~Illustration (Paragraph Comment):
Accel Age 8056; or for those still using that ancient calendar, 10.121 CE.
Humanity had long made itself known far and wide in a corner of the Milky Way galaxy. They had discovered innumerable new worlds, each one adorned with its unique environment which was truly unknown to people.
They had discovered alien lifeforms, but so far, humanity was still alone. No sentient was found between those stars and for now, their only equals and companions were themselves and their creations.
But would it stay that way forever? Nobody knew. There was still no way to learn the future, but that was alright. Let it be so. For there was also a whole realm that could be as mysterious as the future.
"What is it?" you asked. Well, it was none other than the past. That unknown place where those who came before walked to reach the present.
I wonder what marvel it hides.
