Through the Stars, We Can Love

"My name is Èlodia 275 of Civus Clan, heir to the throne of the Galactic Ally's of Civus, Tubos, Fibs, and Aebs. Today we will celebrate the returning of the veterans who came from the wretched planet of Earth. " I always hated reading from these passages they gave me, it could never be my own words and thoughts out there. They never did that for my ancestors, just me. "The humans took the four explorers from each of our clans, when they sought out peace, and tortured them. As we all know, only three came back. Citizen of Civus, Loba 836, will be remembered with the highest level of honor along with the three veteran explorers who did come home to their families and clan. Their families will be given any necessities they need without question and keep their honor for years after they have deceased. Today, everyone in each clan can choose to stay home and spend special time with your families, if you choose not to you'll be payed double for this day as your extra time in. Enjoy your day and farewell." Finally, it's over. They deserve the highest respect of course, but this ceremony always gets to me. My aunt was everything to me and the humans never thought of how she would be missed. I look at my mother and father then walk away from the platform and into my home. The palace is the most extraordinary place anyone can see, it's withstood millions of years, through war, disease, civil conflict and the peace. I believe the walls could tell me stories if they spoke. I look into the mirror of the first floor guest bathroom. My pale skin and unique eyes are the only thing that actually keeps me from looking like the humans, the rest of the Civus clan has the same skin but no one has the same eye color. I am heir because of mine; the galaxy is in my eyes.
