They were the ones forgotten, they were the ones people pretended did n't exist. In truth, they were here long before us. It all started trillions of years ago, when a life form from several light-years away landed on a plant he dubbed `` Earth''. 
 
 He was that of a self-producing species, so he quickly started his own family, which soon expanded into millions quite quickly.
