Ristar gently descended to the thriving, grassy surface of Planet Flora, surrounded by sights and sounds that felt like a warm embrace. It was weird to think that he was back here after defeating Greedy, the notorious space pirate who had a stranglehold on so many planets. Now, the air was buzzing with the cheerful sounds of the local wildlife, a clear sign that peace had been restored.

He stretched his arms with a content sigh, taking in the majestic flowers that towered over him and the dense vines that crisscrossed the landscape, creating organic walkways. There was something extra special about this place now—everything seemed to be bursting with more color and energy than he recalled.

As he strolled through the jungle, his eyes danced from the vast, looming petals to the playful critters darting about. It was like they were putting on a show just for him, and it brought a smile to his face.

The Flora natives couldn't help but gawk at him from their hiding spots in the foliage. They whispered among themselves and pointed as if they couldn't believe their eyes—their hero had come back! Ristar waved casually, feeling a bit shy amidst all the attention.

"Hi there, folks!" he says. "Just thought I'd swing by and see how things are holding up."

A tiny creature emerged from behind a bloom. "You're staying for a while, Ristar?"

Ristar considered the question. "I might stick around for a bit," he said with a nonchalant shrug. "It's pretty great to see everything looking so normal again."
