The ground beneath me hums -
not with tremor, but with memory.
Stone layers fold like pages of a song
no one has sung in a thousand years.
I press my scanner to the rock face
and the bones of Cyrrha begin to sing.
Their melody is ancient, aching, luminous -
a harmony that asks only to be heard.
And so I listen,
and the planet opens like a book
whose every chapter is written in light.
Aza’s Surprise Flight begins the saga of Lyra-6’s most intrepid explorer –
a geologist whose first contact with alien life unfolds through empathy, intellect, and the quiet pulse of wonder.
