Formless, drifting through space aimlessly allowing the tides of gravity to pull it to and fro; it had no sense of time. It had no sense of dimensions. It existed in and out of both. It had no understanding of how long it had wondered or how long it had been from the last time it had perceived one of its own. It simply was and it wandered, longing.

The concept of that burst a pulse of energy through its form, making its color shift to a hue of pale blue for a moment. Amusement; something it hadn’t felt in a while.

It paused its travel and perceived the world it was near, the fifth in this system. Mostly made of all base elements, gaseous, the largest planetary body in this system; yet life existed in its crushing depths. It knew as
