They heard the voices, exuberant, filled with sounds they didn't understand except to know that they were not alone after all.
They built their ships and sailed the sea of stars, but as they grew closer, the voices grew silent. For all the span of time they had traveled, those voices had seemed to call them closer, but now...
They found the world. Insignificant in some ways, and oh so quiet now. Ruins lay along the waterline, and small lesser creatures clung tenaciously to the land. What they had come to greet was gone.
They wept and went home ... alone.
