Preface

Thousands of years ago.
The Eldridge, a gigantic interplanetary emigrant spacecraft, suffered a sudden shipwide systems malfunction monitors that warned of
a mysterious shadow instant. Before the respond, someone or over their entire ship.
As the passengers and crew attempted to evacuate, the spacecraft’s own laser cannons coldly turned and shot them down. The captain had no choice but to activate the ship’s self-destruct mechanism. In a flash of light, the spacecraft fell to a nearby planet.
Born from the fallen wreckage, ‘she’ slowly arose, her long hair blowing in the wind as her eyes reflected the dawn’s breaking light. Reflecting the start of the day that ‘god’ and ‘humankind’ fell to earth.
