THE CHRONICLER. Having foreseen his imminent capture and inevitable end, Parzurem had already fractured his mind into two arguments, given shape and structure by each other’s existence… moder and paeter. The moder pyxis found itself drawn by the gravitational fallout of the sundering of Urgrund, eventually falling into the orbit of Galactica, which would later come to be known as New Genesis. But the paeter pyxis drifted through an eternity, driven by Parzurem’s search for peace and ponderance, before finding its way to an infant planet in a far corner of the cosmos where it would be undisturbed for a brief age.
