After finishing his drink, Malin slumped back with Spiritual Energy as his makeshift backrest. The millennium-old freak, who looked like a beautiful teenage girl, gazed at the massive screen in front of him, currently playing an advertisement.
Two thousand years later, Carterburg seemed to have transformed into a sprawling mega-city combining commerce and tourism. Malin walked past countless shopping streets, with skyscrapers bearing the names of corporate conglomerates everywhere.
On the screen was a sheep-person, possibly one of Lillim's kids—or perhaps not. Anyway, the child was the star of the show, broadcasting this year's New Year greetings.
"A hundred years have passed since the Final War, and peace between Westland and Eastland has lasted a century. Humanity has joined hands to embark on a new journey once more. On this occasion of Eastland's New Year, I, as the son of a Carterburg civic protector, wish all Eastland-born citizens a happy New Year."
