The Oexans were a peaceful and spiritual race of aliens that lived on the planet Oex, a white and luminous world with no moons. They had golden skin, one wing, and seven eyes that could see in the spectrum of light. They loved to meditate and heal, creating crystals and rituals that could balance their energy and harmony. They revered the stars and the other worlds that they could see in the night sky, considering them as sacred and divine.

One day, they received a healing request from a faraway star system. It was a message of pain and sorrow, sent by another intelligent race that called themselves Sufferers. The Oexans were compassionate and curious by the request. They decided to fulfill the request, expressing their empathy and wisdom.

The Sufferers responded by sending a spaceship to transport the Oexans. The Oexans boarded the spaceship, willing to help and heal. The Sufferers seemed grateful and hopeful, but they also had a hidden disease. They were infected by a parasitic race that called themselves Feeders. The Feeders had invaded their bodies, and were trying to consume or control them. The Feeders said that they had created a false message, a message that lured the Oexans to their trap. They said that they had chosen Oex as a potential host, because it was rich and fertile.

The Oexans did not know, seeing the innocence and suffering of the Sufferers. They said that they would heal them and their spaceship, and that they would provide them with crystals and energy. They also said that they would invite them to Oex, and that they would share their planet and their harmony.

The Sufferers did not care, seeing the naivety and kindness of the Oexans. They said that they would accept their healing and their crystals, but only to use them for their own benefit. They also said that they would follow them to Oex, but only to infect or invade it.

The Sufferers reached Oex, and were welcomed by the Oexans. The Oexans showed them their crystals and rituals, and offered them to join them in their meditation. They said that they had a gift for them, and that they would show them their healing power.

The Sufferers agreed, thinking that they had found easy prey and allies. They joined the Oexans in their meditation, hoping to steal their energy and secrets.

The Oexans had other plans. They had sensed the presence of the Feeders, and they had prepared a countermeasure. They used their crystals to create a powerful wave of light, which could cleanse or destroy the Feeders. They sent a final message to the Sufferers, which was a prayer that revealed their intention.

The message was: “We are the ones who see beyond appearances. We are the ones who feel beyond emotions. We are the ones who heal beyond wounds. We are the ones who have no enemies. What are we?”

The Sufferers received the message, but they did not understand it. They did not have time to answer it or escape it.

The wave of light engulfed them, along with the Feeders.

The Oexans smiled peacefully, as they completed their healing.

They had restored their harmony.
