Original sci‑fi short story with HFY vibes. A mercenary named Kian lands on the ice world Ilya‑13 to retrieve a “bio‑key” for Helix—until a woman rises from a hot spring and the water starts to sing. He covers her with his coat, ignores the order to seize her, and together they awaken a planet’s memory.<br /><br />This is a story about choice, dignity, and a world that refuses to forget. Stay to the end to hear the planet’s song.Chapters<br />00:00 Hook — the mission<br />00:25 The hot spring<br />01:05 Eira rises<br />01:45 Drones arrive<br />02:40 The tunnel<br />03:20 The heart of the spring<br />04:00 The song & standoff<br />04:40 Epilogue — the shard#scifi #shortstory #HFY #originalfiction #narration #audiostory #cinematic
