...." Only in the background she saw how this strange animal was now fixated on her and leaping to a fatal leap. She didn't care about anything, she couldn't want to live that way anyway, so she stayed where she was, prepared for the end. Why wasn't she afraid? Hemera didn't know and she didn't care, she didn't care. Everything had become pointless.


She closed her eyes again, she neither wanted to nor her mother, but to see this being, in the end she did not want to see anything.But a scream made her eyes open again. “HEY, YOU DA! WHAT'S THAT?” Hemera saw two people running towards her and the animal! Ran? No, they were flying, they were flying at such a high speed that they could hardly be taken, just above the ground. Was it the same as before? No! These two men looked different. Men? Was it men? No, that could hardly be possible because their skin was green. Hemera could see nothing more, since they were moving so fast. They came up to her, but flew past her and knocked the animal-like creature down so that it quickly fled.


Hemera assumed everything was just blurry, too much had happened at once! It was as if her brain couldn't take in anything anymore, couldn't hold anything anymore. But then she heard the one green person saying something: "Dende, you take this girl out of here! She can't stay here, quickly!" And so one of them flew away again.Hemera saw the second green figure come running towards her. * Does he want to kill me too? Oh, then do it * Hemera didn't care! With half-open eyes she felt two strong arms wrapped around her body and lifted her up. She felt a violent gust of wind, was she in the air? And if so, what did that change? She let go of everything, then closed her eyes completely and passed out.




Hemera's senses were slowly awakening again. Where was she? She felt too weak to open her eyes, she kept them closed. She felt really good, she wanted to be lost forever in this pleasant dream world, always just slumbering peacefully and forgetting everything else around her. Why was she sleeping anyway? All she could remember was those arms that raised her. But who did they belong to and why did this someone pick them up? Two muffled voices made Hemera prick up his ears, but still with his eyes closed.

"Are you sure?" "Believe me, I searched the whole area! No survivor, except for this girl and three others who are fine!" "Who were these madmen? And since when has the human girl been sleeping?" " She passed out when I brought her here. "


Hemera opened her eyes. The memory of what had happened was just coming. Like a film strip, everything ran again before her eyes. Her best friend, bleeding and filthy under the rubble of the ruined city and her mother, her neck broken and lifeless on the ground, and then this lustful creature that caused this. Slowly and twitching, she opened her eyes. Where was she? Who saved her? Why hadn't she been left there? Then she would now be with her family and her friend. She was lying in a bed, a kind of four-poster bed, she realized as she slowly looked around. Two men stood next to her, or so it seemed. Hemera remembered.They were the same ones that came flying towards her shortly after she passed out. Then she thought she had only imagined this green skin color, but now it was reality. These two beings had green skins! And elongated, pointy ears. She couldn't see any more, because the two had turned their backs on her. One, a little taller than the other, had a kind of turban on his head and a white cloak. The other was a little more delicate and was smaller. Who were these strangers? Without moving any further, she listened to the conversation between the two of them.


"So, do you want to keep her here first?" "Yes, something is wrong and besides ... where else should she go?" said the smaller one and his voice was almost a whisper. "Good, but take care of her. And how are you going to explain who or what you are? Who we are?" "Well ... I thought you could do that." "What? Me again, sure ! Could Goku and the others at least destroy the enemy?"" Yes, apparently it wasn’t an overpowering race that came to earth to have some ! "" But .... "The taller of the two didn't get any further, because Hemera tried to get up and thus attracted the attention of both of them.


