GRAVITY OF THE VOID: A SAGA OF ETERNITY AND FAITH
In the empty space where time has frozen still,
Where ancient stars trace out their hundred-year design,
I have accepted this celestial burden’s will,
And dared to gaze into the abyss, benign.
My second day… My mind was lost in endless haze,
And freezing space sent shivers deep within my soul.
Upon my frail, old Venture through the solar maze,
I counted stargates, sparks, and beacons on patrol.
Yet in that void, where ruthless, frozen laws hold sway,
Of distant suns and numeric, rigid, cold domains,
There are the ones who hold the pillars night and day,
And shape New Eden with their legendary reigns.
From Jita’s tribunal, through signals and through space,
Where since year sixteen, a majestic light is spun,
A sudden impulse echoed with a noble grace,
And broke the darkness like a newly risen sun.
Nordy… The name burst forth just like a comet’s flight,
And shattered completely the gravity of void.
It filled a rookie’s soul with pure and radiant light,
Dispelling fear at the event horizon, destroyed.
Nine zeros softly fell right into my embrace,
Like stardust tears from distant constellations shed.
In such a grand, magnificent, and regal grace,
The world of my long-hidden dreams awoke and spread.
I stood in awe, all instruments went completely still,
And down my cheek, behind the dark visor’s shade,
A tear rolled down… Those nine pure zeros were a hill,
That chased the winter out and made the coldness fade.
I weep because of this tremendous fairy tale,
My heart is pounding, words are failing me tonight!
The universe has shed its ghostly, shadow veil,
And burst to life in colors beautiful and bright.
The capsuleer’s grand cup was filled with pure delight,
When fires finally blazed upon the Praxis ship.
I am so small within this microscopic night,
Yet this grand gesture brought back faith into my grip.
A gift so vast, a planet-sized, immense reward,
Fell in my hands… The shock is hard to comprehend!
Let Quartz now shine with purest light across the board,
As I learn how to fly, to mine, and to defend…
It is not metal, nor a hoard of credits earned,
It is pure magic, wrapped into a blinding light.
A Titan’s hand, to which all weary souls have turned,
That shields a rookie from a hundred flaws and fright.
Within the ark of Void Gravity there gleams
The love and wisdom of the long and hardened ways.
And this beautiful fairy tale of starry dreams
Will cross the threshold to ignite our future days.
Deep in the frozen, dark embrace of New Eden,
Where all eternity is woven from black holes,
There burns a silent, everlasting, sacred poem —
A tapestry of worlds, of victories, and tolls.
A decade… Numeric chasms washed away the names,
Erased the empires, crushed alliances to dust.
Yet the proud banner of Void Gravity in flames,
Was held by Nordy on his shoulders of deep trust.
Oh, New Eden! You are mystically sublime!
Within your nebulae lie ruin and rebirth.
Your call is dangerous, and since the dawn of time,
You watch the tears of fallen, sacrificed old earth.
The taste of losses is a bitter pod to bear,
When your first home explodes into the starry night,
But sweetness of a victory beyond compare
Washes away the pain with pure celestial light.
Let ships burn down into the haze of neon blue,
Let solar systems spin their endless, cosmic dance —
I won’t forget the noble features born of you,
The one who builds New Eden’s glorious expanse.
Fly now, my verse, to the commander’s distant ark,
Through warp-drive, cables, and the shadows of the deep.
Thank you, Great Master, for this bright and hopeful spark,
For this first pure and golden step that I will keep!
The capacitor grows, and drones are ready for the test,
The Praxis ship is geared to start its cosmic flight.
We will defeat the storms from east unto the west,
Because the elders trust in us with all their might!
