The fight lasted for a good ten minutes before the first one won against the second. Not when an even bigger primal zerg came by and began fighting with the first large one. This primal zerg was a bit bigger than he was and so he decided to leave him alone. As he watched the pond from his hiding place he saw a larger critter came nearby. Before he left he decided to give it one more day, though he knew it was a risk, but he wanted to see what sort of meal he could get before he began his journey. Eventually he had grown to the size of a boxer dog and thus knew it was time for him to leave the area. ![]() Drinking from the water, eating from the local plants, and feeding on the other primal zergs which came about. He would stay in the area for the next few days. This was a great start, especially when added to his mouth mandibles and tail. The essence wasn't anything super special from a pure power level but it did allow him to grow four additional limbs, of the leg variety. Upon its defeat he had taken on his accumulated biomass, and useful essences. The other primal zerg fought back, not wanting to die, but his initial sneak attack caused the creature to falter and that was all that was necessary. Seconds later he took a chance and struck, biting the creature that had come into his warren. That was when he saw a body move near his bush. If not for essence than for some additional biomass. How can I benefit from this.' He knew that he needed to figure out what was out there and if it was something he could target. He knew that this wouldn't work for everything but its use on his mental abilities couldn't be ignored. That was when he realized something, even without the presence of external essence he was able to change himself. He had to pull himself back from going too far down that rabbit hole of deductions. A slight internal chuckle later as he began noticing that he was starting to make deductions between the deductions. As he was thinking he started noticing that connections and patterns were coming to him faster and quicker, and even better, than was possible before. He was doing this for a few hours when he stopped, as he felt the Essence within him flowing and changing. Not paying attention to his surroundings could have killed him. When he came out of his funk he became grateful of how he had hid himself from the troubles. It took him hours to come to terms with that but eventually he did. ![]() His next thought was where did I come from, and the concept of a Spawning Pool was what came to him. Adaptation was something that also came to him. So he had instinctively knew the concept, the word, Essence. It faded as he began thinking about the situation he was in. How he ended up here he didn't know, though he figured maybe it was like the 'next great adventure' Dumbledore had talked about in the Harry Potter books. The first thing he realized is that he must have died in the storm. This was good, he thought, as he hid in the bushes to try and figure out his new life. The second was that thorns grew from his back in such a way that attackers would get hurt from touching him. The first was his skin hardened even more, becoming tough like bark. He also found himself benefiting in two other ways, which pleased him as it meant a better chance of survival. His outer skin started shimmering as it gained the ability to absorb energy from sunlight through photosynthesis. He was now capable of absorbing water from the environment, and storing them in sacks within his body. It didn't matter at the moment he thought, what did was what it was doing to him, to his body. He knew of that, he had heard of it before, but where. He then began to change from the Essence he absorbed. As he chewed on the fruits, leaf, and bark of the tree he felt himself grow warm. His first choice was some of the plants around him, a choice that he would come to learn was not common for others of his new kind. Though there was much he didn't know, what he did know was that he was hungry. ![]() Turning from the water he slowly made his way back to the spot in the bushes that he had first woken up at. What he saw seemed to strike at his memory, as if he had seen something similar before. Moving towards the rim of the water he looked into the pool, gazing at his reflection. He had mandibles in his front with a sharp tooth filled maw. Through his tiny eyes he could see the area right around him. He was tiny, he could sense that, and low to the ground. One minute he was out in the woods camping as a storm came by and the next he was this. That the life, the world, he had known was gone. The first thing he knew when he woke up was that everything was different.
