Planet Ceraes

Planet Cerees was the furthest planet in the Galaxy. The closest planet to Cerees was Xenon , and it was still a million miles away from it. The sun was barely visibly in Cerees, so they were mostly covered in Darkness. The sunlight barely lasted for about an hour or so. This was the only time for hunting. You need to track down an animal , hunt it and take it back to your home in an hour or so. Hence it was possible for a civilization to exist unless it was technologically advanced. So a Civilization to survive from the ground up was certainly impossible. Only a technologically advanced civilization that landed upon the planet out from elsewhere had a chance at survival. "There existed the lineage of Viktor" simply because they had the means to travel faster than a man on foot. They also had other machineries that helped them stay on this planet for a very long time. "Axel loaded his guns on the mobile". Let us make a move, said Axel to Villy who was taking her time to load her guns on to the mobile. Take it easy Axel, said Willie. " We still have a minute or so, until the sun comes out she said as she took a look at her stopwatch. Axel got his bike and was ready to leave. Mykrin got himself on a jeep and he switched on the lights of the jeep to signal that he was ready. The mobiles levitated and they never touched the ground. While the jeep had tires that could tread on ice. The tires were made particularly for the purpose of traveling on ice. It had to be, as the whole planet was covered on ice. The Planet was so cold that you would freeze if in a second if you went outside your shelter without a sweater on. They all thick sweaters on, made of Polar's skin. The polar's were bear like creatures with tusks on their head. Huge animals , half the size of the mammoth with tusks as big. They could easily stand on two feet and run for a hundred meters. The Polatr's were one of the toughest creatures to hunt and posed the greatest threat to hunters in any part of the galaxy. They could swim in the coldest oceans and stay underwater for hours. They were not the best f creatures to hunt for any civilization, but the amount of meat they offered was always a tempting affair.

"Axel's father had died by the claws of the polar. It was a very long time ago. Axel was only a kid then. Villy was a toddler, who was still in her mother's arms" The early memory of his feathers death had made Axel wary of these creatures and also a burning desire was born inside him and kill these Polar's. Axel's father was the child of the great grand children of Viktor. And every generation had perfected the art of survival in this harsh planet. The beginnings of their families survival in Cerees was said to be very hard, and many people had died under its wrath. Cerees did not show mercy to any. Certainly not to any outsiders, its main objective was to slain. Even the great Viktor had succumbed to the mighty colds of the Cerees. His Feet were first mutilated from the cold and then the rest of the body went through the same. He withered away in pain until his brain was completely frozen. His family did not even have time to mourn his death as the food ran during his demise. The brothers of Viktor and his kin immediately ventured outside to hunt in the cold weather. Their main reason for the family to survive was " Tuskan the diver " Tuskan the diver was blessed with underwater skills. He could stay underwater for more than an hour in the freezing cold. He developed fish like attributes and grew gills and fins. It was said during the times of Tuskan, the Marakese of Ceraes had completely ignored the Polar's and hunted only the fish in the rivers and oceans of this hostile planet. " Tuskan went on to live for over a 150 years" This gave an opportunity for the Maraes, as they were gone on to call, the time to develop their hunting skills and develop machines and create a large home for them to live in.

The company went out of their garage , in to the bouldering snow mountains they were surrounded by. " For Tuskan ' they shouted as it was customary as they believed Tuskan watched over them. Hunting the polar's was a tricky proposition as they were intelligent creatures too and mainly roamed around the summits of every peak. They only came down when they hunt in the seas. And they never had to hunt very often as they stored their fat in their bellies for heat and consumed it slowly. Axel and Willy ran ahead with Mykrin following them closely. There were lightning strikes and thunderstorms everywhere, as it was the norm. Lightning struck hard on a mountain summit. "There, said Axel pointing at the summit to Willie" they both raced ahead to the summit and put the lights on dim. As they reached the summit, they switched the lights of on their mobiles completely. They heard the snarls and growls of the polar's from a distance. Myrkin had switched his jeep off to and hid behind the corner bend. Willie and Axel got down from their mobiles and went in stealthily marching towards their meat with their guns fully loaded.

Willy saw her Stopclock. It read 00.00, she looked up to see the sun light slowly entering. Just in time as the frost bites almost crept her toes!
