A trip to the human world.

In the alien world, everyone is trained for combat even though we have other professions or skills we have mastered. I have always taken my training seriously and being able to learn the human language made me one of the special ones in my world.

Our world is always on alert for attacks because humans are digging deeper in search of the alien world and they will try wiping us out since we are seen as threats.

I woke up one morning and an airship was waiting outside my house. I didn't think twice before grabbing my bow thinking we were under attack but seeing the city looking calm after I stepped out got me confused.

I approached the ship and it turned out to be the rulers of our world. It was very unusual to see them on the streets and I quickly fell to my knees.

"My Lord, you could have just sent for me", I said with my head bowed.

"Rise George, our world needs you and I couldn't wait for them to fetch you. Come in, we have a mission for you", one of them replied.

I got into the ship and he said, "we the leaders of our world have decided to send someone to investigate the human race, we don't know what they are doing or planning and we need to have some knowledge about them for future sake".

One of the men on the ship gave me a suit to put on and I did. It was a technical suit that gave me the
look of a human after I wore it.

He continued, "We have chosen you because you are a great warrior and you possess something no one does, I believe you can do this, and don't worry about your family, they are in safe hands".

I bowed again and accepted the task bestowed on me.

It was a tough mission but I will do anything to give my world an edge over humans.

I landed late in the evening in a small community and while walking around naked, I was offered clothes. A family offered me shelter and food for the night after hearing that I was attacked and robbed of all my possession, I felt like my world have always had a bad impression of humans.

In the morning, they gave me money so I can continue with my journey and I left there even though I had nowhere to go. I wandered the human world and it took me 10 years to return to my world.

I had to endure a lot of things in the human world and there are times I wish I could reveal myself just to help people seek justice but that would come at the detriment of my world. In ten years, I experienced wars and several cases of injustice, and surprisingly there were kind-hearted people, people who loved genuinely and I would have brought them to my world if I had my way.

On my arrival back to my world, I was received with honor for carrying out such a tough task. Reuniting with my family was the most exciting thing for me and after settling down, I was summoned by the leaders to do a briefing.

I was applauded for embarking on such a risky journey and I was called out to share my observation with the leaders.

I took the podium and appreciated everyone first taking care of my family as promised.

I started my briefing by saying, "humans are amazing creatures" and I started hearing murmurs from the audience.

One of them came to me and asked, "how can we trust you, it seems you have stayed too long there and grown feelings for humans".

I smiled before replying, "I didn't go there for my sake and if the leaders don't trust me, they can as well send someone else".

He left the podium and I continued...

Humans are wonderful, caring, passionate, and beautiful. Not everyone in the human world is bad, there are lots of good people among them. Our world is no different from theirs and we might be heading in their direction if we don't put an end to some things in our world.

As beautiful as the human world is, they have lots of imperfection that is tearing them apart.*

• The first is the obsession with power and it is ruining their world. Humans are obsessed with power and they will do anything to gain it.
  They strive to get power and people with common goals with support each other to attain power only for them to get that power and turn back on those who supported them.
  This same issue has led to bloodshed, war, betrayal cases, and others. They can't control power and they end up abusing it. Until they fix that greed for power, it would be hard for them to be at peace or unity with each other.

• Corruption is another thing that has eaten deep into the human race, they practice this both at the higher and lower level. The masses keep complaining about corrupt leaders whereas they are corrupt as well and if they are given the chance they will do even more.

• After touring the human world, I saw a lot of things that made me sad. They are investing a lot in creating nuclear and atomic mass destructive weapons when people are starving, their health care system isn't enough, children are out of school and poverty is eating them deeply. I wonder why they can't channel those resources into what they are really lacking, it looks like they have misplaced priorities.

I thanked everyone once again and alighted from the podium.
