It did not slumber for it did not sleep, time was eternal and wakeful and so was it. It did not have gender because gender was unnecessary, its kind did not deliberately reproduce so much as they accidentally spawned. It was powerful enough that others served it, powerful enough that it did not have to serve others, but not so powerful that it could assume it was safe. So it was careful, and watchful. Which was why it noticed the call.
It was, measured against a scale of true power, a candle compared to a star. But the call tasted delicious and it sensed a potential for this candle to become a conflagration, as though it was sitting among kindling and oils, waiting for a finger to tip it over. And the call was rare. Humanity's views of its kind had changed over the passing centuries and the calls had become fewer, more violent. This sort of call had once been common and was now very, very rare. It reached out to the call, carefully following it, tasting it, listening to it. Others followed, but it consumed those foolish enough not to flee. It misdirected those that it might not be able to consume.
And then it was there. The source of the call. And it was sweet; desire for vengeance packaged with desire and promise. It reached out, stroking the call, lending a feeling of the lust and power that it was. The call loosened, slowly opening like a vagina, and it stroked some more, feeding it, caressing it, growing it until it was wide enough to allow it to pass between one world and into another. It smiled hungrily and moved into the opening.
