A New Star in a Familiar Galaxy.

My SpaceShip was getting cold. The last bottle of good old Sprite was coming to its last drop. I checked my positioning and in the vastness that is Space... wow. What beauty. Magnificence unlocked itself to the vision of this beholder. Shining in the purest form. I have seen this before. Well, last time I did when I was in Earth. But I'm not. Light years, billions of stars I have seen and passed but none like this. I approach with caution of that of a child stealing the cookie from the cookie-jar. Its massive body rotates and there in bright red lies the name: ReiKa Mio.

It's light emits a warmth I have forgotten, ever since being in this galaxy. Galaxy where I see my fellow, well, past fellow captain ships floating, adding to the Space Dust left behind by the human. The Galaxy of the Lost is what Vishka, my four-legged friend calls it. I stare at this great star, Mio (a.k.a Tomu AyakaFlous) and I gain the sense of life I once felt- in Earth.

The illuminance of this Star, so bright and vivid as it gives off its photons I witnessed a black-hole become filled with light. It creates a port of me and Vishka.

The Lone Ranger gears himself to embark on the new adventure.
