“Where did that stupid meteorite go?” Enrico scolded. "Calm down again, here is another fragment," said Lydia. It lit a stone less than two meters from Enrico. Still angry, he stomped over to her and picked up the chunk. On closer inspection it was identical to the material found in the "Meteor". Only its shape was a bit strange. It was also teardrop-shaped and about three times the size of other meteorites.But it also had a depression on the side that exactly matched the other meteors. "Hm ... whether that fits in there?" Lydia wondered aloud. "Huh? What should fit in there?" asked Enrico gruffly. Still in a bad mood, he didn't understand what Lydia was up to. She quickly ran to the car and took out your bag. Back at Enrico's, she took out the piece of rock she had found and took the meteorite from his hand. Enrico now watched astonished as Lydia carefully placed the little meteor in the other's recess. Suddenly the little meteorite started to glow and slowly merged with the other rock. The whole part began to float. Enrico and Lydia watched the spectacle in disbelief.
<br />
After the little boulder had disappeared completely in the other meteor, it glowed slightly reddish. The lump changed shape. The previously round part of the "drop" became just as pointed as the other half. Startled by what had happened, Enrico took a few steps back.Lydia, on the other hand, didn't move an inch; she stared at the meteorite as if mesmerized. Now this reddish luminous stone was aligned with the stars. A faint white beam shot from the sky-facing point. The thing slowly slid to Lydia and hovered about three feet above her in the air.
<br />
"Lydia!" called Enrico. She didn't respond. "Lydiaa!". Lydia still didn't respond. Her gaze was fixed on the stone. A slight shock wave threw Enrico to the ground. At the same moment another beam emerged from the other side of the now elliptical rock. Lydia threw up her arms and screwed up her eyes. The light began to envelop her completely. "Lydiaaaa!" shouted Enrico with all his might. Filled with fear, he had to watch as she was swallowed by the beam of light. A piercing scream escaped Lydia's throat. Her body slowly dissolved into light.
<br />
The beam disappeared again into the still reddish glowing rock.There was nothing to be seen of Lydia. A light pink, handball-sized sphere shone in its place. It floats about 1.5 m above the ground.
<br />
Enrico swallowed. Nothing like it had happened to him in his young life. Discouraged, he got up again and walked close to the sphere. "I'm ... I'm sorry." was all he produced. Dejected, he wanted to grab the bullet, but quickly backed away. The red thing began to focus on him now. Panic seized Enrico. He didn't want to end up as a ball of energy. He quickly climbed out of the crater. When he looked back, the red glowing thing had centered in the middle of the crater. The pink sphere of energy still floated below him. With a loud hissing sound, the thing with the energy ball jets towards space.
<br />
Enrico looked sadly after the falling star. Many questions now stormed into his mind: How should he explain Lydia's disappearance? What should he do now without her? Who would believe him what he just experienced?Why hadn't he prevented it? He just didn't know what to do. Dejected, he trotted to the car and drove home.
<br />
<br />
At home, when he got to his room, Enrico first threw himself on his bed. Frau Hoffmann had asked him in astonishment where Lydia was. He went up without answering. Sadly, he reviewed the last few minutes with Lydia. A pain he had never known before spread through him. And then these agonizing questions: Why? Why had he allowed all of this and not prevented it? Inadvertently, two tears broke out of his brown eyes. 'WHY?' it shot through his head. Enrico angrily slapped his pillow and ran into his father's training room. There he read his anger out on a sandbag. Sobbing softly, he sank to his knees. .....

Part 2
<br />
<br />
<br />
A red trail of fire raced toward the fourth planet in the system.The comet slows down about 20 km from its surface. He continued to penetrate the planet's atmosphere. It left a large hole in the cloud cover and tore a deep furrow in the ground. The stone broke in two on impact. The pink energy ball in his tow hit the larger fragment, made a leap, and then lay a few meters from the point of impact.
<br />
All of a sudden, the meteorite pieces crumbled into dust. At the same moment the pink energy ball took on the shape of a human. The light body was on the floor.
<br />
When the light disappeared, it revealed a female body. Life slowly came into the individual limbs. She leaned on her hands, slightly dazed. She rubbed her eyes sleepily and stuck. Every single muscle fiber in her body tightened. “What a nightmare.” She murmured, drowsy, and opened her eyes. Lydia's gaze first fell on a colorful spring meadow.It was day.
