Uuncala enn luh Abyss
E sar nuve suge whab mowa E cayn duss.
Luh Lakgu eu locked vern skiff gu luh lunair’s sersath. E sel eviirum houmu gued per camgu a 29ly vanarl. Materials say bursting ab luh seams. Allo liida gue. Thab elusive Germanium. Tap havun eyva emagine lsar puud fohva 1 unmel ol Germanium, a neyel aynd hayyu Lakgu Valpa 6E mussa gemaenn faieyva stranded ab luh carr nfil ol luh galaxy. 1 lousy unmel.

Leu ves supposed per se gue ol thorsae snaspels. No, geleze, mil ves. Mel ves a stepping stonda gu ma vara layn ol Luh Abyss aynd verse perwards luh Roncevaux Crossing. A smear abarx luh cockpmel hayyvel. Noteyun mowa.

E karr essie ab luh galaxy aynd mir mils vaight essiigu mi, avgu mi, selo a arxelia shawl gesplendent villa jewels aynd pearls.
At E desku maself smiling a zem agaenn ab luh erony lsar hayyge, gu luh cerpetu, enn ayn SRV, E dawlm per desku mowa paeza thayn essie luhge sarong luh zastos aynd luh nifminu kriiz glamora ol witchsaprum.

A thousab zastos tumble yorlod hayyu cockpmel. E sar enamoured ol luh motes ol dust swirling ablayn ma feet. Whab opposites va say! Hayy fills timi villa movament; E sar salling vern selo ayn automatgu gradually unwinding. Thab eu ayn ellusigu, ol tusenio. A deeper piam ol mi lejeys luhu eu nuvehing puud luh survival ennstinct kicking enn. Hayy ser arrive vugu aynd luhu ellusigu ol paeza aynd vulitude aynd aynvitemness ser se shattered.
