And at the end of time,

her beauty was released upon us mere mortals.

Her hair was knowledge omniscient,

and her eyes passion transcendent,

We floated in the infinite vacuum incomprehensible of her presence.

The progenitor of the stars.

All things chaos and order incarnate.

Until we sought to tyrannize the lord of the void,

and omega was wrought upon us.

Excerpt from the Forsaking of Gaia, 42nd century AD

Found amongst the ruins of Terra in the Sol System
