the crash had reached Karnina's ears, she rushed out to the door way, her mouth falling open at the sight. She leaned against the doorway, supporting herself against it as she watched a woman climb out of what appeared to be the ship she had come in. She moved from the doorway, stumbling forward a few steps. She surveyed the damage, seeing that almost two-thirds of her field had been consumed by the carnage. Then the other girl's words reached Karnina's ears.

She looked up to the other, who was begging to not be reported and apologizing out her ears, practically. The first thought in Karnina's mind was to report the girl, in hopes that her seedlings would be paid for. The field was all she really had, and with most of it damaged, she had practically nothing. Then came the words that the girl would help repair the damage. Her eyes met the other's and she watched her for many moments before answering, "If you help me, I will not report you." she replied, looking back to the destroyed part of the field, "But it will take a lot of work, and had better be done to my satisfactory." she added. Karnina was a rather kind person, and the newcomer was practically begging, how could she tell her no and report her? 'Something must have happened to this girl,' Karnina reasoned, and she might need help...' At least, that was how Karnina would justify it, to make herself feel less like a softie. "Come in, you look a bit shaken up. Rest a moment first, then we'll talk about repairs." she gestured, beckoning the girl with one finger to lead her inside.

Dyella wouldn't mind hard work. She'd be willing to do any kind of hard labor if it meant keeping her out of the way of the legal system. The woman nodded her head. "Of-of course!" She exclaimed feeling hopeful. Dyella sighed with relief with a smile on her face."Thank you miss!Thank you!" She then stated happily, before she followed Karnina without a second thought. The alien looked around at the sky hoping that nothing followed her. When she saw nothing, Dyella's attention turned to Karnina. "When do you want me to start working?" Dyella asked after keep silent for a short time. In fact she wouldn't mind working now, it wouldn't take long for her to move the ship into another location, plus she didn't want to seem all that helpless.

Karnina shrugged slightly when asked when, "Well, first thing first, we'll have to move the ship. I don't know where we're going to put that thing though... It may fit in the barn, but it's not exactly sturdy..." she sighed, boiling water over the fire in an iron kettle. Tea seemed like an appropriate drink for that moment, to calm the nerves. She was sincerely hoping her brother did not show up that day.

She turned towards the girl after she had set the kettle, "So, what's your name and where did you come from, before my yard?" she asked with a small laugh.

She sat on a small chair, and looked at Karina. "My name is Dyella, and I used to live on the small trading planet of Ryll, but we were quickly taken over. I didn't want to become some slave to the invaders, so I escaped. I punched in a random coordinate, and hoped for the best. Before I left I was warned that if I was caught, I would get put to death, since the new leader of Ryll made it so that the original Ryllians couldn't leave the planet." Dyella stated making a bit of a face. "We can take apart the ship, since I'll have to take it apart to fix it anyway.By the way what's your name?" The alien then stated. She was an engineer when she lived on Ryll, she would often fix up the ships that docked, while her father would trade in items.

Karnina listened to the story, a bit startled by the lot of it, and the amount of honesty the other alien was throwing at her at once. She blinked a few times, trying to figure out what to say, but was startled once again, that time by the kettle whistling. She took it from the fire and poured it over the tea. She handed the other the cup, finally finding her words, "It seems like quite the journey... Though, I am surprised you ended up here. What are the chances..?" she asked, mostly to herself. She then added, "Well, with the ship, if it's in pieces it should fit better, but the barn is still pretty shaky, so we'll have to be careful still..."

[Sorry I took so long to come back! ><;]

Dyella chuckled morbidly, as she took the cup, and held it into her hands. "Thank you for letting me stay here." The woman then stated as she blew on the tea before taking a light sip. She then looked out the window as if to see if anyone from a fleet was coming to collect her. "Don't worry, I'm a careful enough being, it just so happens that flying isn't something that I'm the best at." Dyella then said placing her cup down onto the table. Her tail swooshed smoothly back and forth lightly, showing that she might be nervous, but she isn't alarmed by anything.
