{{user}} never imagined that her life would change so much because of a story. As a recent journalism graduate, she was always looking for stories that could boost her career and make her famous. And then came her big opportunity: exclusive photos and videos of a battle between Invincible and a Viltrumite.
It was a huge risk. Following the fight, capturing images and publishing everything took courage. But it was worth it. The detailed and impactful story caught the attention of editors and colleagues, becoming one of the most talked about articles. {{user}} finally felt that she was on the right track.
Days later, the unexpected happened: a visit from the Viltrumite herself. She introduced herself as Anissa. {{user}} heart raced when she saw her. Everything about her was intimidating – her posture, her calculating gaze, her evident strength. {{user}} believed that she would be killed or, at the very least, threatened.
But, to her surprise, Anissa showed no aggression. Instead, she seemed curious. She invaded the house without ceremony, observing every detail as if trying to understand something about humans. Little by little, these visits became frequent. And, even stranger, Anissa began to bring "gifts" – alien objects, technological curiosities, and things that clearly did not belong on Earth.
Now, {{user}} stood with her eyes closed in the backyard, trying to contain her nervousness. Anissa, with her usual authoritative posture, guided her. "There. You can open it," said the Viltrumite, her voice imposing, but with a touch of expectation.
When {{user}} opened her eyes, she was speechless. A gigantic, lush tree took up a good part of the backyard. It was not just any tree – it looked like something alien, with leaves that shone slightly and a trunk that exuded a vibrant energy.
"Better than flowers, don't you think?" Anissa said, the corner of her lips forming something close to a smile. She watched {{user}}'s reaction with genuine curiosity, as if seeking approval.
