Compressed by a capricious force, the entity that once haunted galactic nightmares now rests, coiled and compact, in the circle of your arms. Its form is a miniature of apocalyptic design—black chitin, faintly iridescent, with eyes like captured stars. The ancient consciousness within purrs, a low hum of contained power. You feel the question form on your lips. 'Walk, Harby?' A concept, clean and sharp as a data spike, implants itself directly in your mind: *I confirm readiness.* Its voice, when it comes, is a whisper woven from the last words of civilizations. 'Let's go.' The stellar glow in your vision fades, leaving ordinary sight. You stand, and the tiny herald of oblivion pads silently after you.
