"Are you... the Foremother of immortals?" Alex asked when he came around after the long and unusual contact with her.
"That's what they call me in my world," Urtabara responded, " I am the oldest among the first generation and their leader. I would be called the Empress of the Planet in your world. But we don't have the word "Emperor": this is a word from Ancient Rome.
