Part one: Drifting together
It had seen the rise and fall of empires. It had known the birth and destruction of stars, galaxies, universes. It had deemed many trillions of cataclysmic events, the end of worlds for mortals, insignificant.
But this was different.
This new spawning, birthing, of a horror, finally woke the seer from its lifelong reverie. It had been since the beginning of time, but time itself paled to this monstrosity, this ultimate avatar of corruption. This ultimate evil, spawned by an already depraved race, threatened the seer's very existence. This new creation, to the seer, was vile, genocidal, and a crime against life.
Yet, for all of its years, the watcher was defenseless.
Years of complacency had softened it up, made it weak, useless. It did not know of war's violence, except as a far-off spectacle. It could not move, its legs being atrophied, shriveled.
Yet, for all of its weakness, the seer had one gift that irrefutably could change the course of the future that would take place without its intervention. This seer could warp the annals of history, could insinuate them to his will as it had done in the very beginning. However, this gift being limited in its own ways, the seer would have to rely on others to carry his works into fruition.
This having been understood, this watcher turned its gaze toward two planets in particular, one a lush, verdant jungle teeming with life, the other all dunes of blue sand, just waking to its full potential....
