Far beyond in the silent vastness of the Milky Way, space itself tore open with a violent rupture. Through this gaping rift, a chaotic scene emerged, a realm consumed by endless fire, cascading meteors, and shattered planets adrift in oceans of molten lava. The edges of the rip pulsed with crimson cracks, glowing like the wounds of the universe itself.

From within this infernal realm, enormous chunks of rock tumbled forward. Among them were fragments of something far more terrifying – broken pieces of a colossal being, its form so massive it dwarfed entire moons. Its body, torn apart and smouldering, fell through the breach. Then, as suddenly as it had opened, the rip sealed shut, vanishing without a trace, as if reality had simply mended its scar.

The debris hurtled forward through space, locked on a path towards a small blue world brimming with life. The moon took the first blows, absorbing some of the incoming fragments in silent sacrifice. But the bulk of the ruin rained down on the Earth, a planet alive with the thundering footsteps of dinosaurs. The sky burned red as meteors smashed into the ground, unleashing storms of fire and ash. Entire continents were scorched, the oceans boiled along their edges, and the era of the dinosaurs began to end in screams and silence.

Yet within this devastation, something unseen took root. Hidden deep within the debris lay an ancient essence, a force beyond science comprehension. As the meteors embedded themselves into the earth, the essence seeped out, weaving through the scorched lands. It infected many of the few creatures that clung to life in the aftermath, binding with them in secrecy.

For millions of years, this essence remained dormant, fading slowly as time marched on, its power diminishing with each passing era. By the time humanity emerged, only fragments of it remained, slumbering within scattered bloodlines across the world. It lay hidden, silent, and forgotten, until the final few thousand years, when its quiet pulse began to stir once more within the hearts of the few that had the essence in them.
