Before The Maw called upon him, before entire systems ever winced at the murmur of his name, before those whispers bled through metal marking the reach of the maw—Grynsi was a pathfinder. An exploration pilot aboard The Threnody Black, a vessel tasked with charting the edges of known space designated "The Black".
The logs cut off near an anomaly—nothing special, just another whispering star beyond the reach of charted lanes. But The Maw was waiting there. It wasn't a place. It was an awareness. A hunger.
As the crew prayed, Grynsi listened.
When a retrieval crew arrived, there was no survivors. Only a ship transformed—a cathedral of rust and flesh. Hull plating peeled back like petals, The Threnody Black had been transformed—and its pilot no longer answered to his name alone.
Grynsi became the first Mawcaller—not a leader, but Case Zero of the infection known as The Maw. What returned in his place was a presence, known now by wreckage, whispers, and grinning insignias carved into hulls.
