The Wingmaer Epochs; a story of a hardy sentient being that is always evolving to survive...

Chapter 1 The Cell Evolution

The huge meteor, covered in crystal, rock and dust, flew into a Solar System, about 2,000,000,000,000km away from anything else. It had come a long way, somehow surviving a journey through the galaxy which, for it, was about to end. However, the end of the meteors journey would be the start of another journey, an evolutionary journey that would never end. The meteor only just missed getting hit by a solar flare, which the systems star, Elaron, had just fired. The meteor changed direction, because of the stars gravity, and it headed for a lifeless T0 planet, which wouldn't stay that way for long.

The meteor slammed into the planet, sending a massive shockwave over it. The pieces of the ex-meteor scattered all over the planet, but special pieces landed in the water... Deep below the sea, inside a microscopic meteor rock, particles transformed and soon a cell was born, the first ever Wingmaer cell. This cell then pushed the rock away from itself, using its flagella to propel itself through the primordial ooze. It uses its beady eyes to look for plant matter, a.k.a. food for itself.

Then, it absorbed the vital materials in the plant, like minerals, and grew over time. There were only a few Wingmaer cells though, as a lot of them could get eaten by bigger, carnivorous cells like the Chompers, but after a while, the Wingmaer cell species develop spikes, which they could use defensively or offensively.

After another brief time of adaptation and survival, the Wingmaer cells grew to the size of a 5 cent coin and had developed more flagella so they could escape predators easier, like the large Booster cell. Also, the population of the species had risen to 50 cells. Unfortunately, one of the cells got poisoned by a Squirty cell that was about the same size as the Wingmaer cells, so the cells, after some evolution, developed their own poison squirters, so that they could have a natural immunity to poisons.

The new population of 100 Wingmaer Cells also developed cilia, which enabled speed and fast turning skills. The Wingmaer Cells eventually reached the point of near intelligence and, after heaps of time eating, growing and dodging predators, the cells arrived near the coastal areas of the planet, which had evolved quite a lot faster than the Wingmaer cells, who were now roughly the size of a small human child.

Eventually, after evolving a jet to get around a lot faster, an electric sac for defence against those pesky Junior cells and defeating a frustrating and deadly epic Bloato, a Wingmaer cell had developed a brain. Who cares if the brain was the size of a pea, it was a brain!

Soon, many future generations of the Wingmaer 'cell' developed 'smarter' pea-sized brains and they had also developed arms, legs and a bird-like beak, which forced the species onto land, however, apparently only a small group of Wingmaer managed to be able to adapt enough for the change from cell to creature, since they had to breathe air...
