Now, she posed glowingly, soon to become a mother. Soon to complete a journey that she had almost given up ever believing she would take.
What would they have thought then, had they known that this child would become the savior of mankind? That he would grow to lead humanity to their greatest achievements. That he would be the inventor of interstellar travel, and become the most revered being in all the universe?
What would they have thought then? At this moment, it mattered not. All that mattered was that this was the beginning of a journey that had seemed impossible, to begin another life anew. |
