An unnamed planet floating in the universe, teeming with life and so much untapped potential. Sounds a bit like prehistoric Earth, right? It almost is... but also isn't. The life is uncannily earthlike, as are the seasons. However, no intelligent life is here - only beasts, mindless creatures.
Until the fateful night when a heavy storm rocked the area.
The sky split with lightning, thunder tailing faithfully after it. The ground was pelted with rain, and waterways swelled with the onslaught. It seemed as if the whole world would drown...
A single lightning strike managed to hit a lake, and this put in motion a chain reaction. Just as Frankenstein was given artificial life from lightning, a new species was born from the mud, clay, grass and pebbles. They are the first omnivores, the first beasts to eat both plant and animal. But, more importantly, they are the first and only intelligent animal in this world.
A newborn species, in a strange new world, is where you come in. Taking the form of one of these new creatures, known as the sabos (singular sabo), your fate is uncertain. Will your sabo die in obscurity, with only their offspring to survive them - or will they die a legacy, and perhaps even become a revered spirit in the far future...?
