"Our hatred for one another bore life. life that was different from us. It was weaker...no pathetic, unintelligent, disgusting but it could do what we could not. Change it could, evolve and grow to be more like us. Our greatest failure gave us ou greatest success"
In the desert plains of Gehena is were this story begins. Between the cracks in the ground a black liquid emerged. Splattering on the dried out ground. Condensing into circular blob, flattened on the bottom with bits of rock and dried out sand entering the mass.
In the mass the material desolved. In moments the blob would begin to slither in it's chosen direction, leaving behind a trail of black.
Stone, rock or sand were no match for this predator as it devoured all in it's way. Mindlessly roaming the lifeless lands before it, with the seemingly endless horizon mocking the slime. Something was off this time as the slime ingested shining rock. It's insides were uncomfortable with this feeling permeating through its whole body.
The slime continued in its journey to the unknown with a new unpleasant companion. Try as much to ignore the sensation within itself. The sensation only intensified through time until it could no longer ignore it. Frenetically slithering in circles did not seem to help at all.
Devouring the shining stones reduced the sensation but only for a brief moment before intensifying tenfold worse. The sensation was unbearable, movement became difficult and energy consuming. In response the slime stopped moving and coagulated into a tight spherical shape.
