We have expanded across the known world, our civilization now at its peak. Death rates drop by every coming day, truly I am blessed to live in this time. Standing, the apex of society, from here I can see grandiose futures, from here my worries shorten as I laugh. My friends of two hundred years by my side, an infinite future in front of us; The possibilities make me shudder. Joining the second generations group, I never once doubted I’d end up here. Standing on this ark over the blue world, A gem which shines among the brightest stars. Where else can you find such life, varied kins. Where else can you find laughter in silence? I’ve not lived a short life by any means, however I cannot wish for much more.

I dream of forever, they dream of feast; I dream of tomorrow, they struggle now. Such brightness would it be to have freedom, not even I am unafraid of death, can I escape to the stars for slumber? No… there is no better place than right here, at least we have not yet found it, empty. The search for a second world to feed us, one untouched by human greed, need; one we can have for ourselves, ones called “elves”. Our search has been futile, but life’s long. Let's hope that in but a few short decades, we see a utopia brighter than.

“The stars dim compared to humanity, but can we search for something brighter than…?”
