The Comet

The Comet

In book: X History

VOL. 1. - THE COMET

 

In the before-times, many kinds of creatures lived on our beautiful planet, X, in peace and harmony. This all changed when the comet struck. 

This comet carried countless microscopic spores from another planet, that it had crashed into on the way to X. (Fun fact: scientists speculate that the initial impact with this planet kept X from being destroyed!) 

From these spores sprouted Budlings, a sentient, alien, fungus-like creature. They rapidly spread throughout X’s ecosystem, infecting any intelligent living creature. (See Vol. 2 - Infection) 

The comet struck in Radix City, which is now a barren wasteland. The crater can still be visited, but it’s seen as taboo to go to Radix at all, let alone the impact site. It’s said that no life can live around the city anymore, but most are convinced something is lurking there.
