Immensity
In the end Jenova won; thousands of years later she was rediscovered, only this time the people were not as fortunate as the last, and so she ate the life blood of the planet, sparing her sons' soul and reanimating him a new body of his own. She had been impressed with his resistance to her call and his individuality, using the powers given he forged his own path to domination though ultimately he lost to Cloud and his crew. Still he was completely different to any puppet she had ever had. He was her only legacy, a true child born by unconventional means and irrevocably hers. Thus attachment grew, not completely affection or love, but something close. In the final days of Gaia, she took hold of his tiny hands, watching as the world crumbled "You will be a calamity of your own right," She whispered in a language unlike any other, "Soon you will once again grow into your powers, though different, for there is more that flows in your soul."
They left the barren wasteland were no life could ever grow, traveling through the new universe with no ship but just their bodies, Jenova flew, "We are a singularity unlike any other."
"Are there others? Like you?" He asked.
"No, twas only me, but now there is you."
"How did you come to be?"
"Even that, I could not tell you child, I woke from the dark pits of the universe, hungry. Innately I already knew what I could do, what I needed to do, but you may not be tied to the same chains of purpose I am." She told him blankly, "And as I travelled and grew, so did my powers. Thousands of life blood I have eaten, thousands of more will, for I am immortal and I hunger."
He wasn't sure how long they have travelled, nor how far but eventually they ended up in a galaxy so different from what he knew, here there was no stars or planets he could name. Through it all she whispered to him.
"It will take you millions of years before you can utilize your own powers to my level." She said softly, as they landed on a new planet, one with life. "Even then, you are still different from me; in time we will see how different."
Jenova leveled herself down so they were now eye level, "Prosper and survive, child, for I cannot teach you; you must learn on your own"
"Why do you not stay and eat here?" He inquired, though as he looked at the grassland.
"Too close…Too many," She told him, standing straight with a far off look to her glowing eyes.
"Too many and too close to what?"
"This galaxy his far more advance, each solar system is occupied with life and these life forms are knowledgeable of each other and tied together. They will be curious of an entire planets' life forms demise and send words of warning to others."
"Like cities…countries but in galactic scale?"
"Yes, it will be better to work on solitary life forms, less fighting." With one of her winged appendages she tiled his head to look directly into his eyes "There is something else here…But this will be a good place for you to start. Goodbye child."
He watch her fade into the sky, he could still feel her presences in his mind, but muted, perhaps because of the distance. With a final glance, he trudged away, the heat of the sun beating down his back and the wind providing cool relief; he wasn't sure where he was headed, but he had in inkling in his mind. Hopefully civilization was not too far away.
