Why Is There An Alien Princess In My Room? (ONC 2023 - Alien Romance - Complete)

1: Vyrsa Steps Through A Portal

Stuffing the valuable key in the fabric crevasse between her boobs—because for some reason, female space suits didn't come with pockets—Vyrsa upped her speed. She jumped between floating rocks, stopping to estimate the distance before each jump. If she slipped now, it would all be over. The enemy would vanquish her father's kingdom and she, the youngest and wildest princess, would be lost forever, falling through endless vast space.

At least her trajectory between floating asteroids and shattering stars would be beautiful. Before she passed out, she would see sights no one else had ever seen, but she would never be able to tell anyone of their allure.

But no, that would not be her fate.

Raising her gaze, she could make out the portal now. It glittered like the thousand stars that were told had gone into its making. No one knew the portal's true origin. It had always just been there, taking whoever walked through it wherever they needed to be, as it seemed to know the innermost wishes of whoever walked up to it.

Vyrsa wanted to go home. It was so long since she saw her home planet of Isola. She longed for the warm embrace of the blue sun and the soothing lizard song in the mornings.

She hadn't even said goodbye to her parents or sisters before she left, determined to hitchhike on a freighter ship to the planet of Coi. Because she knew they wouldn't agree with her plan. They would have told her it was too dangerous. But Vyrsa considered the danger worth it if she could claim the key, finally putting an end to the conflict between their planets.

If only her family could see her now, running triumphantly away from enemy territory without having been spotted once. Once the queen even realized their precious key was gone, Vyrsa would be long gone.

ZAP!

A green laser beam almost struck her left shoulder. Agile as the graceful tigers who danced on the edge of her planet's atmosphere, Vyrsa avoided the threat, changing her trajectory mid-step. Firmly with her feet on floating rocks, she looked down to see a flurry of guards entering the wish chamber.

Perhaps she'd been spotted a little bit. Still, she would be long gone shortly. Their wish wasn't hers and they wouldn't be able to follow. And without the key, their forces should be too weak to make a campaign toward Isola, as the journey took several weeks at lightspeed.

ZAP! ZAAAP!

Vyrsa ducked, both her feet planted beside each other on a narrow rock. Maybe she shouldn't plan for her victory before her escape was a guarantee. First, action, then, celebration.

ZAP! ZAP!

How many guards were down there, firing at her? Luckily, their aim was about what you could expect from Coians: incapable of even hitting the side of a parked spaceship. Still, even asteroids, aimless and without a plan, managed to hit moving planets at times, so she couldn't rule out that one of these idiots would get a lucky shot in.

Spotting a rock that moved rapidly upward, toward the glowing portal that was her goal, Vyrsa wasted no time. Even though she knew that failure would be her doom—as the black space around her would swallow her if she had nothing to hold on to—she threw herself toward it without hesitation.

The slippery texture of the volcanic rock, shaped over millions of years into a smooth surface, almost slid between her fingers. Almost. But not quite. Forming her hands into a nest, she cradled the moving rock in her grip, refusing to let go as it took her on a journey through space. Her feet fluttered free in the air. Luckily, there was no wind in space, so her cape hung snugly around her shoulders.

All around her, there was silence. No zaps. Nothing. Only her wildly pulsing heart. The excitement made her fingernails glow bright green, guiding her journey through darkness.
