Far out in space, a speck of red cut through the blackness. It was a dropship, battered and scarred from its long journey.

It was heading straight for a huge planet, a third of it covered in what looked like white clouds. The red light on the dropship flashed faster and faster as it got closer, caught by the planet's gravity.

The clouds were pushed aside as it plunged down towards the side of a mountain, Animals of all kinds stopped what they were doing and looked up, fear gripping their hearts.

The whole sky turned red as the dropship fell faster, crashing into the grassy-covered summit with an earsplitting boom. It slid down the slopes, gouging deep furrows in the pristine grass, towards the ground below, leaving a trail of destruction in its wake.

The dropship's door creaked open, revealing a figure silhouetted against the crimson sky. A man stepped out onto the grass-covered, his height—a towering 6'5"—emphasized by a lean, muscular frame that strained against his worn shirt.

His dark eyes scanned the breathtaking panorama of the grass lands with a mixture of surprise and exhilaration.

He inhaled deeply, the frigid air filling his lungs and jolting him fully awake. With a satisfied exhale, he reached back into the dropship and retrieved a pistol, tucking it discreetly behind his back.

Next, he grabbed a worn duffel bag, its contents a mystery, though a small, sturdy hatchet peeked out from the opening. Clearly, this man was prepared for whatever awaited him in this unknown world.
