Title: It Had One Task
(The tentacled creature looks on, at first uncomprehending, as the door whirrs and whines and tries to open. It makes noises of alarm and pulls back against it, putting its long spiky tentacles under tension. Cracking and popping noises are heard as its noises get louder and more desperate.)
(Suddenly a loud noise of breaking and severance is heard. The creature gives a long shrill scream as it pulls its maimed tentacles back, spurting blood.)

Poor thing. It never asked for this.
Of course, there’s the question of whether it’d try to devour either of our intrepid protagonists if given a chance, but still, it’s hard not to feel bad for something when you see its appendages get torn off.

No one involved asked to be here… The world has brought them together at this point.
In a bleak alien landscape, two creatures raised from birth to be each other's enemies decide to think instead. One seeks Botaram, a place of high ideals and austere beauty; the other seeks to protect Botaram from being defiled by creatures like the first. An uneasy truce is formed amid heartbreak and broken ties, and through the ashes of their world they search for a truth that may no longer exist, abandoning friends, honor, and perhaps their lives… or worse.
