In a world where reptilian monsters rule, where do you find your place?
Slixx can be seen scurrying from rock to rock as an angry tyrannosaurus rex, but with fully functional arms and legs tears up the ground behind him, stopping at each rock to search.
In a world where the bigger you are, the more power you have, what do you do when you’re tiny?
Slixx ends running into a chasm, and the face of a cliff, and looks around, but it has become a dead end. The larger Slizzian enters the chasm, and lets out a deep laugh. Slixx starts climbing up the side of the cliff, but it doesn’t look like he’s going to make it high enough without the dinosaur like beast being able to catch him. He looks around, and shoots acid from his mouth at the side of the chasm.
What can you do when you’re just a little lizard?
The acid hits the wall, and burns into it, causing the chasm to start to shake. The larger lizard stops and looks at the wall, his eyes growing wide. A tiny rock falls from the side and hits him in the head. He turns to Slixx and frowns.
”You know, in my defense I really thought that would work.”
The larger Slizzian reaches out and pulls Slixx off the wall, and starts the trudge back to the palace.
”So…just ball parking here…how much trouble do you think I’m in?”
The larger Slizzian just grunts and keeps walking. Eventually they make it to the palace, and enter the throne room where the king, Slizziaur, is sitting, well...if you can call the massive creature that is relaxing in the throne able to sit. He is more dominating the throne. He makes the Slizzian holding Slixx look like Slixx in comparison. If the one holding Slixx is a tyrannosaurus, Slizziaur is a Spinosaurus. He is massive. He looks down at Slixx in the other Slizzian’s hand and starts to laugh.
”Causing trouble again, runt?”The voice that booms out of Slizziaur’s throat is rough, like gravel and sandpaper rubbing up against each other.
”Well…Webster’s dictionary defines trouble as—“
The larger lizard holds up a hand and looks confused.
”What…prey tell…is a Webster’s dictionary?” Despite the rough quality to his voice, Slizziaur still carries a regal air about him.
Slixx looks excited and starts to reach into his bag, but his arms are being bound against him by the massive fist of the Slizzian holding him.
”Oh it’s this wonderful Earth book! It teaches you about words and what they mean!”
The look on Slizziaur’s face could rend flesh from bone. He started turning red, and then took a deep breath. Only a little bit of fire came out of his nostrils.
”Slixx, child of Slix, child of Sliz, child of Slizzia, my cousin by rights, I do not execute you because we come from the same family. But the reason you were brought here today is because of your infatuation with Earth, and the so called Humans that live there. You are to be confined to your quarters. Permanently. Leave now before you incur my wrath.”
Slixx’s face fell, and he looks down at the ground. What could be a worse punishment than being forced to be inside for the rest of your days? It wasn’t problem free. It was a catastrophe. The guard holding Slixx starts walking, bringing Slixx to his quarters. To get there they have to pass the unloading bay, where a ship is unloading its contents, the way that Slizia, their home world, acquires new materials and goods. Slixx looks at the ship and sighs.
If only he could get out of the grip of this guard, he could go and sneak onto that ship and leave to whatever planet that cargo ship is headed to.
He looks closer at the ship.
”Is that…human writing?”
The Slizzian carrying him doesn’t respond, just keeps walking. Slixx tries to formulate a plan to get to the ship when it seems that fate intervenes. The guard carrying him trips over a small box, and falls, letting go of Slixx.
Slixx stands up, and the guard lurches for him. Slixx spits at the guard, hitting him in the face with acid. Unfortunately for Slixx, his acid spit doesn’t work on flesh, but it does give a nice moment to get away. Slixx runs for the spaceship, and turns on his camouflage.
He dives into the spaceship as the doors close, and the spaceship starts to take off. Nobody saw him get in the spaceship! Slixx couldn’t keep the grin off his invisible face. This was going to be a good day. He could feel it. This was the start of a new life for him, the start of a better tomorrow. Soon he would be on Earth.
He fell asleep and the spaceship landed, jostling him awake. He was still camouflaged, so he used that to sneak out of the ship and out to the planet. He was in the middle of a large city, on Earth. His camouflage turned off, and people giving him strange looks. He didn’t care though. This was it. The beginning of destiny.
