(Zertos III - 0850 - Entity)

It was lonely.  So lonely.  Once there were voice.  Entities to interact 
with.  Stories to tell and exchange.  Once the thoughts came and there 
was no loneliness.  But that was before.

Time had no meaning. Ephemeral's considered time, but not it.  Not  All 
that was clear that it had not heard the thoughts but its own.  It 
missed the stories.  The voices.  One by one, the voices had been 
silenced till there was nothing but its own thought.  It has replayed 
the stories over and over, but that even got tedious.  It craved new 
stories, new voices.

The Ephemeral's had showed up.  They walked on the planet, searching for 
something.  It had tried to speak with them. Learn their stories, but to 
no avail.  Their voices were silent, no matter how much it had tried to 
interact with them.  They were seeking something.  Sending strange waves 
into the planet.  They began to use things to puncture the planet.  It 
didn't understand, but tried to reach them.  It tried to keep them with it.

The first sign of something being wrong was an ephemeral ceased to be. 
Then another and a third.  It mourned the loss of stories it had not 
heard before.  It even tried to help the ephermerals.

Then there was nothing again.  It was alone.

Till it sensed another group of ephemeral's arrived.  These were 
different than the first group.  The first group had been all the same, 
but these were all different.  It got excited again as it began to learn 
more about them.

These ephemerals came to the place where the others had ceased to be. 
Some of the new ephemerals were like the old ones, while others were 
very different.  It was surprised as it could hear some of these new 
arrivals.  The stories were disjointed and confusing, but that was ok. 
Here, now, maybe it could finally interact with them and learn their 
stories.  It slowly reached out to one of the new ephemerals.
