The boat, crafted from bone, shot out through the aperture in the sky, plunging into the vast expanse of space.
Before Ethan and Lana Mokos could catch their breath, they were struck anew by the sheer enormity of the spectacle before them.
A true leviathan loomed.
It resembled a fish, gracefully gliding through the boundless starlit void.
Moreover, it seemed sentient, nimbly dodging any planet in its path.
Yet more often than not, this creature, as vast as a planet itself, would hover near the stars as if in a deep slumber.
And then, in a sudden awakening, it would open its colossal maw and draw a star toward it with a single inhalation.
Under the influence of a peculiar magical force, every living being within that star would be drained away.
Subsequently, the star would turn desolate -- a dead celestial body void of any life.
This was the very scene Ethan and Lana Mokos witnessed upon their emergence.
