Anyone would know of this vast darkness. The eternal night and its temporal lights. Dots lined up and randomly spread. Here they wait to be answered by vision. Stray, out there.

So alone.

Little white lights knowing each other so well. Where the tales have come and gone and lasted for billions of lifetimes. Stars at peace, at war, harmony, fear, and no end in sight, no matter how convinced their denizens were of the final year coming so very soon.

It never came.

In that maze of lights they encompassed distance without measure. Space beyond Time. Fantasy and reality.

One light.

They named it A’ro.
