Philosophers' Stone
Many explorers and magicians have travelled
across the continents, searching for the Philosophers’ Stone.
Legend has it that the stone originated from the core of the universe,
the core which cannot be seen even with today’s eyes. It is said in hidden
whispers, that it has all the secrets of the past, present, and future embedded
in it. Pyramids of Egypt, Stonehenge, Oak of Mamre, and ancient maps,
have all been searched painstakingly, only to be left with an echo of time’s
laughter, scorning the stone’s seekers fruitless mission.
“It is not a real stone,” an alchemist once told me. “It is a fabled stone that exists
only in the imaginary world.
“Our world today was once an imaginary world,” another alchemist told me.
“what if the Philosophers’ Stone exists?”
