Local townfolk have been reporting an aggressive creature in the water,
We've spent weeks trying to capture it, just to realize it's a dinzi!

The "kelpie", as we've nicknamed it, has been extremely hostile to all of us!
When observing its behavior and.. it seems to be searching for something?
We've found out it isn't one of the normal dinzis on earth, and came directly from space..
Perhaps it crashed, and is searching for something it once had..?

What are they searching for?: happiness

she was neither the beginning
or the end
nor anything mankind carried within
but instead,
the dark void that pinned them all in

a long time ago
she may have been happy
somewhere
somehow
but now
she had no purpose
no goal
no home

the void was her place
but never a welcoming one

the empty vacuum of space held no power in her presence
she swam as easily through the endless stars as she did through her long, long life
a purposeless life
her only companions being the beginning
and the end
but they always ran ahead
never stopped
never paused
never existed

she knew not of her creation
nor when she would finally stop

and she had nothing

nothing to look for
nothing to hope for
nothing to aim for
nothing to be

and then
earth



she yearned for the lives the beings below kept
though their lives much more short and and possibly even more meaningless than her own
they still had something to look for
something to hope for
something to aim for
something to be
they had a life

these beings
were happy

their ideals were different

but she wanted that for herself as well, again

and she would fight for that right
whether she deserved it or not, after all this time

Falling, plummeting, towards the strange planet they call Earth. How dare they banish me from my own home. I never did anything. Well, okay, maybe chasing her majesty towards an underwater volcano so that you could be king might have been a problem. But I had good intentions, our planet of ocean would have been much stronger if I ruled them. None of them knew or could even imagine what a mistake they had made. Finally, I entered the atmosphere of this new planet. Ooh, I hope I can be a ruler of some sort on this planet. What am I saying? I will rule this planet. Closer and closer. I prepared myself to land, though it wasn't as smooth as I thought it would be. Sand flew everywhere as I landed. Where was the water? My planet was all water, this was like what was on the bottom of the ocean. I turned my head, and saw waves crashing into rocks by the sea. I flopped towards the water. Goodness, I look like a near dead fish. I propped myself up with my front legs and finally managed to pull myself into the ocean. I sniffed the air. It smelled different than where I came from, but it would half to do. I moved farther and farther into the waves, until I was completely surrounded by water. This was much better than the emptiness of space. Diving my head into the ocean, I looked around. It was lighter than the oceans back home, and emptier. No one like me around. But what had I expected, this was a different planet, of course there were different creatures. I glided through the water with ease, as though the waves were saying this is where you belong, you were meant to rule these waters. Aah, and how true they were.

That morning, I woke with my head out of the water. I seemed to have been caught by a current, as this wasn't anywhere near the beach I had landed on. I looked up. A cliff, with what appeared to be houses on it. But they couldn't be. The only houses I'd seen were underwater. Then again, water is all I know. Well, that is, it was all I knew. That was before I was banished. I snarled in fury. Diving into the waves again, I grabbed a fish and ripped it in half. How dare they. I screamed a horrible scream of rage. Noises came from the houses above. How odd. Glancing upward, I saw strange creatures approaching the edge of the cliff. They were weird. Two legs, no tail, two eyes (what was even odder, both of them were open and on their face), and they stood upright. The smaller ones (some sort of deformed ditzi?) pointed and made chattering noises. I glared back at them, then bared my fangs and snarled like I had before. This seemed to scare them, and I felt oddly pleased. Fear, yes, I could rule this planet with fear. I sank stealthily down into the water, and decided to search for something to eat.

The sun high in the sky when I saw it. It was standing as close to the ocean as someone could get without being fully immersed in water. But who wouldn't want to be in water? This thing looked similar to a dinzi from my planet, but it couldn't be, could it? I swam towards it, diving and dipping in the waves, feeling more content than curious. When I approached it, the thing turned its head towards me. It was a dinzi, but a very odd one at that. It was a mixture of blues and it had an odd tail. I tilted my head, and the dinzi tilted its head back at me. Her head, actually. She blinked her eye at me, and I blinked right back. "Stop copying me," I commanded her. She opened her mouth, and said, "Who are you?" She spoke with an odd accent, and she looked at me in a way that made me want to claw her face off. "I am Caleb, potential ruler of planet Cordelia," I hissed back at her. And you know what that dinzi did? She just stared back at me. Then, lifting her head, she spoke slowly, "Oh. Never heard of it. Well, I'd better be off." I felt like slapping her. "Hey! Aren't you going to tell me who you are?" I called, even though she was half way up the cliff. Had she been a little bet closer, I might have dragged her into the ocean and let the waves have her. Hmm, that would really show these Earth creatures who's boss. Turning her head to look back at me, she opened her mouth to speak again and said in that odd accent, "Whiteout." And that was the last I saw of that odd ditzi.

The next morning, the ocean was surrounded by those weird creatures who had gathered on the cliff yesterday morning. But these had nets and ropes in their hands. Are they planning to capture me? I thought. Ha, I'd like to see them try. I snarled like I had yesterday, but these larger creatures didn't scream or even flinch. Hmm. It wouldn't be that easy to capture me, so I dove down into the deeps again. But they came back the next day. And the next. And the next. It seemed like they never left, so I decided I would need to scare them off. I glided towards them and snarled again. Instead of running like I expected them to, the nets and ropes were thrown onto me. I flailed, but I only got more tangled. I cried out an eerie call, but no help came. My one yellow eye glared up at the one closest to me. They pulled me closer to the shores, and I realized how gentle they were being. Did they think they could hurt me? How dangerous could these creatures be?


And now here I am, in some place with many dinzis, all of them strange and finless like the one I met by the cliff. And I'm still searching, and I'll always be, for my home. For the planet I once knew, and the dinzis I was meant to rule.
