Thread: The Landing

It was a cool morning, early enough that hardly anyone was up and about, even on the highway there was little to no traffic at all. It was a cool morning, and there was mist and fog clinging to everything. It was fixing to be a wonderful morning, if a little boring, the sky blue and empty of clouds. It wasn't until about 750 AM, at least that is what the official report would say, a noise filled the air like a cannon going off high in the air, and without warning something began to careen right for the highway. It was massive, spherical in shape it was two stories tall and three stories long, made out of a strange metal that flexed and shimmered like metallic paper in the wind. It looked almost like one huge teardrop, reflecting the world it passed like a mirror as it struck the earth, cutting an enormous crater in the earth, ripping the highway in half, and driving a fifteen foot crater into the earth before it bounced and began to rip apart like it was made of wet newspaper, peeling apart in the stress and dirt, leaving only a mangled hull on one end, and half a ship on the other. There where pieces of metallic... it almost looked like ash, fluttering all over the place and a heavy green smoke spilling out of the ship hid most of the ship from view. There was a sudden movement, and what looked like a woman staggered out of the ship, coughing hard and staggering, collapsing onto the dirt, her blood, just as red as any humans, staining the earth as she tried to crawl away from the remnants of her destroyed ship. She was rather short, only about 5'5 or possibly 5'6, and she had long silver colored hair that she had pulled into a long ponytail, and she was as white as paper with strange blood red markings here and there along her body, almost like they where tattoos. She managed to crawl forward a few feet before she burst into coughs again and collapsed, her eyes as yellow as a piece of pure cold, reflective and shimmering like a gemstone they looked up at the nearest human and a terror filled them. She was roughly humanoid in shape, but her beautify was inhuman, no human could ever hope to look that enthralling. She also only had three fingers, which where longer than a humans, and a thumb, each tipped with a sharp claw like fingernail, and she had sharp like canines, clearly a meat eating creature. The strangest part of her was the ears however, long and pointed they where almost five inches in length, almost more like a horn than an ear at the tip. She also had a long tail, that was almost as long as she was, thick at the base and pointed at the tip like a lizards. She was covered in a fine soft fur, which was what was giving her the pure white appearance, she closed her eyes and tried to gather her strength to stave off the attack that these primitive monsters where no doubt going to unleash upon her as soon as they got over their shock, but she was in pain all over from being bounced around in the ship, which was collapsing in the heat of the emerald flames as it fed off the strange metallic outer skin. There was only one thing left to do, and she could only hope they understood English, which she had been learning while hovering above earths atmosphere. i beg... for peace....
