statue and crossing
Helen smiled and bid farewell to her friends. She came to the school parking lot alone, when a tall boy surrounded by several friends approached her and stretched out a hand.
"Hi! I'm Thomas."
Helen shook hands with him, "Hi Thomas, I'm Helen, I know you, members of the Solar Eclipse band, your music is very good."
Thomas happily high-fived with his friends, and several others introduced themselves to Helen, and Helen responded one by one.
Then Thomas warmly invited: "I'm glad you know us, Helen, are you interested in participating in our concert tonight?"
Helen looked into the expectant eyes of the other party, smiled and refused: "I'm sorry, I should not have time to attend your concert tonight, I want to go home to visit my mother."
"Oh! That's such a pity." Thomas shrugged his shoulders in great disappointment, and didn't continue to insist. He watched Helen get into her car eagerly and drove away.
"She's charming, isn't she?" Thomas said to a nearby friend.
"But I heard that she was always cold and never attended any parties, and now it seems that she is so." His friends replied.
Helen's home is nearly 200 kilometers away from Harvard University, and it takes 2 to 3 hours to drive. Helen drives alone on the wide road, listening to the latest broadcast from the radio.
"Friends of the audience, the total solar eclipse once in ten years is about to be staged in China in two hours and 53 minutes. Observers of this solar eclipse will have the opportunity to witness the corona scene formed by the sun being covered by the moon. Remember to make observation preparations in advance ..."
Total solar eclipse, interesting phenomenon, but change the channel.
"...The evolution of species is diverse, driven by the interaction between genetic variation and natural selection. We used to have a misunderstanding that human evolution has a mysterious force of selection. It is difficult for us to judge whether this assertion is correct or not, but natural selection makes Individuals with better fitness survive and reproduce, and individuals with less fitness are eliminated..."

"Next, welcome our excellent Solar Eclipse band members, and sing us their latest work - "Love that travels through time and space""
Helen turned up the volume, letting the singing waft through the carriage.
"In a world of endless time, we met by fate's design,
Two souls entwined, across the realms we'd find,
Through the dimensions we soared, our love could not be ignored,
A love that defies time, forever we'll be aligned.
Hand in hand, we traveled through the unknown,
Together we faced every challenge that was shown,
Through the ages, our hearts remained true,
In this timeless love, I'll always find you.
Across the stars, through the fabric of time,
Our love transcends, it's a cosmic rhyme,
Together we dance, in a parallel romance,
In this endless journey, our souls will advance.
Through ancient eras we roamed, love's flame forever known,
From the past to the future, our bond has only grown,
Through the tapestry of time, our story intertwined,
A love so rare, beyond any earthly kind.
Through the epochs, our love will endure,
In every era, our connection secure,
Through the twists and turns of time's grand maze,
In your arms, I'll spend all my days.
Across the stars, through the fabric of time,
Our love transcends, it's a cosmic rhyme,
Together we dance, in a parallel romance,
In this endless journey, our souls will advance…"
The vehicle drove all the way amidst the singing, and two hours later, Helen parked the red car in front of a cozy house.
When the doorbell rang, a beautiful woman opened the door for Helen, and when she saw Helen, she hugged her happily.
"Welcome home! Kid!"
"Mom!" Helen hugged her mother, Mia, and walked into the room with a sword bag after changing shoes, "Where is Dad, didn't he come back from Greece?"
"Your father went to the laboratory. He seems to have found something this time. He brought you a gift, and it's in your room." Mom went back to the kitchen to get busy after she finished speaking.
When Helen passed by the living room, she saw Jack, the youngest child in the family, playing with Lego. "Hi, Jack."
"Hi! Helen, do you want to build Lego together?" Jack is a little boy with beautiful blond hair, currently ten years old, who goes to a nearby private middle school.
Rejecting her younger brother's invitation to cooperate, Helen returned to her room.
In this twenty-square-meter room, there is a warmly furnished bed near the window, a desk and chair next to it, and a computer and Helen's personal items on it. In the corner of the room, there is a two-meter-high The cabinet is full of all kinds of weird things.
These are gifts that Helen's father brought back from archaeological work in various countries. Every child in the Miller family has them. Helen has long been used to the surprises that this weird father gives her from time to time.
"Papa's gift, a strange statue."
Helen picked up the statue on the table. It was a statue of a figure made of unknown materials. Its face was unclear. It seemed to be a man with a big beard. He was holding a strange bird-head staff and an obsidian crown on his head. .
"Who is this person? A certain historical figure..."
Helen looked at the strange statue over and over, and found a strange pentagram on its base. She touched the pattern curiously with her fingers.
At this moment, the light outside the window suddenly dimmed. Helen opened the window and saw the sun in the sky being swallowed by the moon bit by bit.
"The eclipse is coming..." She remembered the news on the radio.
Suddenly, the sculpture in his hand emitted a golden light, causing Helen's eyes to widen in surprise.
A complete pentagram pattern appeared under his feet, emitting light and began to roar and rotate. The next moment, this light completely enveloped Helen.
When the light dissipated, Helen had disappeared into the room.