Hemera still felt quite shaky on her feet, but she was better than she first thought! But when the two men turned around, she got a shock. They had to be aliens !!! They had no hair, no eyebrows, and two elongated structures protruding from their foreheads, which looked very similar to antennae. What kind of guys were they? "Who ... are you?" Hemera asked irritated. "You are awake? How are you?" asked the smaller one worried, but Hemera did not answer. "Who ... who in the world are you?" The smaller one now took a step forward and looked at her with his black eyes. "My name is Dende and this is Piccolo!" "Piccolo? Does he drink so much of it or why is his name?" Hemera asked, somewhat perplexed by the unusual names.The big one, Piccolo, cleared his throat audibly and Hemera quickly fell silent. "You will be hungry for sure! I'll get something." And with these words Piccolo left the room. "How are you?" asked Dende again. "Well ... according to the circumstances." answered Hemera and then sat on the edge of the bed. “Was it you who saved me?” “Yes, otherwise this bloodthirsty animal would have killed you!” Dende came even closer to Hemera and looked at her with a mixture of pity and concern. Hemera looked back. Something in his eyes caught her, she couldn't explain it to herself, but she couldn't take her eyes off his own. So they looked at each other for a short time until they noticed what they were doing and at the same time looked somewhat embarrassed at the floor. There was silence for a while, until Hemera broke the silence: "Why did you save me? You shouldn't have done that!" "What? Why?" "Then I would now be with my family and my best friend ... I can Don't believe all of this yet .... it's so ... terrible .... "She looked sadly at the floor and wanted to start crying, wanted to cry out her pain, but nothing came!Not a single tear came, her eyes remained clear. It was terrible, Hemera felt so awkward, so helpless, so alone. Dende tried to calm her down, but he didn't really succeed.


When Piccolo came back a short time later, he had a large tray in hand with all sorts of goodies on it, but Hemera was not hungry. How could she even think of food in such a situation? She still saw Raila and her mother in front of her. Dead, bleeding, lifeless, pale. And should she eat something? "Prepared extra by Popo!" it came from Piccolo. At first she wanted to comment on this funny name, but it stuck in her throat and she swallowed it again. "Not hungry?" Piccolo asked when she didn't move. Hemera shook his head. Finally she addressed what she had wanted to ask all along. "What ... what exactly are you guys doing?" Dende and Piccolo exchanged brief questioning glances, then Dende replied: "Well ... we must seem like aliens to you.In a sense, that's true, but in a good way. Our breed is called Namekians. "Namekians? She had never heard that word before, and everyone probably looked like the two of them. But somehow she found their looks pretty. When you got over the first little shock, they were really pretty. Hemera looked at Dendes again Eyes and could only with difficulty turn away from them. What was that? Why couldn't she let go of him? She quickly pushed the thought away. "What ... will happen to me now? "" First you will stay here until we know what else to do. "Piccolo said curtly and went out." But we are still on earth, aren't we? "Hemera asked a little unsettled. The question sounded stupid, but was beginning to surprise she no longer. Dende didn't seem to find this question stupid at all, on the contrary. He replied in a friendly manner: "Yes, don't worry! Only two of our race exist on earth, the rest on our home planet."" Wow .... I never thought that such a thing would exist ... "She couldn't say more about it. It was all too new, too unfamiliar, too suddenly." Well, since you've been for a while "said Dende. Hemera nodded silently and tried to get up, but with this attempt she swayed a little and Dende hurried over to help her. He put his hand behind her back around hers Waist and supported her. Hemera felt the strong hand around her and suddenly got a slight tingling sensation in her stomach. What was that? She had never had such a feeling. "Are you going again?" "Um ... Yeah, all right. "Hemera blushed a bit. Dende let go of her and led her through the long corridors of the palace. Hemera was amazed." Man oh man ... Dende, what is this here? A mansion? Your home is huge! "" Well, it's more of a palace. God's palace. " "What? God's palace? But ... there is one ... one ... then we should be in heaven!"" In a way, we are too! " "How? "Dende had to smile." I'll show you later. First of all, I'll show you your room. So here we are! I hope you like it! "He stopped and opened a door on his right. Hemera's eyes widened as she stepped into her room. If that could still be called a room. The term" hall "would have been more appropriate! The room was very large , with long windows with blue curtains. The floor was made of marble and a large yellow carpet stretched over it. To her right was the bed, which could easily accommodate three people in it Closet, right next to it a table with chairs and by the window there was a huge sofa with comfortable-looking pillows on it. "I ... I think I'm crazy! That is the purest luxury! "Dende waved him off." Oh ... just a normal room here in the palace. Is it big enough "Hemera nodded vigorously, words seemed to be lacking."Well, it's already late! I suggest you sleep in first to get over your shock, tomorrow the world will look different again." Dende wished her a good night
