Free City. Thats what we planned to make when we landed in Earth. A habitable place for our worshippers.

I thought of this. I crash landed us in a place called a barenned island. Less then 1,000 people crowded around our ship, some banging on our sensitive windows.

Godesses. That’s what they called us. They knelt before us all, their ‘hands’ clasped together. We promised them land and food.

We were built a large castle. It was made out of stumbly mortar, and reddish orange hard scratchy blocks. They gave us everything. Everything they had.

For the ones who didn’t?

Well, thats a debate.

(Blast from the past INCOMING)

Inuueq brought us to a round table. One they called, “The Divine Table of Goddesses.” Nine chairs for nine of us. We sat down randomly. I was next to Pilutaq and Sorsunneq.

(Keep in mind they’re talking in their native alien language- I translated it into English so life is easier for both of us.)

“Okay. I brought us all here to.. dicuss something.” Inuueq drew circles on the table with her index finger. “Well?..” Sorsunneq spat.

“An anonymous goddess has complained about the people that were killed a few days ago after they disobeyed our orders.” Inuueq seemed nervous about the topic.

Did I know who submitted this order? No.

Do I absolutely believe it’s Toqu? Yes.

“What’s the problem about?” Nuannara scoffed. “Look, I’m not sure.” Inuueq sighed, summoning what seemed to be a little booklet. “Something about how they didn’t deserve to die.”

“They didn’t.” Ulloriaq sat up more. “We crash landed here and demanded their land and obedience. Obviously someone was gonna disobey- but that doesn’t mean we should have killed them!” Ulloriaq’s rant stopped when Seqineq pulled on her arm.

Toqu stayed silent.

Imeaq leaned back. “Look. They could’ve started a riot against us. We’re trying to do what’s best for us. If we hadn’t crash landed in this awful barren landscape, we would be perfectly fine. No one would have to die.” She seemed harsh, clearly trying to destroy Ulloriaq’s point.

Seqineq crossed her arms. “We can’t even do anything. We don’t know who crashed our ship, or if it was just a space phenomena. I’m sorry, Ulloriaq, but we can’t do anything about them either. Toqu has them.”

Ulloriaq’s angry gaze shifted to the quiet Toqu. “Let them go.” She demanded. “It doesn’t work like that.”

“Let them go, now, Toqu.”

Toqu took a breath. “I can’t free them. But I know who crashed the ship.”

What?..

Wait. That’s me.

“Tell us then- go on!” Sorsunneq nudged her.

“It was Aningi.”

Oh my. Did she really just..

Everyone’s eyes drifted to me. “The Goddess of luck, worth, and fortune. No wonder we got landed in a habitable place.”

What?

“This meeting is done. Everyone, just.. leave. I need to speak to Aningi in private.”
