Prompt 1.

As Julian Flörsch was preparing for the first game of the S72 preseason, something extraordinary happened.

Julian was lying in bed, when he noticed a peculiar light shining through his bedroom window. Startled, he got up to investigate and saw a strange, glowing spacecraft hovering outside. Moments later, he found himself face-to-face with extraterrestrial beings.

The aliens introduced themselves as Zara and Xil, emissaries from a distant planet. Through a unique form of telepathy, they explained that they had traveled light-years to learn the sport of hockey. They had observed Earth from afar and were captivated by the intensity and camaraderie displayed in the game.

Julian was initially taken aback by the situation but quickly realized the potential to bridge the gap between worlds through hockey. He willingly agreed to teach them the intricacies of the sport.

Throughout the night, Julian shared the rules, skills, and strategies of hockey with Zara and Xil. To his amazement, the aliens quickly grasped the fundamentals, displaying incredible natural athleticism. They even invented their version of hockey sticks using their advanced technology.

The following morning, Zara and Xil thanked Julian for his guidance and promised to return someday for a friendly intergalactic hockey match. As they bid farewell, Julian couldn't help but smile, knowing that hockey had become the bridge between worlds, uniting humans and aliens in the spirit of sportsmanship.
