The final design stirred an extraordinary excitement. Before Tuormo and the others unfolded a spectacle unlike anything created before. They called themselves the Creators. Their new work would be known as the Milky Way. Within it, they placed the Solar System — and within that system, Earth.

  Thanks to his remarkable abilities, Tuormo could envision the entire evolution of Earth, and later, the beings that would inhabit it. By forming the right chemical compounds — water, methane, ammonia, hydrogen — and combining organic molecules, they shaped a world governed by precise forces: gravity pulling matter inward to form a sphere, rotation around its axis, internal tectonic movement, electrical discharges, solar energy, and finally, time itself.

  Through Tuormo’s extraordinary insight, the Creators brought forth a world from which nature and the first organisms slowly emerged. They had already planned their initial experiments — gently guiding the development of life on Earth, never forcing it, only following the natural mechanisms of evolution. Their intention was simple: observe the potential they had built.

  When they saw Earth becoming home to beings resembling humans, the Creators decided to give them their likeness — a mind, a soul, and free will. They shaped conditions in which life could grow into something capable of building, creating, and imagining. And yet, while nature seemed perfect, humanity — their greatest creation — constantly drifted toward self?destruction. Across countless timelines, in every era they placed humanity in, the pattern remained the same: humans built, and then destroyed.

  Tuormo suggested that the work must be repeated. So the Creators forged another civilization — far more advanced than Earth, yet crafted in its image.

  This was the civilization of Seirian.

  Their planet, Sirius, existed within a similar solar system and operated under principles much like Earth’s, but its inhabitants used their world differently. Thanks to the Creators’ improved guidance at the beginning of Seirian history, this civilization developed mechanisms that prevented the same ruinous tendencies seen on Earth.

  The Seirians, too, emerged through evolution — but from the very beginning, they were beings driven toward growth and creation. The Creators wanted to witness how their work would evolve in a world without war, conquest, greed, or the hunger for power. A world built on different foundations: intangible values, collective good, and harmony.

  Tuormo decided he would intervene at the right moment — to save his first creation.
