((I think this goes here))
Day 1 in Terran Journal: The Crash
Crashing suddenly down from the sky. I hit hard, that cursed bounty hunter had damaged my ship too much when I hit hyper speed. The vessel had broken up but I wasn't sure where I was when I landed. The planet name I had not noticed before the crash. My organs were fine but I was leaking a great deal of protein fluid and needed to ingest more. My head hurt and my antenna were painfully bent I was in too much pain to move. I opened his my eyes and stared up at the sky and unfamiliar stars. "Trees?" I thought to myself as I stared at the strange plants " oh god was my translation device working?!" was my second though. I checked it, its smashed and barely function so I couldn't talk or understand anyone. I realize I am stranded here with no way to communicate in a forest with no one around I pondered if is the end of my life?
I suddenly heared someone coming for the words after what seemed like forever. "Where the people here savages like the lizard tribe?" I thought to myself in a panic. A man was standing there in strange clothing. His grey eyes staring into the mine with a look of surprise on his face. The man says somethings but I could not understand him because my device was broken. I backed away frantically but the man smiled at me gently. Smiling? No one had even smiled at me before such things weren't allowed back on my home planet. It was odd how at ease it put me he so I let the man get close and he starts to examine me. The kind man took out bindings and wraps my wounds but the I wouldn't let the man touch my antenna. I am the prince of Terra no one touches that part me after all. The man tried to mime something he seemed to be asking if I wanted food. I nodded quickly because I need protein to live but I can't tell him that. This man he has fangs that show when he smiles but he is embarrassed by them why? It made no sense to me at the time and I could not ask. He leaves and I was scared of being alone though I hate to admit what if others aren't so kind? He comes back with some meat and some odd plants. I didn't want the plants but I took meat. I tried to mime the symbol for heat and the kind man understands and starts a fire so I could cook the odd animal. I inhaled the food forgetting my manners. He watches me looking so worried I could not understand it he doesn't know me why would he care so much. The sun starts to turn the sky orange and he moved to pick me up which startled me. For some reason I trusted him and he carries me deep into a nearby cave. I suddenly notice he carried something with him on his back it appears to be a large coffin. That confused me and he climbed into it and closed the lid giving me a small smile. I assume he needs it to sleep which is foreign concept to me since I do not. Once I felt better I went back out to the remains of my ship while the man slept and worked about fixing my translator I want to speak to him, this man who saved me. He stirs feelings in me, gratitude and this calm feeling of safety I never felt before in my whole life. Tomorrow hopefully I can speak to him I owe him my life I was make a bonding pact with him.

Day 2 in Terran Journal: S.V. the vampire.
I worked all day and finally managed to fix my communication device by the time my savior woke up. I told him who I was and where I was from. His name is S.V. and he laughed and told me he never met an alien before. I very seriously told him I had never really either and he just laughed harder. I was quite offended and bewildered by such free display of emotions. I ask him why he is laughing so much and he seemed confused. I have some to understand by talking with him that emotion is not frowned upon here is it actually encouraged. I do not tell him, my whole life I have secretly dreamed of a place like this. Still too much emotional display seems odd to me. He kept asking if I was ok tending to me even though I really didn't need it anymore. I finally asked him about his fangs and suddenly he seemed so quiet and sad. I actually felt a deep pang of sadness myself I realized I hated seeing him sad like that. He then explained he was what the people here called a vampire how he survived of the blood of the so called humans. It made him more upset to tell me this I asked why. He said it was because he was a monster. For some reason this angered me I almost yelled at him telling him he wasn't a monster. The lizard people they were monsters, cruel and savage. S.V. was kind and gentle so obviously not a monster. It seems like common sense to me but he isn't convinced. I tell him I am bound to him now and will travel with him he of course doesn't understand. I am now sworn to protect this man and honestly for some reason I'm happy to do so. I've already discovered that my chest aches oddly when I see that sad look in his face. Yet my whole body feels lighter when he smiles. His eyes light up when he does that its odd how captivating that seems. We talk more, I tell him about my home but he says very little about himself. He laughs sometimes saying my people are silly which offends me greatly and yet for some reason I finally find myself smiling at him. Laughing and smiling appears to be rather infectious like a disease but not one I mind being effected by. I ask him about the coffin he tells me sunlight make him weak and can kill him. I make the mistake of asking him if he has ever seen the sun and he suddenly becomes very quiet. I decide to never ask that again. He says once I'm better we will travel some more he is telling me he is heading to a city called Merthage. Now that my device is working better I decided to find out everything about this new planet and the creatures that live here. He climbs into his coffin and I use my device to study this place.

Day 15 in the Terran Journal: Dark Secret
I have not entered in my journal for some time for we have been traveling. I have become alarmed due to that fact that it seems S.V. has not actually fed since I met him. I assumed he needed live blood to survive and he appears to be weakening. He apparently has a dwindling supply of the bottled stuff that he explains he purchased from a smuggler some while back. I began to worry about him. Can a vampire truly live without live blood? I will look into this.
We have finally found ourselves a ship and with a large amount of coin they have agreed to smuggle us into Merthage. I'm not sure where S.V. is getting all this money but I chose not to ask. Despite our long journey S.V. still does not talk about himself. He asks me many questions but deflects anything I ask him back on to me. He is a very secretive person despite his friendly demeanor it wasn't until today that I knew why. This crude thing were boarded is some kind of air ship hardly fit for space travel but it suits our needs just fine. I am slightly worried about the constructional soundness of the vessel none the less.
Everything was peaceful until suddenly the ship was under attack. It seemed we were being attacked by pirates. They have such things where I am from as well. S.V. appears to use magic to help defend the ship. It takes odd shapes of cards and birds very much like a children's magic show but as a weapon. He has shown me his magic before but I was unaware it could be used as a weapon. I found myself cornered suddenly the pirates claiming that would take me and sell me as a slave to the highest bidder. I'm shocked by how barbaric they are and suddenly I was hit. The pain was immense they managed to strike my antenna I found myself crying out in agony despite myself. I looked up and suddenly S.V. is there but its not the S.V. I have come to know. Black oozing shadow is pouring out of his body consuming his image. He becomes an oozing mass with hundreds for glaring red eyes. I was afraid, I had never been so afraid before in my life. There is screaming and blood, the crew is terrified, the pirates are being massacred in the most brutal of displays. S.V. suddenly turned his attention to the crew themselves I did the only thing I could do I leaped in front of them to tell S.V. we needed them and to please stop. For the fist time in my life my protein fluid starts to leak from my eyes. I'm what they say here crying. I just want him to stop, to go back to the S.V. I knew, to go back to being my..friend. He take pause and those eyes become full of so much pain and suddenly its over and he shifts back. He passed out then obviously exhausted from the transformation. I quickly took him below deck the crew wanted to kill him but we were almost at our destination so I convinced them not to. They told me a monster like him deserves to be in Merthage. I had never felt so angry despite all the evidence I struck the man and I told him " His NOT a monster." No, even now I can't believe that. Those eyes full of pain they way he looked at me I know he is not a monster. I swear by my oath I will stand by him and protect him from the people that do not understand. I know now why he refuses to talk about his past, I know his dark secret, and I know why he hates himself. I will make sure he never hurts anyone again to protect him from himself and the guilt that is destroying him.
