Migration

The Migration was a harsh time for us. I was but a few hundred years old at the time, barely a child, and I was forced into dimensional brain travel. Because of my ability to read the Tha'nuk plates at a young age, I was considered a genius, and they felt they would need me at a later time. As the towers of our former planet fell, and the bodies of my mates and superiors fell limp, I felt a pull; A tug at my mind. I saw a world covered in green and blue, inhabited by beings I had only psyched about in the plates of the old informatory in Fel Sitch.
They were tall, possibly two liths high. They had red and oily skin, alien to my then current form's thaen shell. A small dome with what I assumed were sensory organs lined around it sat upon a small neck. Two arms with the sharpest form of natural weaponry laid on the sides of their central-most point, where the hardened cone of their bodies met where I suspected their sensory tube went. They had a set of pipes affixed another neck which made no biological sense of anything on a species I had ever seen. These were truly strange beings, and I was to inhabit one of them.
As my vision refocused on this strange new world, and the memory of my old home faded, I felt alone. If any other of my species had made it through to their hosts, I didn't know it, nor knew any way to tell.
