Prologue: A Strange Being

It existed since the beginning of time waiting in the cold dark void. There it waited for what it seems an eternity.

"How did I come into being?" it wondered. It doesn't know because it was alone and there is no one to tell it. It doesn't know what it is nor where it came from.

All it knows that its just there and it existed without a purpose. It spends its time feeling, listening and thinking.

It tuned its senses reaching out into the depths of space always searching…. searching.

"For what?" it asked. "What will I find out there? Is there anybody who can tell me?". Slowly it drifted to sleep.

It suddenly awoke and an eon has passed since it slept but to it that was just mere hours. It listened again flinging its senses out into space, feeling and searching.

"Hello?" It called "Is there anyone out there? Can anybody tell me why I am here?". Suddenly it felt something calling out and hope grew within it.

" Hello? Who's there?" it asked but that something didn't answer. " Hello?!" it desperately asked and still no answer.

'What is this thing?' It concentrated its will to call upon that creature trying to communicate with it and failed.

For the creature couldn't understand it. "Am I alone? Is there no one who could to talk to me?'" it said sadly and it pondered but still could not find the answers.

Depressed it stayed until sleep took over.

"It's hopeless there is no one here, nothing but cold and darkness. Why am I here? Where is everyone like me? Where have they gone?"

It woke up with a start for there is something calling it in its sleep. "Hello? Is anyone there?" to it's surprise something answered.

It concentrated its will trying to grasps hold of the callers signal before it faded. "I'm coming, wait for me," it answered. It waited and hoped that something would appear.
