Description
I stared in awe at the creature that stood before me. I would have never have thought that when we first descended upon Artemis, that we weren't the first. I knelt before it, and looked at the strange flower-like gift it handed to me. A symbol of it's sapience, and perhaps it's welcome. We both stood frozen, perhaps uncertain, of how to represent our species'. I finally gathered the courage to reach out my hand, the human symbol for welcome, and take the gift, accepting it's welcome.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

It was massive and slender, unlike anything I had ever seen on this planet. It's body covered in strange materials, and it's head shaped like a massive dome, which housed an utterly alien face. I observed it's extra pair of limbs; a feature not shared on any creature known on our planet. It was then that I realized this being was otherworldly, and the same thunder and fire that came from the heavens brought it here. Our species had dealt with first contacts before, but only amongst ourselves, never something so different. It simply stood there, frozen, and that was when I made the first attempts at communication. With my tendril, I nervously handed it a gift, a symbol of welcome in my culture. To my relief, it accepted the gift, before striding off into the forest, perhaps to others of it's kind.

Woo. Sorry if the background looks a little rough, I've been working on this piece forever, so when I finally got the time to finish it, I kind of rushed on the background. I also apologize for the size; it was the only way to have the image in high quality.

EDIT: I fixed the size issue.
