A Hero That Stole 14 Broken Hearts

Chapter 3: Sang's Survival

Raya also looked for Kal-El's ship or signs of him coming towards the planet each time she went out. It wasn't until a lorax (month) gone by Raya stopped looking. It was not until I was 5 amzeto pass birth the search parties stopped, and we didn't have to run anymore. She found a safe place to build the fortress on top of the mountain. She accessed the memory crystal from my spaceship then placed it into the control panel inside the fortress. She learned what happened to me and to my brother Kal-El.

The creature Orycotombatid. It's a mixture between as the earth animals called a jack rabbit and a wombat. The creature has a head like a wombat with a squatty nose and mouth. The ears are long as a jack rabbit. The creature is round and big in the middle. The fur is soft and smooth at the back half and the top short fur and little ruff. The animal's feet are long and slender in the back and thick and stubby and short in the front. It eats around the bottom of the mountain. The meats tough but good. Thanks to Raya and my father's program I learned how to have survival techniques. I make traps for the creature and use the skin for clothes. There's not much food sources on the Phantom Zone. Most of the animals or planets are either poisonous or will eat you.

I grab a few clothes and my communication device to place them at my bed. I walk over to another side of the fortress where I keep my food supply. I have my provisions inside the basket I used to gather everything from outside. I made the basket from the plants that aren't poisonous like the Jue-Jue trees. They are so high up nothing can reach the top. They are gigantic with leaves as big as me. I had learned to climb to hide from predators moving around hunting. Most of the animals don't know how to climb. I learned from my fathers' program how kids climb trees on Earth. I used it to climb a Jue-Jue tree. The trick is to avoid the prickly needles around the base. It senses body heat and the needles move towards the heat.

The branches move almost like they are alive. Unless you have hands there's no way to climb a Jue-Jue tree. You must grab a branch that comes close enough to the ground then hold on until it takes you higher. Once you get close to another branch swing towards it. It's very hard and you must keep swinging branches until you reach the tree itself. But once you reach to the actual tree part; The branches all move to shield you by coming lower. It's like its alive. The Jue-Jue tree knows nothing can climb it. But if you make it then it feels a connection with you and thinks you're part of the tree itself. It lowers its inner branches around you and circles around engulfing you with its leaves. The outer branches keep moving in all directions. I seek shelter sometimes When a predator I can hear is close by.

The basket is made from the leaves that have fallen from a Jue-Jue tree. Toughest vines in all the trees here. I look inside and see that I am low on food. I take out the remaining food and place it to the side on the floor; then hurried to change clothes. Next, I walk over to place my communication device in place to send out my distress signal for Kal-El to find me. I walk over to grab my bag that's made from Orycotombatid skin and vines and the basket that I made. I move out quietly from the entrance.

I looked everywhere around me for predators and danger. I remember yesterday I had to go retrieve some water from one of the streams further past the base of the mountain. Its like 2 miles from the mountain base. Two Zoners were searching for food close by. They saw me and tried to attack me. I ran as fast as I could. I tried searching for a Jue-Jue tree but I didn't see any. They probably would have seen me anyway. I saw a Wabaju tree ahead of me. I looked behind me and didn't see the Zoners.

I ran faster to the Wabaju tree to hide. This tree has a tiny hole that is slimy and filled with a mucus sap from the tree itself. The stench is putrid worst than animal droppings. I was tiny enough to slide into the hole and watch the outside. The smell from the tree helped me cover my scent where the Zoners couldn't track me. I waited and watched for the Zoners to approach. The slimy mucus covered every inch of me going into places that's horrible beyond thought. I remained still the entire time. The Zoners could be heard close to the base of the tree. The voices are muffled and can't be made out. They ended up leaving back to where they came after 20 dendaro.

I slide out of the Wabaju tree and ran the rest of the way home. I I used the Jue-Jue leaves I had stored to clean the slimy mucus off me. I must be careful of being spotted. Zoners spotted me 5 amzeto ago when I was 11 amzeto pass birth. I went further down the mountain and Raya went mostly around the fortress for us both to gather food. A Zoner seen me. I was able to disappear in a Jue-Jue tree. I ran back to the fortress and told Raya. I couldn't go down the mountain anymore. Raya mostly went down where I stayed close by to the fortress.

One zetyar Raya went to gather more provisions and never came home. I know they captured her. It's been 7 loraxo since she's been here. They have been searching for me. I'm hoping Raya's alive. She made me promise her if she's ever captured to not come looking for her ever and to keep calling put for my brother Kal-El every zetyaro. We've been sending a signal every zetyaro since I've been 7 amzeto pass birth. Waiting for a rescue.

I walked quietly and quickly through the forest at the base of the mountain to where my traps are. I'm avoiding everything that can make noise. There is an Orycotombatid in my trap. I go to grab it and place into my bag. I tie the bag tight for the Orycotombatid to not escape. I look around for a familiar plant. I see it further up from me. I go towards the bush. It's a Rambutan bush and start picking the fruit. Its red and prickly looking. It has green fibers coming out of the outer skin. I must use a crystal to break it open. The outer skin is tough. The inner layer is smooth and gummy like. Its squishy and has a small hole covered at the top. Once squeezed juices pop out with a sweet watery taste. I finish picking the Rambutan and just as I am turn around to go back to my fortress, I step on some branches fallen. I stop and listen to make sure nobody heard me.

After few dendaro passed by, I didn't hear anything. I start heading back to my fortress a lot faster than I was before. Just as I get inside my fortress a sound is coming from the crystal mirror. I suddenly hear a voice "Sang-El are you there? This is your brother Kal-El. Speak to me sis." I'm frozen in place and could hardly breath. Am I dreaming is this really happening? Has Kal-El finally found me. I rush towards the crystal mirror and place my hand onto the mirror to speak. "Kal-El is that you. This is Sang-El. Praise Krypton I am saved. Thank you big brother for finding me." I couldn't help but cry for finally being saved.

I saw another author do this and I asked if I could borrow the idea.
