[11 Years Ago — A World Where Humans Were Beyond Human]
The air carried the gentle scent of nature—
soft, calming, and warm.
Laughter echoed through what seemed like
an ordinary, peaceful day.
Five children ran past a group of adults,
snacks clutched in their hands.
At the front was Loy—
the oldest.
A boy around eleven years old,
standing at about 159 centimeters.
A simple white T-shirt,
black shorts,
and neatly cut short hair.
His eyes…
They didn't match his age.
They held something far more mature—
something determined.
He walked barefoot.
Not because he lacked shoes—
but because he had given them away
to the younger ones.
Behind him were the chaotic siblings,
J and K.
Ages eleven and nine.
Their names came from "Joker"—
and it suited them perfectly.
They were the laughter of the group,
never serious,
always messing around.
Dressed entirely in black,
with long hair flowing behind them,
and smiles that never seemed to fade.
Then there was Ray.
Ten years old,
around 145 centimeters tall.
Her long hair was tied neatly behind her,
with a few loose strands framing her face.
A white short-sleeved shirt,
white shorts.
Unlike the others—
she didn't laugh at J and K's jokes.
She was the most serious one among them.
And finally…
Bee.
The youngest.
Eight years old.
Short hair—
almost like a boy's.
Not because she had to—
but because she preferred it that way.
An oversized shirt,
casual shorts.
A bright smile always on her face—
yet her eyes…
sharp,
mischievous,
watching for any chance to tease.
She loved messing with others.
And when annoyed—
she would bite.
These five were inseparable.
They reached a playground,
sat down together,
opened their snacks,
and talked—
like it was just another normal day.
Tomorrow…
would be their first day of school.
A small moment.
Yet,
to them—
it meant everything.
Time passed.
They grew.
Stronger.
Sharper.
Better at what they chose to become.
Even when things became difficult—
none of them gave up.
Because none of them
were ever alone.
[Present Day]
They met again.
Older.
Changed.
Yet somehow—
the same.
Loy remained strong and dependable.
J and K had grown into unexpectedly handsome young men.
Ray and Bee—
each beautiful in their own way.
But one thing never changed.
Their bond.
They shared the same dream—
To explore space.
To become
the first five humans
to step beyond their world.
With their combined strengths,
and the understanding they had built over the years—
they passed.
Before departure,
they said goodbye.
To their families.
To the people they loved.
And made a single promise—
"We'll come back."
No one spoke after that.
But they all understood.
3…
2…
1…
The spacecraft launched into the sky.
And from that moment—
something began to watch them.
