Observing for an immeasurable amount of time, the Entity was greatly intrigued by this one animate thing. It did things, reacted to those around it, and fascinated the Entity. Then the unthinkable... It was killed by a different thing, unable to save itself. It... Died, and was gone forever. This other 'cell' was evil, a threat to This One's thirst for knowledge, and safety. This One found this unacceptable, and would not allow it to happen again. With all it's power, it manifested new codes, and adapted the ones that it could, modifying them and hoping many were not failures.

Eventually, after much trial and error, This One found the solution: It would hide from The Evil, and find paradise in which the other cells would not dare to follow. With this success, This One's subjects were drawn to the depths, living in absolute darkness, where not even the Tiny Things could live. The Subjects lived off the heat of the molten rock, occasionally drifting upwards in times of stress, and were safe. For now.
