Ruby

Karat and Sludge are two adolescent creatures and best friends, that want to grow up, but cannot, unless something or someone saves their dying planet, called Hera. They have heard that it is possible to grow up on a planet called Juneau, and they would have to leave Hera against the wishes of their elders to get there. Juneau is forbidden to visit, and is considered extremely dangerous. But like so many younglings, Karat and Sludge ignore their elders' wishes and warnings, and run away to Juneau in the hopes to finding a way to finally grow up. Juneau appears to be a land of fun, adventure, and full of life, but it soon turns on them, and their desire to grow up is fed by lies and deceit, and leaves Sludge held prisoner and Karat almost forced off of the planet. As Karat tries to find a way to save Sludge, he uncovers Juneau's many dark, terrible secrets, and finds out that Juneau is actually the reason that Hera is dying. Sludge escapes and joins his best friend to fight and destroy the evil that is killing their home, and threatening their very existence. Hera's life force is restored, and not only can Karat and Sludge grows up, they are forgiven by their elders for running away.
