Lend me your eyes, oh reader mine... Long ago, near the bottom of the Universe my body washed up on to a forgotten shore. It's physical form had perished but the Ego inside was strong enough to commune with the one who found my segmented body, the father of Aurash, who would become Auryex and eventually King. After my holder was betrayed by Taox and his knights, the eldest offspring, the Lone Navigator seized the opportunity to carry me, and tend to my council. I wheedled and guided Aurash and the other two sisters to a ship capable of burrowing through the base of the Fundament, to move beyond their reality before the Syzygy and the resulting tidal wave smashed their reality... As soon as they agreed to take me and mine into themselves, and allow our larvae to breed and feed on the Needle, their Destiny was sealed. Nature and Ego took its course, and a Universe was set to suffer as often and varied as possible. Only the strong are fit to exist... and aren't you the strongest of all, oh Guardian mine?
