Waking Up

The loud sound grew from the bottom of the silence until it woke me up. Still feeling dizzy I tried to focus my eyes on something strange before me. A blue screen was floating in front of me like the old computers had. Doesn’t matter where I look, it was there.

- Please sir, accept the message so we can chat.

The sudden voice put my heart to jump and all my hairs were up. In an instant I was out of the bad, crawling on the floor, wherever it is, it would not get me so without a fight.

The damn didn’t go away, so I started to look into the corners of my vision. After a brief moment, nothing happened and whenever is out there didn’t move a flinch. I don’t know if it is good or bad.

A brief sigh came from the direction of the voice.

- Sir, I’m sorry to have startled you. I promise I won’t attack.

I heard it before, sweet words that trick you into an evil den. But one thing is for sure, a long time passed and I could not be like this forever.

- Do you want me to accept the message?

- Yes

- How?

A surprise sigh came from her.

-You only need to think.

As she said, with thought the screen dismissed and another appear,

Your planet entered in the core system, congratulations!

The inhabitants can enter int he core domains and strengh your planet.
