Lasta Coop A Planet Without Weather Part Four

 The Weatherless

Lasta looked around at the purple rocks and the golden pyramids beyond them. She looked at the colourful sky. There were so many stars, scattered in the sky like glitter of all colours. Pink, purple and green dust clouds were swirling in the far distance. She could see all of the planets, moons, asteroids and rocks that looked like chalk dust.

"That's beautiful!" She exclaimed.

Otb placed a hand upon her head.

"Come, we're not here for sightseeing. So don't slow us down." 

She nodded as she followed them. They travelled up the rocky hill. The first thing that she saw was the crystal obelisk in the far distance that towered above the land. It was as wide and as tall as a skyscraper with a white light at the top.

She was about to take a moment to appreciate the beauty when she remembered Salynara. So she quickly looked for her and once she found her she followed her. They walked on and on. She travelled after them, following every step.

"Girl?"

"Yes Mistress?"

"Just checking to see if you were still there!"

She nodded.

Then she looked to the left and spotted something moving. She looked at it and saw a rock fall. Then she ran on.

"Do you think-"

That was when a rock hit her. She hit the ground. As she looked up she saw another rock hit her.

"Aw!"

"Girl, get up!"

She did and went to them. She was hit by another rock. She saw the other two walking further and further away. Then they were hit too. Then more and more rocks hit them again and again then it all went black.

When they woke up they noticed that they were not wearing their clothes. They were all in identical grey tracksuits with a bright orange streak going from the side of each side of the trouser legs and sleeves.

Suddenly Lasta felt warm and comfortable. She looked around to see that she had a blanket on. She could feel that she was on a thin bed with a thin mattress and pillow.

She was brought a bowl of brown soup. In it had blue chunks in it. She picked up a green spoon next to her soop. 

"Here, eat."

"Thank you sir!" She exclaimed as she took it.

"Wouldn't thank me if I was you." Said a creature.

She looked up to see a creature with a silver shirt and trousers. It has slender arms and legs. He had wide light green eyes with scarlet pupils. Its skin was pale white with green vanes.

Her mouth dropped open. She looked down to see the warm food in her hand and started to eat. The soop reminded her of stew with the cubes tasting like carrots, just sweeter. The purple meat tasted like a cross between lamb and beacon. She ate it slowly, taking in every single moment. It had been a long time since she had tasted something so lovely. Yet, once she was finished, she was taken where she was joined by Salynara and Otb. 

"Come."

They were led to the largest pyramid. Inside she saw another alien.

"Good morning all." Said the one that they were looking at.

"Good morning."

Wait, it's morning?

"Today, the Court Of The Weatherless have come together to debate the criminals in front of us."

"What did we do?"

"Silence boy!"

Then it turned to the rest.

"We have, as you can see, three individuals from another planet, which is a crime to come here if you're not from this planet. Which is punishable by death."

"What can we do? All exactions today are all booked up and we do not have time for another."

He nodded.

"Then they shall be executed in the morning on the morrow." He declared and the rest of the Weatherless clapped. "For now, they will be in the jail cell with the others."

With the sound of another clap they were led away. Lasta noticed that there was a cover over Salynara's head.