<br />
Suddenly she was wide awake. She looked around questioningly. Where was she here?
<br />
Lydia lay under a reddish sky. The meadow lay on a Minplateau. Beyond that stretched a landscape of gently rolling meadows. Giant trees and high overgrown rocks only interrupted the landscape from time to time. On the other side of the plateau a sea could be seen directly. Lydia wafted salty sea air into her nose.
<br />
When she looked down at herself, she found that her clothes looked pretty worn out. Her green blouse was burned and the left sleeve was half torn off. Lydia's long, black pants hung around her waist, totally frayed and crooked; it just reached her knees. The sandals were the best. They were now spiked on the sole, before it was simply smooth.
<br />
Suddenly a raging headache spread. With them, fragmentary memories also surfaced.She remembered the last few minutes with Enriko. In between, Lydia kept seeing demon grimaces distorted by hatred. And that screeching laughter at that. She had the feeling her head was about to burst. It was awful. A deep additional pain in the chest made her sink back to the floor. Pictures of her and Enrico appeared. The last few minutes she had spent with Enrico played repeatedly in her mind's eye. It was just cruel. Only when Lydia hadn't felt her legs anymore did she notice that she was dissolving into light. After that, everything sank into darkness for her.
<br />
She began to cry softly. The pain drained from her a while later. It took Lydia a long time to calm down. Then she pondered how it could have happened at all. It all started with this stupid meteorite. 'The meteorite! Where is that anyway? 'Lydia slowly turned around.There was no trace of it to be found in the hole. Only a fine dust covered the cat. Lydia got up cautiously and went to the crater. She picked up a handful of dust to examine it. They were tiny crystals, the only thing that was left of the shooting star. Disinterested, she let the dust fall again and patted her hands. Lydia carefully began to explore the surrounding area. The way it looked, she was no longer on earth. The red sky was a clear sign of that. The grasses didn't look familiar either.
<br />
Suddenly Lydia heard a scream from the edge of the rock. She ran quickly to the slope and risked a look over the edge. What she saw left her speechless. In the middle of the 10 meter high rock face, a girl clung convulsively. It was maybe 4 or 5 years old and had black wild hair. But what amazed Lydia most was the girl's clothes. It was dressed in a kind of armor, wore white gloves and boots, and wore a skin-tight black suit.Howling softly she was stuck in the rock face. A little boy was standing below. He wore similar clothes and also had wild black hair. He tried to calm her down in a foreign language. Then he started walking. Lydia could hardly believe her eyes. The boy started running at a tremendous pace. After a few minutes it was gone on the horizon. Lydia looked after him for a while before she dealt with the girl again. That was crying softly to itself.
<br />
Lydia slowly withdrew. Somehow she should be able to help. She looked around the small plateau again. Except for her, the impact hole and the meteor dust there was nothing up here. Lydia's bag hadn't come with me on the trip. All she had left were her dirty clothes and her sandals. But they had spikes now! Lydia hurried steadily to the edge of the rock and bent carefully over the edge. A few stones fell down.The girl turned her tearful face up in surprise. "Keep calm. I'll try to help you." called Lydia. Confused, the little girl looked up and was startled when she saw what Lydia was up to. Lydia slowly slid backwards over the edge of the rock. With her feet she sought support in the rough surface of the rock. Again and again she looked after the little one. She gave her fearful looks.
<br />
After half an eternity, it seemed to her, she was sure to get to the girl. She looked around searching. Not a meter away was a seemingly large ledge on which they both fit comfortably. "Climb onto my back. I want to go over there." With a nod of her head, Lydia indicated the ledge. The girl shook her head fearfully. "Come on. You don't have to be afraid either." she smiled at the little one again. It took a little time and good persuasion before the child was ready to be carried over.Lydia positioned herself so that the girl could climb onto her back without any problems. Lydia carefully felt her way forward sideways in the rock face. Once, her left foot slipped. The girl gave a cry of fear. Lydia caught herself again. She noticed how the little one trembled on her back and pulled her arms even closer around her neck.
<br />
Ultimately, they achieved the lead without any further difficulties. The girl dismounted uncertainly. Lydia rubbed her aching ribs. 'The little one has a lot of strength for her age! 'Lydia noticed a lot of sore muscles
