"You know, space isn't as grand as the movies depicted it to be. It's so...empty." As far as the eye could see, there was nothing but darkness all around Kai, Leo, and Clarisse. Well, kind of. They were all primodials, so they could see differently from mortals, so Kai was actually able to see distant stars and planets.
The only issue was that they were still far away, and the space around him was still empty. It was like looking at an oasis at the opposite end of a desert. You know it's there, but you have to cross the entire desert just to reach it.
Leo raised an eyebrow. "I assumed you knew of this already."
"I did, but when you go your whole life knowing and expecting one thing, it sucks when you find the truth about it."
"Dude, that's stupid. Your civilization sent probes into space, and you had telescopes that could see hundreds of millions of miles away."
