"Everything has a beginning."

It began with fire and ice.

Fire from the alien pod crashing through the atmosphere, and ice from the frigid air.

Trees bowed and cracked as the projectile flew past, leafy branches falling from the canopy. The few that stood strong soon crumbled to the raging fire that trailed the UFO, their dry trunks no match for this foreign flame.

The ground had parted for such a magnificent object, making way for the stranger to the world. Rocks had flown and boulders turned to dust, but the pod remained strong and willful, not a scratch flawing its structure. Never had this earth ever received an honour such as this. Never had any planet then, nor any day since.

Life grew silent as the metal pod, strewn with unrecognisable glyphs and symbols, came to a rest in the soft mud. Everything held its breath for the moment. And everything awed for the grand entity that arose from the spinning pieces.

It had no wish, nor means, to remain there any longer. And so, it fled into the darkened night, seeking that for hence it came, leaving nothing but an inkling of its past presence.

And there stood, to remain, a sight that brought the men of old to their knees and brings the women of new to their toes, inspiring many. This is my story. And this is how my whole universe changed in an instant.
