Something streaked across the night sky. An ancient creature slept within. Dreaming of what has been, and what will be. Drawn to this world by what it has seen, it decided to investigate it personally, rather than let its children handle the matter.
He was drawn to these creatures' spirits, those who believed he could defy him. They believed themselves safe but it's sight was more powerful than theirs, it knew where to find them, but gaining access to their sanctuary was another entirely. Sifting through the strands of fate it found those who would lead it to them. These souls were protected, but it didn't need them, not yet. It just needed what they have. Nothing more.
Its vessel crashed into the planet's surface not far from the city where they live. It woke up.
