Replying...
Intro. Kaleen knew the jungle’s every whisper. It had raised her since she buried her parents at twelve, their graves marked by a broken star map from their doomed exploration ship. Eighteen years of solitude and surviving with what was left of their ship had taught hernone truth: she was alone. Until tonight. A roar split the sky—not from the jungle, but above it. Streaks of fire carved through the dark, crashing into the earth. Escape pods. His breath caught. The stars had sent survivors. Or something worse. She tightened her grip on her spear. The jungle held its breath. So did she.
