Mitochondria, the power house of the cell...
Did you know Mitochondria actually has its own DNA, separate from its host?

Yeah? Well, did you know they have the potential to awaken and rapidly evolve, causing anywhere from incredible powers to horrific mutations in their host? Or possibly even gain sapience and seek to become the dominant form of life?

Yeah, that bit surprised me too. Especially the part where I caught on fire...

But I'm getting a little ahead of myself, aren't I? My name is Sunset Shimmer, newly awakened Neo-Mitochonria Human and the most recently recruited hunter at M.I.S.T. Being an NMH has its perks and I have an entirely new world that's mine for the taking, but I can't help but keep thinking about something I read once...

"The worst foe lies within the self..."

But I'm okay, even if part of my very cells are now technically sentient, right? I mean yeah, I'm totally okay! I have magic, I can handle it. I'll be okay...

Right?
