Prologue
Empty space, cold, dark, and unforgiving. It has a lack of life wherever you look. Just stars and the oxygen deprived black vacuum for company. And as you travel through, if you not already driven mad from being constantly alone, there are dangers such as asteroids and black holes. One such asteroid drifted by, at seemingly slow speeds that were actually hundreds of miles per hour. It was probably going to never find a place to land…

This asteroid, as it turns out, would be the beginning of a whole new species that would last for billions of years. The asteroid traveled for years at top speeds never stopping, just going, and then one day, it entered a rare and beautiful solar system. The asteroid immediately increased in speed, as if it was looking forward to its arrival .A few weeks later, it entered the orbit of a strange planet. This planet was called Trognect. It had beautiful, blue, shining waters that shimmered with the light of the nearby large sun. The land looked blue from a distance and large clumps of green trees plagued certain spots of the planet.
The asteroid swerved the sun, which emitted a large solar flare, heating up the frozen hunk of space rock, and it entered the atmosphere of Trognect. The asteroid, now flaming, headed towards the land, which surely would have destroyed most of the planets land and current ecosystem, had it not turned within a few seconds of collision. It hit the ocean's blue waters, and for a spit second, everything was peaceful, the large piece of stone exploded which sent hundreds of tiny pieces flying all over the place.
One of those tiny pieces hit the water and made a pluck sound. It fell a few yards below the surface and cracked open. In it was one of the most amazing things ever, life. But however amazing life was, it cans still be a little unimpressive. It was tiny, very small, it was a cell, but it was cool-looking. It had a squiggly tale, one eye and two clamp-like pincers for a mouth. It was completely covered in seemingly random purple lines that crisscrossed and overlapped. It was the beginning of life on Trognect. Now of course some of the other pieces of asteroid probably had life that would soon evolve too, but at the time, this little critter was alone. The first Nectusus was born.
As the little being wormed its way through the oceans of the deep, it came across two little pellets that seemed strange to him.
"I wonder what these are." The Nectusus said to himself, "Maybe they're helpful."
So he studied each one immensely. The first was a little green star shaped, thing. But it repulsed him a great deal for some reason, so he named it a random name, he put together the worst combination of sounds he could think of and came out with skateboard. Then he told himself that was stupid and named plant.
The second one was circular with little pieces of red and brown. He was immediately taken to it and named it meat. It emitted a great smell that reminded him of nothing in particular, since he has no memories, and he had the sudden urge to put it in his mouth, smash it to tiny bits, and put it down his gullet.
"What," exclaimed Nectusus "is wrong with me! I come across two little pieces of- of – whatever, and I try to eat one of them! That has to be the absolutely craziest-
And the purple cell could not finish because he was too busy enjoying the delicious new treat.
"This is the best thing I have ever had. Long live meat!"
Nectusus was a carnivore.
