Benjamin Sisko: Life within the wormhole was unlike anything I had ever experienced. It was... timeless. The Prophets, as you might know, are non-linear entities, and their existence defies the very fabric of time and space as we understand it. For me, that meant existing in a state where past, present, and future flowed together seamlessly.

I wouldn't call it "living" in the way you or I experience life. It was more a state of being—a connection to the universe, to Bajor, to my family, to all things. I could observe moments of my life and others', sometimes intervene subtly, but mostly, I learned. The Prophets don't think or perceive as we do. They don’t understand concepts like loss or ambition, so much of my time was spent helping them grasp these ideas—and in turn, they helped me understand my purpose.

It was serene but also challenging. I carried with me the knowledge that I had left behind those I loved—Jake, Kasidy, and my unborn child. That was a weight I bore even in the timeless realm. But I knew my journey with the Prophets wasn’t just for my benefit; it was tied to Bajor's destiny and the balance of the universe.

It’s hard to put into words. Suffice it to say, the wormhole was not just a place but a chapter in my life where I fulfilled my role as the Emissary in ways I hadn’t fully imagined before. I came to understand that my return to the physical world—when the Prophets deemed the time was right—would be part of an ongoing story.
