Divergent Universe
In the gravel deserts of the planet Tarryan, hot gusts blow through the sands as you drag your ever-aging body slowly through this desolate wasteland. Many Amber Eras ago, lush wetlands and grasses enveloped the areas here — but they regressed to nihility before you could.
The flowers are lucky — they can never fear, let alone grow attached to the value of existence. Intelligent life has the power to open its own eyes, and so it must face down that ever-approaching finality.
What does one have to create in order to leave behind traces of our existence?

You: Create stars.
You: Create destruction.
You: Create civilization.

Divergent Universe
But can this really reach eternity? You ask yourself this question over and over again. Even if you devote your whole life's wisdom to it, there's still no way of fishing up an answer from the ocean of knowledge.
You kneel down upon the wasteland, letting the gravel dig into your knee and draw blood. The blinding winds dry up your pouring tears, as though laughing at your foolishness or comforting your sorrows.
What's the point of going all out to prove yourself? You keep trying to leave behind traces of your existence, but gradually end up just losing yourself.

You: I'm feeling so very tired.

Divergent Universe
Lying down ever so gently on the ground, you feel the boiling rocks hurting your skin. It has been such a long time since you have felt so clearly that you are still alive. If you die, you die — the only thing that can replace life is life itself.
The occasional flowers grow out from among the gravel. They lie dormant beneath the hot sun and sprout shoots once the rain falls. Looking at these little flowers, you finally discover the gift that you want to leave behind for the mortal world.

You: Can it really be forever?
You: Can it remember me?

Divergent Universe
Maybe not. You sow your final seed of invention. May they bloom among the desert gravel until flowers cover the entire wilderness. May they continue to proudly face the nihilistic future long after you're gone.
