There had been a time when Earth did not exist.
Eve remembered it.
She remembered the darkness before the oceans.
She remembered the silence before the first heartbeat.
She remembered when the sky had no birds, the land had no forests, and the seas had not yet learned how to cradle life.
She remembered a world without humanity.
Without language.
Without history.
Without even a name.
And yet, somehow, she had been there.
She stood alone upon a mountain that no human civilization would discover for millions of years.
The mountain did not yet have a name.
Nothing did.
There were no borders, no nations, no roads, no monuments, no temples, no maps.
Only stone.
Wind.
Water.
And an enormous sky.
Eve looked toward the horizon.
The sun was rising.
She watched the first rays of light spill across the ancient world.
Gold touched the mountains.
Gold touched the ocean.
Gold touched her face.
Her long, dark hair moved gently in the wind.
Her amber eyes reflected the newborn morning.
She looked exactly as she had looked yesterday.
And the day before that.
And a thousand years before that.
And a million years before that.
She had never grown older.
She had never become weaker.
She had never forgotten.
Eve closed her eyes.
Behind her eyelids existed an ocean of memories.
Memories without beginning.
Memories without end.
She remembered the first rain.
She remembered the first thunderstorm.
She remembered watching lightning strike a tree and ignite the first great natural fire.
She remembered the smell of smoke.
She remembered the fear of animals fleeing from the flames.
She remembered standing beneath the stars afterward, watching the burning forest from a distance.
At the time, she had wondered whether the fire would destroy everything.
It had not.
The forest had returned.
Life always returned.
That was one of the first lessons Eve had learned.
Nothing remained forever.
Except her.
Eve opened her eyes.
The sun had climbed higher.
