Chapter 3, Part 1, Planet of the starlin

Lonely hadn't realized that when Eos had said "They were almost there," she meant they were two minutes away from his doom. When they landed, he was put in handcuffs and brought to the king, whose name was Arun, to be sentenced to his death. 

"Now. Eos said you pulled her starship off course. What do you have to say about this?" King Arun boomed to his court from his throne, which was solid gold and hovered above the floor of the palace. 

"Your majesty, I didn't know that shooting stars were alien ships! If I did, I would have left it alone and gone back to my book." Lonely tried to explain, but he could see the king wouldn't take his explanation seriously. 

"So you're saying that you almost killed my head junior officer by accident? This is unacceptable." The king raised his voice, but the floor shook and a darkness crept over the large room. There were screams from outside. The doors burst open, and green rocks shot up from the ground. One after another, right towards the king. 

A guard standing near Lonely shouted and ran. Running faster than Lonely could believe a normal person could run and he jumped in front of the king before the spear-like rocks could pierce the king's chest. The rocks stopped, so did the breath of the fallen soldier, who was held up and bent over a green and black rock that now jutted out of his back. 

Eos ran forward, "My king, are you alright?". 

"Yes...thanks to Captain Apollo. He will be remembered. There will be a royal funeral in his honor. As for you, wisher. I have your sentence. You will go on a quest of sorts, and you will defeat our foe, with the help of our new captain, Eos."

"What!?" She exclaimed, stepping back, "But, sir, I'm just a junior officer, surely one of the-"

"Silence. I've already decided. You and the human will go to the surrounding planets and find the portal to Foe's fortress to end his reign of terror, by any means necessary, and you will leave immediately."
