Prologue

"We have to get off this planet, Ely." The sense of urgency in Kaen's voice was visible. The Supreme Alliance had launched their attack, and time was running out.

"It's too late, Kaen. They've surrounded the planet. Any spaceship we send out there will be a sitting duck for their destroyers." Ely's voice was filled with frustration and despair.

"We don't have any other options then. We have to send him out there alone." Kaen's face twisted with worry as he spoke, clearly hesitant to put someone he cared about in such danger. The baby they're holding right now is their own son.

"Open up that capsule, then! The Council gave us permission to use the EDEN, and our child is the last hope for our race!" She spoke with a sense of urgency, her eyes darting between the control panel and her husband

Kaen nodded, and his fingers flew over the control panel. With a hiss of air, a small circular space capsule opened up. It was just big enough to hold an infant. They called it EDEN - a new ship designed to send pure-blooded Stellan infants to other planets. The capsule was specifically designed to halt their baby's aging, ensuring they wouldn't have to worry about him dying from starvation during the long journey.

Ely gently placed the infant inside the EDEN capsule, tears streaming down her face as she said her final goodbyes. Her husband locked the capsule, sealing their child inside.

"Where are we gonna send him?" Ely's voice was filled with emotion as she asked the question, her face betraying her uncertainty and fear

"I remembered that my ancestors once discovered a planet in the Desolate Zone, a million light years away from our galaxy. It's a barren place, but at least he'll be safe there." Kaen's voice was also tinged with sadness as he spoke, aware that he would be sending his child far away, with little hope of ever seeing him again.

"That's too far," his wife exclaimed in frustration.

"A million light years is a distance we couldn't possibly travel for at least a century." Her despair was evident in her voice.

"Normally, a journey like this would be impossible, but EDEN has the Ether core inside it - it's got enough energy to traverse that distance in just 10 years," Kaen spoke with a hint of reassurance in his voice, knowing that he had to stay strong for his wife.

As the weight of the circumstance hung heavily in the air, there came a moment of silence between the two.

"We dont have a choice then, a planet near our star system would be an easy target for our enemy." Ely's voice was weak but resolved, as she finally gave in.

Kaen nodded and set the ship's destination, programming it with a steady hand. He then pulled a small round black device from his pocket - something he had invented himself to protect his son in case of an emergency.

Suddenly, they heard a deafening explosion echo through the air, followed by an earthquake so strong that it caused the entire area to shake as if it might cave in at any moment.

"They've bombed the planet's core! Hurry, launch the ship!" Ely screamed in terror.

As they waited for the sequence to complete, they felt the weight of the world on their shoulders. Their planet was being destroyed, and they were just waiting for death to claim them. With seconds to spare, the EDEN ship finally finished its activation sequence and blasted off into space, just as their planet was engulfed in flames.

"Live well, my son," were the last words to escape their mouths before the flames consumed their bodies

By some stroke of fate, the EDEN had been launched at the exact moment their planet was destroyed, and it was able to slip past the enemy's radar undetected due to the debris of rocks that were scattered throughout space after the explosion.

It continued to accelerate at an extreme speed, warping the space around it like a piece of fabric

While the EDEN traveled through the vast, silent expanse of space, the baby boy inside the capsule remained in a deep slumber, his life preserved by the ship's advanced technology.

But the journey was not without its dangers. There were many unknown threats in the void, and the EDEN had to avoid every obstacle and navigate through treacherous cosmic terrain.

Days turned into weeks, and weeks turned into years. The ship continued to hurtle through space, its occupant suspended in a state of frozen animation. Finally, after what felt like an eternity, the ship emerged from the depths of space and approached a small, blue-green planet in a remote corner of the galaxy.

The planet was Eartha, a planet that had long been abandoned by the Stelan race. The EDEN's descent onto Eartha was nothing short of awe-inspiring. It was as if a meteor had fallen from the heavens, crashing down to the ground with a force that shook the very earth beneath it. The ship came down in a blaze of light, its engines roaring like thunder as it made its final approach.

It landed on a deserted patch of land, and the EDEN's systems shut down. For a long moment, there was silence, broken only by the gentle hum of the ship's cooling systems. Then, with a soft hiss, the capsule opened, revealing the baby boy inside.

He was the last hope of his people, the sole survivor of a civilization that had been destroyed in a devastating war. And now he was alone on an alien planet, surrounded by an empty expanse of land.

The baby boy slept, cradled by the gentle hum of the EDEN's systems. Then he opened his eyes and looked out at the strange, new world before him.

As he gazed out at the unfamiliar landscape before him, he noticed a faint movement in the distance. Squinting his eyes, he saw a figure approaching.
