Planet of the Daughters

The starship Perseus, piercing the dense layers of the atmosphere, made an emergency landing on an unknown planet covered with thick emerald forests. The crew, consisting of five male explorers, miraculously survived. Emerging from the mangled machine, they cautiously surveyed the unfamiliar world. The silence, broken only by the singing of unseen birds, seemed ominous to them.

Suddenly, a tall woman with a spear in her hand emerged from the forest thicket. Others appeared behind her – slender, lithe, with long hair braided into plaits. Their faces expressed curiosity, but not fear.

The captain of the Perseus, Alex, indicated with signs that they came in peace. The women, surrounding the newcomers, looked at them with interest, conversing in a melodic language incomprehensible to the earthlings. One of them, apparently the elder, gestured for the men to follow her.

In the village, built of wood and stone, the aliens were met with cautious hospitality. They were offered food – strange-tasting but edible fruits and roots. With the help of gestures and drawings in the sand, a complex process of communication began.

The earthlings learned that this world was inhabited exclusively by women. They gave birth to children without the participation of men, and only girls were ever born. Men were something from the realm of myths and legends to them.

But the most amazing discovery awaited them ahead. It turned out that the sex of the unborn child could change if a woman entered into an intimate relationship with a man. This secret, kept for centuries, was associated with an ancient prophecy about the arrival of "heavenly people" who would change their world.

The appearance of men caused a real commotion. Many women were afraid of strangers, others were burning with curiosity. The elder called for prudence, recalling the prophecy.

Alex and his comrades faced a difficult choice. They understood that their presence could forever change the way of life of this world. But they also felt responsible for the fate of the planet and its inhabitants.

The first to decide was the young biologist David. He fell in love with a young huntress named Leah, and she reciprocated his feelings. Their union became a symbol of a new stage in the history of the planet. A few months later, Leah gave birth to the first boy on this planet.

News of this event spread throughout the world. The women realized that the prophecy had come true. A new era began – an era of equality and harmony, where men and women together built their future. And the Perseus, repaired with the help of local technologies, became a symbol of the connection between the two worlds.
