The Beginning

Let me start from the beginning....
Before our solar system existed as we know it today, it was covered in an endless darkness. No light penetrated the endless shadows. Until one day, at the very edge of the solar system, a faint glow emerged from the ground of a small planet. Like a flower that has grown out of the ground.
It was hope that made it sprout. The feeling of a single soul.
Her name was Arie. It was she who built our planet and nurtured the sprout.
For many many years, my people protected the sprout of hope that cleansed the solar system of eternal darkness.
Atheras, that's what they called themselves. The protectors of Eden and the guardians of the seed of light.
I was born here too. I lived a carefree life. Always living in the here and now, until one day they entrusted me with the protection of our heart. The crystal tree at the heart of our little world. But the way it was.
After 5000 years, even this task becomes rather boring.
A disadvantage of living on a planet at the end of the solar system. It felt like it too.
Time passed so slowly and day in and day out it was always the same faces, the same conversations. The same... me.

And then there are the moments when you wish that everything would stay as it is.Hope is a light that brings warmth to the hearts of those who receive it. But doubt was like a virus that smashed all light to pieces.
And so it came to pass that our glimmer of hope. The eternal light of our planet slowly began to wither.I don't remember much. Everyone was running around paniking. And at some point my little world went...black.I don't know how long I slept. Days, weeks, maybe months. But the world I came back to was not the one I knew. It was so chaotic, so huge and full of thousands of life forms.
But the most interesting one was the human. It took me a while to understand them. Their feelings and their way of life. Or should I say ways. Each of them had their own.
So many countries, so many stories.I wanted to get to know them.to be continued....
