The Forgotten Prologue - Knowledge

Prologue – Knowledge

For an uncountable amount of time, hidden away in one of the most isolated corners of space, lived the being. A gargantuan creation, several times larger than any sun, living in complete isolation in its own corner of the galaxy, neither heard nor seen of. For several millennia, the great eldritch being lived entirely by itself, completely oblivious to the rest of the universe. It had never considered the thought of the existence of anything other than itself, and it would have likely remained that way until its complete disappearance with the rest of the universe.

It would search, it would understand, and it would find a place for itself in this vast, incomprehensible universe. Slowly, it expanded its influence to itself, creating a slow, rotation movement. After several thousand years it had finally gained enough momentum, and shattered itself, spreading its pieces into all possible directions throughout the galaxy. Each small part of the original being, microscopic in comparison but still monstrously large, began to sweep through the galaxy, marveling upon the grand majesty that was the creation.

Now…

If would finally understand…
