With a deep sigh that seemed to echo the weight of centuries, Aurora embarked on a tale as ancient as time itself, reaching back to a period two hundred million years ago.
Imagine a world where the continents were not scattered as they are today but united in a vast expanse of land known as Pangea.
It was a time when the air buzzed with a mysterious energy, a fifth element beyond the familiar ones of today, known as Aether.
"Wait? Humans existed back then?" Wang Xiao interjected, prompting Aurora to roll her eyes in exasperation.
"They did. Don't question the how or why! I said to save your questions for later. Let me finish first," she retorted, her words tinged with a mix of irritation and urgency.
Wang Xiao nodded, signaling her to continue.
Aurora exhaled, weaving her tale once more.
