Day MDCCLXXI, part I

In the morning I didn't just get up and decided to lay for a moment on the cubic thingy. I was gonna go back today, after talking with The Great One about how to open the path, but there was no rush. On top of that, I had my doubts.

Don't get me wrong here, I really wanted this, but I also knew that every single person with influence and money will try to put their hands on the device in some kind of way. I knew that some shit will happen and people will get hurt in one way or another.

After several minutes, I finally picked myself up, and slowly made my way to the right place. The suns were shining over some of the cities I could see through the gates. Others were enveloped in darkness.

It was my last walk in this strange, cold, silver light shining from above on the empty alien buildings. I admired the greens and the sadness of this city.

Reminiscent of once a great civilization, that caused its own demise, with a bit of help from the outside.
