Shadow of the Crater
[Planet Mercury]
Asteroid Hit [Planet Mercury]
Sometimes we’re in the mouth of the whale—
and still other times we are running from the lion;
seldom are we in the jungle undisturbed; thus,
when it comes about, we must grab the moment…
Hidden on the surface by the polar-craters, hidden by the shadows is a hydrogen-based water supply emitting its way upward, ascending from the floor and sides of the crater, up towards the top and out of the crater somewhat, as most of it falls back down into and onto the crater, it then cools off the walls and surface and floor of this solar heated desert like area; the planet being some ten-times hotter than earth, and closer to the sun. There on its surface and within its crater, lives an ancient species, right from the planet Moiromma: yes, they appeared there many years ago, from Moiromma, others from earth, as they had been going on a second or third or fifth or tenth life. The settlement that resides there at present, originated from the Dark Ages of planet earth [around 1000 AD].
This location is the only place on the planet where the Moirommalit’s could have survived, where it was the coolest area on the planet; again that being the polar craters of which there were two side by side almost, by one another, and the larger one was the area in which [or by where] they settled; thus, under the shadow of the craters for the most part, facing away from the sun—that said, if ever they walked the surrounding ground of the crater, outside of it—is where they walked because of the coolness the shadow provided; other than that, they paced or walked inside the crater walls. The pack of Moirommalit’s were somewhat hemmed in, you might say. But as they had discovered in there multi life cycles, each planet had its own dimensions, struggles, dilemmas, danger areas; and then there were a few more promising planets rich with soils and seasons like Earth.
The craters both had their smooth and rough areas, terrain if you will; their battered areas showing its age—by way of the shifting winds, solar storms and other outer space debris seeping into its orbit, and crashing into its land surface. On this desert, and desolate planet, it was covered with rich iron and magnesium, volcanic rocks. And outside the shadows of the craters, were Mercury’s dunes.
Some two hundred Moirommalit’s now inhabited the planet, and after Siren had left Hell’s gulf, going aimlessly back and forth trying to find an entrance out of Hades River, always looking behind her and noticing Hell’s docks, her group getting weary, she got fed up with going in circles, in consequence, Siren jumped into the mucky waters—to commit secede, and did quite well in that area, and now ended up on Mercury, thinking it was possible, that she’d end up on Moiromma, but no such luck.
Asteroid 76
When Siren appeared on Mercury, she was met by none other than King Luhtc [from the house of Uhluhtc]; it was a pleasant meeting as far as Moirommalit’s go; that is to say, no death chanting or spell binding black magic took place. Yet it was not to last, for within seventy-six minutes of her introduction into this new society on the planet Mercury, devastation was sneering in the not too far distance.
And so it was written on this day and time and put into the Great Halls of the Great Cater Library on Mercury, that a giant asteroid, by the name of “Asteroid 76,” hit Mercury, killing all the inhabitants but two.
