Detour and exploration

As Araquiel flew, he noticed a planet on his path that caught his attention. It was a beautiful planet with a vibrant blue and green atmosphere that looked inviting."I still have time for a little exploration" he thinked "and that will be my first time visiting another planet and seeing it by myself than in a book". He decided to take a closer look and make a quick stop there before continuing on his journey to the interstellar union.

As he descended through the planet's atmosphere, he could see the lush landscape below him, filled with towering trees, crystal-clear streams, and colorful flowers. He landed softly on the ground and was greeted by a group of curious creatures, they looked like cerf but they were more big and had iridescent, shimmering fur that changed colors in the sunlight. As he approached the creatures, he noticed that they had long, pointed ears and large, intelligent eyes that seemed to survey him with interest.

One of the creatures stepped forward and extended a hoof-like appendage in greeting. As he tentatively shook it, he felt a surge of energy pass between them, like an electric shock. The creature made a series of musical chirps and trills, and the others gathered around, their expressions full of curiosity.

"he's not afraid of me ? Why?" that was very surprising for him to see animals being so friendly towards a stranger.

The creature that had greeted him seemed to sense his hesitation, and it made a reassuring gesture with its hoof-like appendage. It then made a series of chirps and trills that sounded musical, like a song. The other creatures gathered around, their expressions full of curiosity and wonder.

As the creature continued to communicate with him through its musical language, he felt a strange surge of energy pass between them, like an electric shock. He wasn't sure if it was a physical sensation or simply a feeling, but he sensed that the creature was trying to convey something important to him.

He looked around at the other creatures, and was struck by how friendly and welcoming they all seemed. They were all different from one another, with unique colors and patterns on their fur, but they all shared an air of kindness and curiosity.

As he tentatively reached out to touch one of the creatures, it nuzzled against his hand, emitting a soft hum of contentment. He felt a sense of wonder and awe at the connection he was making with these creatures, and he knew that he had stumbled upon something truly magical.

As he interacted with the friendly creatures on this new planet, he couldn't help but be surprised by how different they were from the animals back on his home planet. On his planet, animals had always seemed to run away from him, as if they sensed something dangerous about him. It was a feeling that had always left him feeling isolated and alone.

But here, on this new planet, the creatures seemed to welcome him with open arms. He reached out to pet one of the creatures, and it nuzzled against his hand, emitting a soft, comforting hum.

"This is amazing," he said, his voice filled with wonder. "Back on my planet, animals never wanted anything to do with me. I always felt like an outsider."

The creature that had greeted him made a series of chirps and trills, and the others gathered around, as if in agreement.

He remembers what his father told him when he was only 80 years old and animals were running away from him. "father, why are they so afraid of me ? is it because I'm dangerous?" his eyes were on the verge of tears and his father told him "don't worry my boy, animals have a natural instinct to sense danger and they are just being cautious. It's nothing personal against you. In fact, it's a good thing that they are afraid because it means they will stay away from you and you won't accidentally harm them. It's important to respect the animals and their instincts and one day you will see how they will approach you" said is father with a smile.

He couldn't help but smile at the thought. For the first time in a long time, he felt like he had found a place where he belonged.

As he looked around, he noticed that the landscape was unlike anything he had ever seen before. The trees were tall and twisted with branches that seemed to reach for the sky. The air was thick with the sweet scent of flowers and the sound of buzzing insects.

"This planet is so beautiful more beautiful than home" he stated

Feeling a sense of wonder and awe, he realized that he had stumbled upon a world unlike any other, full of strange and wondrous creatures and sights beyond his wildest imagination. He knew that he was in for an adventure like no other, and he couldn't wait to explore this magical new land.

He continued to explore the planet, he suddenly heard a soft tinkling sound. He turned, and to his surprise, a small fairy fluttered out from behind a nearby tree. She had delicate wings that shimmered in the sunlight, and her skin was a soft shade of green, like the leaves of a springtime plant.

The fairy regarded him with a curious expression, and he felt a strange sense of warmth and comfort wash over him. Without a word, the fairy gestured for him to follow and began to fly through the forest with a graceful, fluid motion.

As they flew, the forest around them began to thin, and he caught a glimpse of a glittering city in the distance. The fairy led him through the gates of the city, and he was immediately struck by the beauty of the place. The buildings were made of a shimmering material that glowed softly in the sunlight, and the streets were lined with trees that bloomed with delicate, fragrant flowers.

He realized that he had stumbled upon a civilization unlike any other, full of strange and wondrous creatures and sights beyond his wildest imagination. He knew that he was in for an adventure like no other, and he couldn't wait to explore this magical new land.
