In a bleak alien landscape, two creatures raised from birth to be each other's enemies decide to think instead. One seeks Botaram, a place of high ideals and austere beauty; the other seeks to protect Botaram from being defiled by creatures like the first. An uneasy truce is formed amid heartbreak and broken ties, and through the ashes of their world they search for a truth that may no longer exist, abandoning friends, honor, and perhaps their lives… or worse.

One thought on “Something Was Killed”
Hamachisn't
Dambed (sic) if you do, dambed if you don't. If the "station", as you call it is defending them against whatever foe, they should probably stay near it while foe remains. But if they go back inside, there are still those plants that nearly killed them recently.
We don't yet know much about the plants. Do they have any intelligence? Is it possible that the fumes that nearly killed the two have marked them somehow for other plants of the same type to identify them as foes? If that's the case, then others of that plant may shoot fumes out without having been injured.
Why does Chax think the station was protecting Aun alone from the foe? Was not Chax in equal danger?
