After moving one more step, Lilith saw a stone, which seemed like a very old payphone.

“Knock on the stone three times”, said the bird.

Lilith knocked three times. But, nothing happened. Then she thought she saw someone else joining their company.

“Hi, dear lady! Hi Darnathil. How is it going?”

Lilith watched it and could not believe it. It was the eagle from the book.

“Hi”, said Lilith.

“What is your name, please? I am Evaris.”

“Nice to meet you Evaris. Another strange name. I am Lilith. What does your name mean”?

“Nice to meet you too, Lilith. My name means that I am an explorer beyond the stars.”

“Wow, this looks awesome. Now what shall we do?”

“Both of you join me. I will take you to a great journey. Where no man has ever been before”.

“That is Star Trek”, said Lilith, giggling.

“Smart girl, said the eagle. Come on, we don’t have much time.”

Lilith and Darnathil moved over his open back. Then he said.

“ Beam me up, Scotty!”

For a few minutes, Lilith felt she was inside a strange elevator. From the original forest, they passed some big cities, flown over mountains, even passed through an erupted volcano, without getting any damage.

Well, Evaris’s left wing got a bit burned at the end, but he continued flying neverthless.

When everything stopped they looked around and saw nothing.

“Where are we? Lilith said.

“The right question is not where, but when, dears”.

“What?” said both Lilith and Darnathil at exactly the same time.

“Not what, dears, when. We are at the beginning of time. In a few seconds you will witness the creation of the universe as we know it.”

“But how did we come here? And how can we breath without oxygen? And …?

“Patience, dears and in a few seconds you will get answers to all of your questions.”
