Welcome to Legends of Aventress. I'm Pike and you're listening to Stardust Rhapsody. Here's what happened last time.

I feel a little off. Oh gosh, was that stuff in the ice?

I am somehow attached to this planet thing. I can feed on this planet.

We've got a serious problem.

I just passed overhead of the temple that we left before.

There seems to be a black river flowing from the ruins of the temple.

I neutralized the creatures, the accord.

What happens when you become more of that stuff than you are of your stuff?

Well, gang, it looks like you can't get anything done without me.

Here's to my fans.

Does anybody else feel that?

Are you all right?

Yeah, they're just visions.

It's not real, it can't be.

As we get closer to whatever is at the core of this, things can get a little weird.

The water falls from the ceiling, and you realize as you move closer that it's not striking the ground,

it's striking an enormous sea of black water.

The surface, completely undisturbed, as the droplets fall.

A chill creeps up your spine.

Space.

You know they say that every life is a note in the music of existence?

Well, like any song, there's that first chord.
