In some far off corner of space so far from Earth it might as well exist in another time, there drifts the dormant starpod of the great and powerful Islagruth the Exterminator.
He sleeps, waiting for the Call to wake him. It is a duty he can't help but resent despite the awesome power it grants him. If he could he'd trade it all to go back to what it was like before the burden of ridding the universe of apocalyptic space-vermin was thrust upon him.
He dreamed of his peaceful life during the halcyon days before he was bonded with the shape-shifting bio-armor that imprisoned him.
Islagruth always felt drawn to the beauty of the Great Hedron. Eventually he came to learn that it wasn't its beauty that called to him, but his own destiny.
Islagruth was a romantic. His thoughts always returned to the mathematical beauty of his home world, Yasagrgl (which translates to “The tree whose roots touch all”) with a sense of longing in his heart. Not just for the sights and the places but the people as well. One in particular. He had always hoped that one day he would return to bask in the energies of the Great Hedron with his lover.
Romantic relationships with other being was always discouraged among exterminators.
As a youth, vibrant and high on life, he let himself fall in love. It happened the moment he realized that Leeazyuh (Another of Yasagrgl's last generation of sons) was the only thing in the universe that he found to be more beautiful then the Great Hedron itself.
He was always kind of in denial about the coming of the day of conscription.
The two of them would sit on the soft turquoise grass atop one of the many cliffs overlooking the shimmering purple sea of Yawlsgruh, where the incandescent tendrils of the atmosphere jellies can be seen dancing underneath the Great Hedron during the morning hours.
They would silently watch as the Great Hedron would pollinate the towering plant-stalks rising out of the water with its data lightning, their long fingers interlocked, blissfully enjoying what their lives had become since finding each other.
"What troubles you?” Leeazyuh asked, feeling Islagruth's calm begin to drift away.
“It's this...feeling. I now look upon The Great Hedron with a feeling of dread, for I fear that it shall soon call upon me.” Islagruth replied, his gaze now fixed on the ancient geometrically perfect supercomputer floating low in the planet's atmosphere for all to see and revel in its glory.
“We are together now. This moment always has been and always shall be.” he would remind him as he'd snuggle up close, resting his head against Islagruth's chest.
“You are right of course. The Great Hedron may take me into conscription, but this moment will always be my reward.” his sleeping mouth muttered as he drifted through space.
