Within the sanctuary Zarion created the Starforge A realm of energy and matter fused into perfection Stars rose from the ground and floated like obedient servants Each core he molded pulsed with raw potential His hands shaped nebulae forging them into instruments of unimaginable power He experimented with stellar fusion pulling cores together and splitting them into smaller fragments He discovered he could manipulate gravitational waves bending them to his desires The Starforge became a testament to his growing dominion over matter and energy Each creation strengthened his body and mind His aura now enveloped entire star systems altering their paths and rotations He trained relentlessly stretching his understanding of cosmic forces learning to craft storms of energy and matter that could rival the destruction of worlds His consciousness extended across the Starforge feeling the pulse of every star and black hole Every heartbeat brought deeper insight into the laws of the universe His power now eclipsed planetary forces moving toward a level few beings could imagine Yet Zarion hungered for more than planets or stars He wanted the essence of universes themselves and the Starforge was merely the beginning of his conquest
