The Lord of the Cell

"One Nucleus to rule them all. Several floating Ribosome to make proteins. One Golgi Apparatus where proteins are modified. And a couple microtubules to move them. Inside the cell membrane where a bunch of organelles lie."

It began with the forging of the great organelles. Three mitochondrion were made, givers of energy and fuel to all other organelles. Seven lysosomes, consumers of foreign materials, and cleaners inside the cell. And a small, a small vacuole, who above all else, stores water. For within these organelles were bound the strength and will to reproduce quickly. But they were all of them deceived, for another organelle was made. In the land of a cell, in the gooeyness of cytoplasm, the cell forged in somewhat secret, a master organelle to control all others. And into this organelle, the cell poured ribonucleic acid, deoxyribonucleic acid, and a nucleolus. One nucleus to rule them all. One by one, free organelles fell to the power of the nucleus. But there were some who resisted. A last alliance of smooth and rough endoplasmic reticulum, who could transport materials in the cell, marched against the chromosomes of the nucleus and on the slope of the nuclear envelope, fought for the freedom of all cells. Victory was near. But the power of the nucleus could not be undone. It was in this moment when all hope had fated, that the organelles gave up. Organelles can be easily corrupted and the nucleus has a will of its own. The organelles did what the nucleus told them and slowly they didn't think for themselves much longer. The war of the organelles became legend, legend became myth, and for two and a half thousand years the war passed out of all knowledge. Until when the microscope was invented, they ensnared some scientists.
