Chapter 1: The Origin.
the king was born into darkness.
it took the shape of a pearl, and observed. learned. for years, centuries, eons.
over the thousands of years. the king found an animal it found dear to itself. a raccoon.
for once, it yearned to interact with it, so it took it's shape and awkwardly waddled towards it. unable to properly control the body it took for itself yet.
the king did not yet understand it's power, but it did not care.
the king tried to interact with the raccoon, but the raccoon got spooked by the weird presence the king has, the weird movement that give clear the fact that it is not natural.
the king, having realized it's mistake. decides to train itself into better controlling it's new body. as it thought of it, information flooded it's mind. information of how to control it's body, on the habits and even the language of the raccoons.
the king was frightened by the sudden surge of information. it looked around, trying to find the source of such unnatural surge of knowledge, it found none.
the king decided to embrace it. as it did, it managed to perfectly imitate the raccoons, almost as if it is one.
