Istaria... a planet long forgotten deep in the vast universe ('cause technically you can't be on the edge of space), once filled with life.
The planet was rich a vibrant with life, teeming with energy... Though, the life on this planet had seemed to be becoming quickly extinct, destroyed and deterred by an ancient threat...

  A ruined city stands atop a deep blue oasis of Sand, the peaks of the white towers crumpling under years of neglect. The remaining foliage covered the once pristine city. The largest building that still remained, was the space-port once buzzing with life; now nothing but an empty shell. A shuttle-craft stood upon the old landing bay, it's once regal paint now faded. A large animal clambered atop the shuttle. A Scark, an almost lizard-like animal that hunted alone, it's six legs crunched the overgrown vines as it walked forward down the bonnet of the shuttle.

  Near the outskirts stood a large tower, what looked to be an observatory but wasn't. Three large oblong barrels aimed towards the sky, the highest barrel had been stripped in the strangest manner. Pieces of the metal had been stripped away not by time but by tooth and claw. The bottom most barrel seemed unscathed, still glowing with energy hungry to fire.

  A great River ran through the city centre, overlapped by crumbling silver bridges. Leading south it flowed out into a small reservoir of water with a crystalline red surface, barely rippling as it flowed through the cracks in the ancient dam. A great shadow fell across the lake, followed by frightened chitters from animals.

  A great beast landed at the waters edge, it's clawed feet gripped onto the dam beneath the colossus. This monstrosity had a name the Ghidoron, it's two huge raptor-like heads swivelled separately, hunting for prey. It's twin pair of snake eyes searched, probing the environment, taking in every single detail. Both of the beast's jaws contained three rows of serrated teeth, capable of tearing flesh from the bone. The Ghidoron flapped it's wings, almost triumphantly as it saw prey.
a simple description of the planet Istartia a world i use for one of my main OC's he is the last survivor of a race long since dead forced into immortality by and adversary more powerful than himself to battle till the end of days.
