Tw: Mild mental struggles (not in any detail) “Etho Slab. You are hereby exiled, on account of plotting against the throne.” A strong voice rang out across the room. “Cleo- Please-” a quieter voice started, but was cut off. “That is Queen Cleo, to you.” The Queen hissed. “I never did anything- Please he’s lying!” Etho pleaded from where he was kneeling on the floor. “My judgement is final. Guards. Take him away and set a course for some far off planet,” they said, waving her hand as two guards walked to the cowering man on the floor. Cleo turned away from the scene as he was dragged away. Etho was thrown into some kind of ship, a pre-set course that couldn’t be altered no matter how much he clawed at the wires or the systems. The ship was dark, and the best he could do to sleep was curl up on the cold floor and sob. His arms wrapped around himself and his antennas curled up, glowing slightly, the only dim light other than the screen of the ship. He hadn’t done anything. He swears he hadn’t. Everyone he knew was there, why would he risk that. Why would he risk them. He didn’t understand. He looked up at the screen and took an angry swipe at the hologram screen, screeching. But his hand just phased straight through and he curled up again. After some time, his body gave in to the exhaustion, and he, for once, fell asleep. After about a week of this same cycle, Etho was woken to a crash, on some unfamiliar planet. And after some hesitation, he left the safety of the ship. And of everything he knew.
