From space, Earth looked like a quiet blue jewel slowly turning in the darkness of the universe.
Vast oceans reflected the sunlight, while white clouds drifted across the continents like living paintings.
Yet behind that beautiful image lay a restless world.
In the great cities, the noise never stopped—crowded streets, towering screens lighting up the night, and millions of people living lives that moved faster every year.
Technology had reached a level humanity could not have imagined only a few centuries ago.
Machines could think.
Cities had grown larger than ever before.
But something else had been growing as well.
Conflict.
Nations competed for power. Armies expanded. Weapons became stronger and more capable of destruction.
Every nation feared the others.
And every civilization believed it would last forever.
On one quiet night, far from the crowded world, an astronomer worked in a remote observatory in the middle of a vast desert.
Her name was Lana.
She had spent many years studying the sky. To her, the stars were never just distant lights—they were a silent language the human mind was still trying to understand.
That night, the sky above the observatory was unusually clear.
Lana sat before the giant telescope, reviewing data arriving from deep space.
At first, she thought what she saw was simply an error in the lens.
But the light did not disappear.
Deep in the sky, a faint circle of light had appeared.
It was not a star.
It was not a galaxy.
It was…
a gate.

Lana leaned closer to the computer screen, her heart beating faster.
The data showed that the light was not coming from a physical object.
It was coming from a rupture in space itself.
She whispered to herself,
"This is impossible…"
But the light grew clearer.
And suddenly, she saw something inside the gate.
Luminous forests.
A sky painted with unfamiliar colors.
And strange beings moving around a colossal wall of light.
This was not imagination.
It was another world.

Lana felt her mind drowning in a flood of images, as if her consciousness were being pulled toward the distant light.
Her heart raced.
The room began to spin around her.
And just before she lost consciousness, she whispered a single sentence.
"We are not alone."
Then she collapsed to the floor.
