The Past

When the reddish-brown planet eventually came into view, the first thing I noticed was the wreckage and craters strewn around the side of it that was being bathed in sunlight.

If the astronomers of the Earth saw this, they'd possibly think that something incredible happened on its surface.

In truth, it was simply the trace of the battles my father and some other old fossils left behind here.

"How long have you been diverting them here?"

"Not for long. Five years, maybe? A Space Vessel wandered into this desolate part of the universe. We intercepted it before they could reach Earth. They're part of an exploration fleet that was looking for traces of the old, dried-up Sage World."

"Huh. They're not from the Dark World."

"They only caught a whiff of your Divinity when it awakened years ago and uncovered the Mortal Worlds that we tied to Earth. Do you think a Transcendent has enough ability to track us down?"
