Chapter 1

I was lost, lost in space. My home planet of Catspian (pronounced Cat-spy-in) was far behind me. In fact, my galaxy was far behind me. Coldness... all I could feel was the emptiness of space. But I must go on, I must survive. I can't die in vain. If I do, everyone will. But I don't think I have the strength. Suddenly, a new galaxy zooms into view. A spiral galaxy. I hardly had time to admire before I was brought in closer. A burning yellow star was all I could see. Then I saw a rocky, empty world. I floated forward some more and saw an orange planet. It looked like it was made of lava. I knew I would never survive on that planet. Soon, I saw a moon. It looked like it was made of stone. I saw many craters scattered on its surface. Then, something new approached. It was a planet covered with green and blue! Weird. I also noticed white swirls. This planet looked like one of my favourite marbles! I was too close. This marble-looking planet sucked me in with its gravity. Before I could try and escape, I felt myself burning, the burning up of entering an atmosphere. I felt hot as lava. I didn't know if I would make it. The heat was so intense. Soon, I felt my eyelids close. What would happen next? Then, I hit solid ground, I knew I was alive.
