Just a snippet of it. When she got the invitation from them, she literally screamed her lungs out. The Imperial Vault wasn't the normal gallery. It was only for the wealthy...and by wealthy, not the kind of a family hospital wealthy of the Sandersons. Ethan had opened her up to opportunities she didnt doubt her skill to get her, but it will take her years to get there. Yet in a month, she was spreading loud and bright. The camera flashed at some point, but she kept concentrated and the media was loving her anyways.

Unknown time until everything changes. The countdown has begun.

In the end, Willa can go back to being the CEO of her company, and I'll be the CEO of my own company. I began to feel drowsy as the sunlight bathed me in warmth. I took a bank card out of my bag just as Delilah was about to close the door and said, "I have five million dollars here—no PIN is needed." Delilah was momentarily stunned as she looked at the closed door. She chuckled softly and whispered to herself, "You're actually really treating me like a sugar baby, huh?" … It was finally the day of the cocktail party, and the banquet hall was thick with the mingling scents of champagne and perfume.

Her curiosity was a flicker of light in the darkness of my life, a sign of her interest in me and my world. "Well... to start with, I'm the oldest here... by about 400 years or so." Her gasp was unexpectedly pleasing, making me grin as I continued, "I'm just over 1200. I was born in...well, around 880 AD." The numbers were drastic, a testament to the centuries I had traversed and the epochs of human history I had witnessed.

"We don't just run from their story. We write a better one, right in front of them." A new resolve hardened in Jeff's eyes. He brought up the scar-map of the galaxy. "Then we find a story they can't ignore. A disaster even the Weavers can't spin." He zoomed in on a system blazing with a catastrophic, non-narrative energy. It was a stellar nursery, a region of intense star formation, but something was wrong. A young, unstable star was going supernova millennia ahead of its time, caught in a feedback loop of its own radiation. It wasn't a tragedy written by the Weavers; it was a random, natural accident.

He didn't turn around, but he reached back to find my hand, threading his fingers through mine. "They don't have anything weighing them down," I noted. Leo squeezed my hand. "Neither do we.

We were working on the *Chronicle of the Transition*—the official record of the ten million years it took for humanity to move from a species of conquest to a species of cultivation.

References to dates and locations and names that seemed to stretch back centuries. One file in particular caught my attention. It was a timeline. It showed that major breakthroughs in energy technology, global infrastructure, and even political shifts had occurred at regular intervals. Every fifty years. Exactly when the Order was said to gather or restructure. My parents work on Project Obsidian fell right into that timeline. Lucius Calder’s rise to power fit perfectly too. “They do not just react to history,” I said softly. Speaking my thoughts aloud. “They write it. They plan it decades in advance. Everything that happens in the world happens because they allow it or arrange it.”

Five hundred years passed since Hope chose rest. Five hundred years since Dawn's first sacrifice. Five hundred years since the beginning of everything. The community had grown beyond imagination. Millions of beings. Thousands of species. Hundreds of forms of consciousness. All coexisting. All thriving. All living Hope's legacy.
