Daniel Arenson: The Heirs of Earth (Children of Earthrise Book 1)

They both raised their fists, about to fight, then embraced again. They sat quietly, gazing at the pale blue pixel.

"You know," Rowan said, "it takes the light thousands of years to travel here from Earth. The Earth on our monitor—the Earth we're looking at right now—is the Earth from thousands of years back. From before the aliens destroyed it. Before we were exiled. It's the world from the Earthstone—of movies, books, music, life."

"A memory," Bay said. "A ghost from the past."

"Yes." Rowan nodded. "But also a promise. A promise that we can go back. That we can rebuild, renew, restore." She turned toward him. "We can recreate Earth, Bay. Our cultural heritage. Our world. It's there waiting for us, calling us home."

"Calling us home," he repeated softly.

She leaned her head on his shoulder, nestling close. He placed his arm around her and stroked her hair. Their world was still far. There were still many dangers on the way, still battles to fight, still horrors to face. But there was hope. There was light. There was a pale blue pixel and a sacred vow. There was Earth, and she was shining from across the darkness, calling them home.

The story continues in A Memory of Earth ( Children of Earthrise II ).
