The ancient explorers

"Yes. Before the colonialists' arrival, a group of mystical beings came down from the skies. They descended on one of the islands near the Central Continent in large flying ships that looked just like this." Freya replied pointing at the futuristic-looking machine before them.

"Very few historical events are considered as significant as their arrival. Their descent onto Gaia has been depicted in historical texts and works of art as magnificent and otherworldly. A lot of the art from that period portrays the explorers as angelic winged beings emerging from mystical machines."

"So, just like the colonialists, the explorers were also aliens from another world?" Hugo was puzzled.

"I think that's the case," Freya replied with her eyes squinted.

"You say this ship was one of theirs?" Hugo was worried.

"Most likely." Freya nodded.

Hugo's expectations were instantly shattered.
