Chapter 1: Eincells secret

“ I have already understood, in this early part of my life, that power of information is immense”, was how Eincell had started to convince Rustcell, half an hour ago.

Eincell, though very young, is still the most intelligent cell in the most intelligent organ of the most intelligent organism on earth. He is prolific in his thoughts and crystal clear in his logic. So much so that, he proved to himself, yesterday, that even though he is the most intelligent cell in the brain of the most intelligent human being, he may still not be the most intelligent cell alive.

He ingeniously reasoned that there may exist a more intelligent cell in the foot of an owl, for all he knows, but that cell will never be discovered because of poor representation of the organ and the species , to which it belongs, as a whole.

He cherished epiphanies like this one, which made him feel wiser,  yet at the same time humbled him.

One thing is sure though. Eincell was the most inquisitive cell, not just in his time, but the most curious and adventurous one since Pronu. Probably, the reason why Rustcell, was drawn to this young cell, was because he saw a reflection of Pronu in him.

Eincell was trying to get Rustcell on board of a secret project he had developed. He guaranteed  that , Rustcell would be impressed by what he saw. Rustcell, though pretending that he was not convinced, was dying to see Eincell’s demo. Rustcell, was old and really dying too. He, was from the times, when it was believed that the number of words allotted to each cell were limited and once they run out of them , they die. Rustcell knew that though most were not received well, he had spoken far too many, and must be nearing the end of his Quota.

Eincell was convinced that he wanted to take this journey with Rustcell. Not many seeking their origins, are lucky to have the oldest living cell in the organism, who is also an established historian, in their vicinity. Eincell was not going to let Rustcell say no.

After an hour and a lifetime worth of words showered by Eincell on him, Rustcell , with a slight elongation and upward bend of his body, ( which in cell body language is equivalent of a smile) said ,” Hell Well”
