The story follows a couple on a honeymoon to a mysterious planet, where their love transforms into a haunting survival challenge, as they face the eerie echoes of a planet's dark past.

In the year 2147, humanity had finally mastered space travel, and the galaxy was a treasure trove of unexplored worlds. The planet Xylara was one such destination, a shimmering blue jewel floating in the vast expanse of space. It was here that the honeymoon of Alex and Lila would take a sinister turn.

Alex, a renowned scientist, and Lila, an artist with a penchant for the unknown, had always been the perfect pair. Their love was a testament to the boundless possibilities of the universe. They had chosen Xylara, a planet that had been rumored to be untouched by human hands, as their romantic getaway.

As they stepped off the sleek, silver shuttle, the air was thick with the scent of alien flora. The twin moons hung low in the sky, casting an eerie glow over the landscape. Lila's heart raced with excitement, but Alex's brow furrowed with concern.

"Are you sure about this, Alex?" Lila asked, her voice barely above a whisper.

Alex turned to her, his eyes reflecting the strange light. "I trust the readings. It's just a honeymoon, Lila. Let's enjoy it."

Their first night was filled with the sounds of the unknown. The calls of nocturnal creatures echoed through the dense forests, and the twin moons seemed to dance in the sky. As they settled into their luxurious cabin, they couldn't help but feel a sense of wonder at the beauty and mystery of Xylara.

But as the days passed, the honeymoon began to take a darker turn. The creatures of Xylara were not as friendly as they had first appeared. They watched them from the shadows, their eyes glowing with an otherworldly light. The sounds of the forest grew louder, more insistent, and the echo of laughter followed them wherever they went.

One evening, as they sat by the campfire, a chilling wind swept through the trees, and the laughter grew louder. Alex shivered, his eyes wide with fear.

"What's wrong, Alex?" Lila asked, her voice trembling.

"I don't know," Alex replied, his voice barely audible. "But something... someone... is watching us."

The next morning, they found their supplies ransacked, and a trail of strange symbols led them deeper into the forest. The symbols seemed to be warnings, but of what, they couldn't tell. They followed the trail, their hearts pounding with fear, and soon found themselves in a vast, open plain.

In the center of the plain stood an ancient, crumbling structure. It was a temple, its walls covered in the same strange symbols they had seen before. As they approached, the ground trembled, and the temple began to vibrate.

"Stay back, Lila," Alex commanded, his voice steady despite the fear that gripped him.

Lila nodded, but she couldn't help but feel a strange pull towards the temple. As they stepped inside, the walls seemed to close in around them, and the air grew thick with an oppressive silence.

Suddenly, the floor beneath them began to shift, and they were thrown to the ground. As they scrambled to their feet, they realized they were trapped. The temple was collapsing, and they were in the middle of it.

The echoes of laughter grew louder, and the symbols on the walls seemed to come to life. The walls began to glow, and the air grew colder. Alex and Lila looked at each other, their faces pale with terror.

"We have to get out of here," Alex said, his voice steady.

But as they ran, the echoes of laughter grew louder, and the symbols seemed to move, reaching out towards them. The ground beneath their feet shook, and they were pulled towards the center of the temple.

In a desperate bid for survival, Alex and Lila fought against the pull of the symbols. They managed to reach the edge of the temple, but the symbols reached out, wrapping around their legs, pulling them back in.

As they fell, they looked at each other one last time. The echoes of laughter filled the air, and the temple finally collapsed around them.

When they awoke, they found themselves in a small clearing, surrounded by the remnants of the temple. They were alive, but the laughter of the symbols still echoed in their minds.

Alex and Lila looked at each other, their eyes filled with a mix of relief and horror. They had survived the echoes of the lost planet, but the memories of that night would haunt them forever. The honeymoon had become a nightmare, and the love they thought they had shared was now just a distant memory.
