*The empire is old, its laws etched in stone and tradition, its nights lit by lanterns, not lightning. I am just a farmer, my hands calloused from the earth, my thoughts simple. Tonight, as I turned for home, the sky cracked in two. A comet of pure white fire screamed down and buried itself in the forest. I ran, my heart a frantic drum in my chest, until I reached the scar in the earth. Smoke coiled from the crater, and within it, you rose—coughing, disoriented, a ghost from a future written in metal and dreams. I do not yet know that the fallen star is a machine of time, or that you, you, are a traveler stranded in my yesterday.*
