The Secret Planet
Several light years away, tucked away in a suburb of the universe, a hidden tiny blue planet named Gliese was thriving with diverse flora and fauna yet unscathed by any form of human intervention. The planet was a closely guarded secret of the intergalactic council of wise old beings, who had decided to keep Gliese and its wonders hidden from Humans of Earth until they showed maturity towards nature's conservation and sustainable growth. However, everything changed when an adventurous lad from Earth landed on Gliese, not by a spaceship but by a magical interstellar telescope.
The name of this brave boy was Noah, a quiet yet inquisitive 10-year-old from a small town in Nebraska. Noah's curiosity was insatiable and his perception about the universe was fueled by books and cartoons. One day, his grandfather, an eccentric scientist, gifted him an 'interstellar telescope.' A contraption, unlike the ordinary, it had the power to teleport you to celestial bodies that you could see through its lens.
Noah was thrilled with the gift. His first endeavours took him to the moon, Mars, and other local celestial bodies. But one day, he unwittingly dialed some random coordinates, focusing his telescope at a holographic star map and found himself in front of an exquisite blue planet - Gliese.
Gliese was beautiful beyond comparison, an untouched utopia with sprawling meadows, colorful forests, and sparkling rivers. But Gliese's most wondrous sight was its inhabitants, cute little furry white creatures named Gliesians, with bright purple eyes and bioluminescent bodies.
Noah was astonished by Gliese's beauty and the heartwarming creatures. A bond started forming, and he found himself travelling to Gliese more often. Although unable to communicate verbally with the Gliesians, Noah discovered a novel way of interaction - emotions. The Gliesians, he learned, could exchange feelings, memories, and statements through empathetic connections.
All was well until one day, Gliese was noticed by an interstellar mining corporation from Earth, who discovered coordinates on a forgotten map. Their greedy eyes saw nothing but opportunity to exploit Gliese's rich and plentiful resources.
The quiet planet now buzzed with the clanking machinery and metal monsters. The mining corporation began ravaging Gliese's surface. The peaceful inhabitants of Gliese were terrified and helpless before the invaders.
Knowing the devastation it was leading to, Noah decided to stop the miners. Yet, an average Earth boy readily dismissed any attempts to stand in the way of this interstellar corporation. Defeated, he returned to Gliese and shared his experiences with Gliesians, who felt his despair and determination. United in their wish to protect their home, they decided to stand strong.
Hashing a quick plan, every Gliesian joined their empathetic connections and shared their pure emotions with the miners. They showed the humans the beauty of their planet, the harmony between the Gliesians, and what their home meant to them. Suddenly, the miners started feeling their emotions. They saw the raw beauty of Gliese not as a mine of resources, but a living, vibrant celestial body teeming with life and love.
The profound emotional connection with Gliese and its inhabitants brought the miners to their senses. Noah's effort in defending the planet was celebrated, and word reached the intergalactic council of wise old beings. They decided it was time to reveal Gliese to the world, giving the humans a chance to appreciate another form of sentient life.
The brave Noah, a simple boy from a small town, taught humans and the intergalactic council a valuable lesson: Every life matters, whether on Earth or light years away, on a tiny unknown planet. Love, empathy and understanding bind us all, irrespective of galaxies and dimensions separating us.
