《Indomitable Marvel》(Prologue) Acanti
Advertisement
The Acanti is an ancient billion-year-old space-bound species, who have been around as long as life has existed in the universe, roaming the cosmos in search of knowledge and singing to the stars. A race with pure souls that harm no one, when Acanti die they hurl themselves into the core of a star, releasing their soul. The Prophet-Singer among the Acanti is the caretaker of the racial soul to which all Acanti are bound. When a Prophet-Singer dies and releases its soul, it passes on to the next Prophet-Singer.
The Acanti were among the first lifeforms to develop in the cosmos and were the first curious sentients. They roamed space passively in the pursuit of knowledge.
The Acanti roughly resemble whales. They are a reddish-brown color. They have dorsal, ventral, lateral, and caudal fins, as well as green eyes widely spaced on their heads. The Acanti are large space-faring creatures most closely resembling Earth's whale shark. An adult Acanti can grow to a few kilometers in length, and even an infant is large enough to swallow a 15-person spaceship with room to take in at least four more. They are sentient creatures that communicate through psionic sounds referred to as songs. Acanti have the innate ability to fly faster than the speed of light, without technological assistance.
The Acanti are an ancient species that peacefully wandered through space, benevolent and compassionate by nature.
This would be their downfall, used and abused throughout the eons until finally wiped out.
The last Prophet singer's soul managed to escape its species immediate extinction but with no other Acanti or new generation of prophet singers to receive its soul, it was only a matter of time before it disappeared.
It couldn't understand why this happened, they were a peaceful race that only traveled to seek new knowledge, yet at every turn, they were besieged by greedy evil maniacal beings of all types.

The constant abuse did nothing to change their peaceful nature, the only truly peaceful species around.
It wasn't possible for them to change and so they were at the mercy of all those who wished to cause them harm, unable to go against their peaceful nature.
But something changed in the Prophet singer that day when it bared witnessed to the extinction of his kind.
The Prophet singer, the one where all the others were bound was able to think on a more personal level in order to lead.
The extinction finally snapped a string that prevented them from ever fighting back, it was no longer about peace, they had to survive, He the leader had to save his people.
With the vast knowledge at his disposal, The Prophet singer zoomed across the cosmos searching for its species last salvation, the time stone.
Acanti can travel faster than light, but an Acanti's soul can travel faster still, no one was the wiser when it breached all defenses and entered the stone.
Traveling through time it was sent back many years before the events that would lead his species to extinction, now all he had to do was find a vessel.
It had to be a vessel near where the greatest event would take place when all the stones were present on or around Earth.
The vessel had to be near death so it could have a chance at succeeding with integrating its self with the new host, the host also had to be powerful, able to withstand the change of its immense soul power and knowledge.
This was a huge gamble, the prophet singer knew it would likely fail, the chances of integrating with a foreign host species are improbable but being desperate it would force the chance.
If it couldn't succeed it would try it's best to save whoever the host is and try to at least imprint the quest to save its species.
So it headed to the only species close enough to earth and strong enough to attempt to meld with, it headed to Asgard.
