Had it been the nanotech that filled his head or Ancient God that brought him round? Ker really couldn’t tell anymore. At any rate, he felt hollow, empty, and totally alone.

The past and present still swirled around his brain. He swept the hair from his face, took a long deep breath to clear his head, and sat back to study the deity before him.

Who was he? Or better yet, what was he? Powerful, definitely. Ancient, certainly. God, probably… hard as that thought was to grasp.

A god, one of the Makers, worshiped by his people so long ago. My people… all gone and I’m alone.

Alone… sadness suddenly griped him. I am totally alone. Ker struggled to push the thoughts away but then it hit him, Alone.

There had been someone else here, a woman. Or was it just a memory from the past… so hard to tell. No, she was here before but, where had she gone?

“God, you were traveling with a woman?” Ker said.

“Yes child.” Eric replied.

“Where is she?”

Dreanna was nowhere to be found.
