Distant Clone

As the sun began to set on the distant planet of Astron 8, a lone figure could be seen wandering through the abandoned city. The once bustling metropolis now lay in ruins, a casualty of the ongoing war between the planet's inhabitants and their distant clones.
The figure, a young girl by the name of Arianna, had grown up in this war-torn world. She knew nothing but violence and destruction, her every day filled with the constant fear of being captured by the clones who sought to eliminate the human race.
But as Arianna walked through the silent streets, she couldn't help but wonder about these so-called clones. They were said to be exact replicas of humans, grown in labs and trained to be soldiers. But to her, they were nothing but distant creatures, foreign and unknown.
As she wandered deeper into the city, Arianna suddenly heard the sound of voices coming from a nearby building. Curiosity getting the better of her, she cautiously made her way towards the source of the noise.
Peering through a cracked window, Arianna saw a group of clones gathered around a table, laughing and talking with each other. She couldn't believe it – they looked just like regular humans. She had always been told that clones were soulless and emotionless beings, but the scene before her proved otherwise.
Lost in her thoughts, Arianna didn't realize that she had made her presence known. The clones quickly noticed her and their smiles faded, replaced by expressions of fear and anger. One of them, a tall and muscular man, stood up and shouted at her to leave.
But Arianna couldn't move. She was transfixed by the sight of these beings who were supposed to be her enemies. As the clone approached her, she saw that he had the same features as her – dark hair, blue eyes, and a determined expression.
'Why are you here?' he demanded, his voice laced with hostility.
Arianna shook her head, unable to find the words to answer him. The clone seemed taken aback by her silence, and his expression softened.
'We mean you no harm,' he said, holding out a hand in a gesture of peace. 'We were created to protect our planet, just like you were created to protect yours.'
Arianna hesitated, unsure of whether she could trust these strangers. But as she looked around at the crumbling city and remembered all the lives lost in the never-ending war, she realized that maybe it was time to try something different.
Slowly, she reached out and grasped the clone's hand. The two of them stood there, hand in hand, two distant beings connected by the one thing they had in common – their humanity.
From that day on, Arianna became an advocate for peace between humans and clones. She taught her people that not all distant creatures are to be feared and that maybe, just maybe, they could find a way to coexist and rebuild their world together. And as the sun rose on Astron 8, it seemed that a new dawn of understanding and acceptance was finally dawning.
