a red trail in the sky falls to the world below, coming from some other dimension bearing some unholy seed to plant into a host. it crashes into the ground with a loud explosive thump. but it fell deep in the forest, far from anyone who would hear it. many other stars like it are falling from the sky raining down on the earth below. but this one will lay dormant for a very very long time.
things arent going as planned
many many years later. an uncountable number, a time so long into the future that everyone who once remembered the old world is now long gone. and there children after them is also gone. so long that the plains that it layed in where now a mountain range with its crater in the middle covered up in a half sealed ravine chamber cave, that trees around it mutated and tainted withering and festering to monsterous fleshlike metal structures protecting the pod.
strange symbols aligned the ground around the grass a dark circle with red sap colored like blood filled the small pond the pod was resting in it was flowers vines and lily pads and around that many thin layers of shallow water rings with flowers on them with a symbol on each like it was some arcane circle of living dead metal plants. the water glowed a bluish green and the cave was wet and humid.
a disturbance the cave hasnt felt in years. a rope descended from the opening on the steep sloping walls of the cavern. someone was descending down. the pod if it could talk has waited eons for this moment. its saviour. its host. a predator could never feel so famished for its prey. normally it wouldnt feel any remorse but. today after many eons of waiting it was thankful. if it could cry it would cry with tears of joy. someone has finally found me.
