AN: Now this is my other attempt at writing. Crossing over Worm, one of the best pieces of literature I have read, with Kill la Kill, one of the best animes I have watched. Really.
Also: Obviously don´t own anything.
Prologue
200.000 years ago – Somewhere in Ethiopia
If there were anyone with the power of thought in the small clearing, he/she would have marveled at the wonder presenting itself in the untainted deep black night-sky: Something that would have reminded that hypothetical viewer of a tremendous red glowing ball of yarn was flying towards that very clearing with great speed. Effortlessly surviving atmospheric entry and the subsequent earth-shattering impact, the sphere lay there, slightly unravelled, but otherwise unharmed and patient.
A few hours later, a curious animal neared it. After poking around in the since-settled dust, the animal comes nearer and nearer to the sphere... until it touches a red, glittering thread that had detached with the impact.
Immediately the thread wraps itself around the animal, and sensing its small reserves of energy, begins to drain it by connecting to the nervous system. The shock proves to much for the small rodent, and it dies almost immediately.
The energy gained by draining the rodent was dwarfed by the expenditure of attacking it.
The process is repeated, but always ends in failure, no matter what kind of animal is drained.
Eventually, years after the impact, a monkey-like creature approaches the sphere. This time, a different path is chosen. The fibers wrap and cover the ape. The energy gained through skincontact is neglible, but enough to sustain the fibers that now infuse the apes fur.
The host is chosen.
The fiber-infused ape wanders away from the sphere, but never quite leaves it. The sphere can easily reach and modify its primitive brain, accelerating its development, while the fibers covering the ape strengthen it so much that more of its kind flock to it. After pushing the evolution of the apes species into overdrive and thus probably ensuring its position as the dominant species on the planet, it pours its remaining energy into two objectives:
One, embedding into the psyche of every altered ape to wear clothing, and two, appointing the family of the `First Contact` as guardians, complete with knowledge about and a deep seated devotion to the Sphere, this primordial being, the Primordial Lifefiber.
After expending the last of its stores, the Primordial Lifefiber shrinks into a small, lifeless version of itself, hibernating.
Over the millennia, the seat of the Familiy often changes, its power often contested, but it always remains strong and never fails in its duty: protecting the Primordial Lifefiber, the creator of Mankind, until -
