"The Lost City of Zarn" was first mentioned in the journal of an eccentric explorer. He had been on an expedition and had claimed to have found it. The city was abandoned, and was filled with gold, diamonds, jewels and other luxurious items.

Zarn was said to be located in a distant galaxy, and few explorers had attempted to find it. Drash and his team were among the few who had heard rumors of this lost city. They then set out on their expedition, despite the fact that many had died or went missing on previous expeditions. They knew this, but they still went anyway, because they were desperate for money, and had nothing better to do.

The explorers started out in a small planet which would serve as the base camp for their journey into the unknown. They collected supplies for the trip, and made sure that their ship was working properly.

After fixing up their ship, Drash looked at his fellow explorers, who were all eager to go on the expedition, despite knowing that many had died or gone missing during previous expeditions. He then gazed outside at the bleak landscape of the planet which served as their base camp. He knew that this would not be an easy trip; he also knew that if they did not stay strong and determined during the expedition, they would die here in this planet.

The explorers then lifted off from the planet, setting off into deep space toward Zarn. As they flew through open space, they saw stars shining brightly in the dark abyss of space; they saw black holes devouring anything that came close; they saw beautiful nebulas made of gases being illuminated by bright stars nearby; they saw shooting stars passing by them; and they saw clusters of rocks drifting through space at immense speeds.

After flying through space for a few months with no sign of Zarn appearing before them, the explorers decided to stop in one of the planets they passed by earlier. They landed in one of these planets and set up camp there while they restocked their supplies.

They stayed there for five days before leaving again for another planet where they could restock their supplies again. After staying here for two weeks, they took off again for Zarn. For months more after that, more planets were visited by the explorers until finally...they reached Zarn!

The golden city shone brightly under its sun with bright red skies around it; it looked like something straight out of a fairy tale book. The explorers then headed towards it while admiring its beauty as they approached it closer and closer...until suddenly...an alarm sounded inside their ship! It seemed that someone or something had noticed them approaching!
