Chương 245: Remembering Dendrus

Eva and Miko both listened intently as the gaunt old man spoke on their terminal. Eva in particular was a little bit awestruck by him. Not just in what he was recounting, but his age.

He was, by galactic standards, 130 years old. If he was back from her time, back on her Earth, he would have been something like 410 years old. And although there were rare occasions when people lived past 100 in her time, she could still barely believe it.

And what was worse was that he barely looked a day over 80. His age utterly screwed with her sense of time. She imagined that people his age would be shriveled up and hunched over. Barely able to move and walk by themselves, crippled by the effects of time.

But she had never seen a single such person in the new universe, and this old man was literally the oldest person she had met thus far. Yet he was surprisingly strong for his age. He moved around with relative ease and grace, with only a minute amount of doddering.
