The Maker's Terrace
..l..
All that is indistinct eventually comes by its own definition.
He is The Primacron, ageless but aged, and he knows this truth above all else. He holds it before him like a primitive candle, an old religion, and it lights his way through the stream of time.
His identities are indefinite; indeed he has held many names. He was a creator to one, a scientist to another, and a god to more.
Because what was indefinite was yet to be determined, he knows he will wear many fluctuating faces in the futures to come. He is old, older than any memory held by any mortal. More memories and mortals will come, of course, and this too is indistinct by measure. But, like all these things that he knows too well, a time will come to bear rotten fruit.

As the first, he had the greatest responsibility of all. He was the creator of the World-Eater, and that in of itself was indefinite by definition.
He gave life and sentience to Unicron, his wayward son, and was consequently betrayed by the very thing he had piled his definitions into. What was all-powerful and made for his purposes found its own, and therein lay the dilemma.
He cannot undo his fixed folly now.
So, deep in his laboratory he works, hoping, holding his small candle aloft and praying to indistinct entities. There was never anything before him, and there will never be anything after him. Short and wizened, he will be the first and the last of his failures.
..l..
He is the Maker, the Molder, the Muse. He plays all of these roles, and is defined by them. Yet, beyond this, there are private personas only he is aware of. He knows them like he knows his son, and all are his creations. And, like the Devourer of Planets, they took on a direction of their own.
It was just as well that he was simultaneously his Jailor and Captive, and he knows this as much as he knows his unholy truth.
All that is indistinct eventually comes by its own definition.
Alone, he stirs and shuffles within the confines of his self-imposed tomb.

A/N: This is a little one-shot about Primacron, that genius fish-monkey creature that created Unicron. It's meant to stand alone, just like Primacron.
