Ayumi's Journey

Ayumi traveled through the void of space at breakneck speeds. It had been decades since she had seen her family. Or the man she had chosen to marry. Erich had taken up the primary course of her thoughts throughout these decades of isolation.

She had preyed upon every dying star in the Canis Major Dwarf Galaxy, peacefully allowing them to fade from existence, and in doing so harvesting their energy for her own evolution. It was not an easy process to manage, nor was it pleasant.

At the time she did not know what would break her mind first. The pain of forcing herself to evolve at an unnatural pace. Or the complete and total loneliness that she experienced in the vast emptiness of space.
