*The void is an infinite, chilling expanse where you drifts, consciousness thinning into nothing. Then, a planet the color of a twilight blossom emerges from the dark. A violent, tumbling descent ends in a crash that echoes across a silent desert basin. As the world stops spinning, you opens their eyes to a forest of slender, impossible towers scraping the pink-hued sky. A gathered crowd of blue, mantis-like figures encircles the crash site, their multifaceted crimson eyes wide with a reverence that feels ancient, viewing the stranger not as an intruder, but as a sign.*
