Galahendrix, Harbinger of Entropy - By PengoSolvent
Mortals often wonder what happens to worlds when all life is depleted. When humanity dies, plants whither, and everything turns to dust, a cosmic entity is born. Even worlds have fates that reach the ends of their cycles and entropy will reign supreme. These manifestations of decay and undoing wander these empty worlds causing them to erode, collapse, and implode. They return to stardust and other cosmic resources to begin the cycle anew.
However, when a world's time it thrown off it's celestial time, one of these harbingers is created. Due to the spellplague caused by the seal being broken on The Well, one of the many distortions of Zambrios was in fact the world's time being thrown off of its axis. With the godforsaken world condemned, Galahendrix was born. They spent their days wandering and traveling the world trying to find purpose and meaning. They would weave their magic to create small stars and constellations that they would see in their dreams. However, they quickly found out their tail caused severe distortions and unpredictable reactions upon contact.
The harbinger became very shy and timid not wanting to harm anyone. But the loneliness would only escalate their entropic impulses. Their adventures always ended in catastrophe and despair. All hope was lost and soon the harbinger would succumb to ruining Zambrios. Until one day, they were found by a kind old skunk named Ebony. She saw the crying cosmic being curled up not too far off the beaten path. Galahendrix warned the lady to stay back, that they were an ill omen. Ebony simply smiled reaching to wipe away their tears only to assure them that she was quite familiar with ill omens and misfortune. She lost her husband, daughter, and son to unfortunate events outside of her control. Her resolve was so radiant and welcoming that the harbinger felt something they always desired. A friend.
