Planet Name: Cryon IX
Galaxy: Obscura Nexus
Stellar System: Proxima Borealis
The icy monolith rises from the frost-bitten plain like a cathedral to the void. Its jagged spires pierce the dim cyan sky, refracting the faint glimmer of a dying star into cold, spectral hues. The air is sharp and brittle, carrying a stillness that feels both heavy and sacred. This place—Cryon IX—is as beautiful as it is unforgiving.
Gravity here feels oddly familiar, almost identical to Earth's, but the terrain challenges every step. Beneath a thin layer of powdered frost lies solid ice—ancient and unyielding, glinting like fractured glass. My boots crunch against the surface, leaving only faint imprints, swallowed quickly by drifting mist.
The temperature registers as plunging far below anything survivable without an exosuit. Strange cracks in the ice release occasional exhalations of vapor, their faint hisses reminding me of the hiss of an old ship's hydraulics—a reminder of the fragility of my presence here.
Earlier, my equipment malfunctioned as I approached the monolith. It could be the electromagnetic anomalies native to this region or the relentless cold seeping into the circuits. Regardless, the climb to investigate further will have to wait. For now, I observe from below, marveling at the smooth obsidian streaks marking the ice, as if molten rock froze mid-flow—an impossible sight that fuels my growing sense of curiosity.
The thought crosses my mind that I am utterly alone here. No footprints but my own disturb this untouched planet. My ship rests on the edge of a distant glacier, barely visible through the haze. Somewhere deep inside, I feel the echo of ancient words: “To venture into the unknown is to see the face of creation." Standing here, surrounded by silent desolation, I feel a kinship with the cosmos—a humble observer of something far greater.
I will attempt to return tomorrow, hoping the monolith might share its secrets. For now, I remain still, listening to the universe's soft whispers carried in the winds of Cryon IX.
