1 - Emergence

I awake as the blazing star above me washes over everything.

Hope.

My eyes slowly adjust to behold ancient ruins pushing back against time.

This place is special. I feel it in my soul.

“Where am I?”

Somewhere within me, there is a deep knowing. An inherent reverence for not just this temple, but this land.

This moment.

I make my way towards the ruined portal, and as I pass beneath the archway, I tune in to the vibration of the stone.

Cold, steady, and resolute.

These pillars are billions of years old.

So am I.
