There's invisible world

Mercurians feed on sunlight. They catch sun rays and wind them onto little sticks, creating something like “sunlight cotton.” Each Mercurian has their own preference — morning light, evening light, reflected light, soft or intense rays.

Mercurians emerge from small Mercurian pebbles. Adult Mercurians place these pebbles near their heads and breathe on them while they sleep. Then the pebble is taken to the surface of Mercury, where it heats up, cracks open, and by evening a new Mercurian is born.

After a long and eventful life, a Mercurian chooses a new crater. They lie down at its center and fall asleep forever — becoming a Sleeper. Their dream then transforms into a new world. This is how Mercurians continue their existence.

Mercurians communicate through thoughts. They don’t produce sounds, but we’ve created a special device that translates their thoughts into words, allowing us to understand them.

Using our translation device and long-term observation, we’ve mapped some of the Mercurian craters. We’ve also installed special beacons that let us observe their worlds in real time. There are still very few of them — but the number is growing.

One Mercurian dragon once dreamed of a world with oceans, forests, mountains, and a blue sky. We don’t know whether this world was imagined — or if the dream opened a path to our Earth. But Mercurians loved it so much that they have been coming here for thousands of years. This is why ancient legends of dragons, unicorns, and griffins may not be myths at all.

Mercurians are not used to life on Earth. They are curious but often confused, and sometimes afraid. They need humans to help them understand this world. That’s why they love traveling with people.

Mercurians are sensitive to direct sunlight — it drains them instead of energizing them. They also don’t like water very much, as their home has almost none. They understand that humans wash, but prefer to do it only when necessary.

Mercurians are incredibly creative. They love decorating their homes — small burrows, nests, and cozy spaces — turning every place they live into something unique.
