As I abandoned the ship’s pod after landing, I started investigating a field with grass as tall as the biggest of the trees on earth. It felt as a labyrinth. Suddenly, I tripped and when I raised my head, there it was: a blue fox with two tails which playfully was jumping side by side surrounding me. It was beautiful, charming and eerie. He looked harmless, so I stood up, petted it, gave it a small chunk of my multi-nutrient buns, and kept moving.
After I left the tall grass forest, I bumped into a cascade of purple water. It was relaxing and the white noise generated by the splashing water made me fall sleep by accident, resting my head on top of my traveling backpack.
Then I heard a noise, like a violent splash which suddenly woke me up. Curious I get close to the water, and I saw a green glow which grabbed my attention.
My curiosity got the best of me, equipped my scuba diving suit, and then jumped into the purple waters, below the cascade. And what a surprise, it was a glowing crab. I took some photos of it, surprised by the discovery.
After the crab, I noticed in the dark area a small underwater cave. Something was definitely moving, so I took my time to check that cave.
The cave was small, and dark. And then I felt like something grabbed my feet, making me unable to move. I got entangled into some kind of weed. It startled me and I was scared.
Quickly I picked up my knife and cut it, though it was an arduous labor. The weed seemed to regrow quickly as I cut it, much like the head of an hydra. Through persistence I managed to escape, but shush, that was scary.
After the diving adventure I continued walking, towards a Volcano. The purple color of the water and distinctive glow of the wildlife is most likely due to the high concentration of sulfur in this planet, so to gather some more knowledge it makes sense to go and investigate the volcanoes of the area.
During the climb, I stopped for a second for a short snack, sitting on a rock. However, I was completely oblivious to the fact that the rock had some inscription in an alien language, and it held some kind of special shape, like a perfectly cut, squared diamond shape. It resembles some kind of altar. Maybe it was culturally bound to the volcano for the former inhabitants of the planet, as some kind of ritual?
