High above, floating untethered from the earth, the natural world watched in rapt attention as the forces of destruction ravaged above. Centuries ticked by with a slow and measured pace, yet the creatures that clung to the upper echelons remained cowed by the weight of their history.

Seagulls, long vanished, remained frozen in time, serving as relics of a generation that had passed into myth. The rare rooms that enshrined these artifacts were dedicated to a time before, a time when the beings that had called themselves humans had roamed the earth with reckless abandon.
