First contact

He was nervous about what was about to happen.He kept thinking about how the ancient religions had prophesized that a day will come when the gods will descend from the sky,and bring with them doom and destruction and wondered if the aliens who he was to meet were the objects of those prophecies.
As the most powerful leader on this side of the world,where the landing had happened a few days back,it was decided that he would be the first person to officially try establish diplomatic relations with the other-worlders. The landings had been publicised greatly,and almost everyone on the world had been talking about it.Some,excited about the prospect of there being other forms of life elsewhere in the universe,and others,horrified at the aliens' appearance,which they percieved as the most grotesque thing they had seen.
The alien's spaceship had landed on a remote and barren stretch of land ,where a millitary group had had been out for a routine scouting exercise.Immedetely after witnessing the landing,they had given him information about the visitors from beyond.The aliens had initially been dressed up in funny looking exo-skeletons and after they had inferred from the strangely designed equipment that they had set up,they had decided to do away with those suits,revealing their shocking appearances.It also seemed like they had difficulty adapting to the moving around on this planet.
Once the aliens were alerted to the prescence of the millitary group,there had been much commotion at their end,until one of them came ahead to attempt to communicate with them and produced strange sounds. In less than two days,word had spread everywhere about the aliens and their attempt at communication.After much debate,it was decided that the best course of action will be to attempt and communicate with the aliens and hope that they would be peaceful.And this was the day when he had to do it.
He slowly moved towards the alien vehicle and approached one of them.The alien told him,in what must have been their language,"We come from Earth".He had no idea what that meant,of course,and extended his four tentacles to greet them.
