13 Mars and Ares
The vacuum of space wraps itself around me, making me feel like a baby swaddled in a cloth. It feels innocent and freeing, yet safe and secure. It feels exhilarating and calming. It feels like I belong.
Me and Remy fly through space, admiring the view. Our destination is Mars. mainly because of the calling me and Remy are feeling from it. I feel like I can do something with it, while Remy feels like it may be her home. Titan energy works in mysterious ways. For example, the dark matter in space is just another form of titan energy which I can use to travel at the speed of light if I so desire. It also sends signals to titans to dictate their homes. I feel no such connection to anywhere yet. I think Remy may have been chosen as Mars' alpha titan, much like Godzilla being chosen to be Earths. I also feel a connection with Mars, but it's more of a… Inappropriate relationship.
For lack of a better term, it feels like I should impregnate Mars. UGH! I HATED THAT!
…
And I just thought of a better term. Terraforming.
Anyways…
Me and Remy allow ourselves to float through space for several years, enjoying eachothers company. I hold her head in my chest and rub her hair. Honestly, I wish I could be more of a mother to her… I feel that becoming a Titan has turned me more animalistic.
Instead of relying on logic, I feel like I rely more on instinct. I can feel that I will have to leave her soon after we arrive on mars and finish terraforming it… But the human side of me hates the idea of leaving such a sweet girl alone.
Maybe I'll make her a sister. Then at least she won't be alone.
We floated together in the void of space for about ten years, as I had already pre planned our course and knew that we would make it there. This gave me sufficient time to spoil her by feeding her residual titan energy that I give off, as well as teach her right from wrong. She never got over her lovey and touchy nature though, which kind of makes me happy.
We eventually land on the red marble and cause a few marsquakes. Remy rubs her face on the surface of mars and cuddles it like she does with me. It seems it really was calling for her. The titan energy of mars feels… Cleaner and more innocent than earths. Earths felt more like a warriors, hardened by battle for millenia. Mars' felt like a little kid who just saw their best friend after being apart for so long.
I leave her alone to cuddle with mars and notice her releasing trace amounts of titan energy all on her own. It seems that she's already unconsciously terraforming the red marble. I decide to just let her do her thing and I create her sibling. I'm going for red hair to match the whole Mars aesthetic and I've already decided on a name…
Ares.
[CENSORED]
Fug. Why can't laying eggs be less disgusting?
Anyways, the red egg sits in a nest of silk I made beforehand. I sit on the egg for half a year and then get off like I had to with Remy… But… This egg is even smaller than Remy's?
Just one question
…
…..
....
how
....
…..
…
Now that that's out of the way, the egg's about to hatch. Remy speeds over as soon as possible. She walks over by me and lays on her stomach. She puts her hands under her chin in a V shape and kicks her feet back and forth.
Her titan energy has completely melded with Mars'. The two have become one. The past few months have been great for Mars. Her energy has caused an atmosphere to develop on it, similar to earth around the time the proto dinosaurs were da big bois. Mars is also developing a hollow shell for titans, with several portals developing naturally as we sit here.
*crack*
A piece of the shell falls off.
*woo*
*woom*
*woOOm*
*WOO*
"FUCK!"
I grab Remy and yank her out of the way just in time before a blue beam shoots out, destroying the shell. I look at what kind of little demon would do this and see…
A little red haired version of me with an aloof expression on its face staring at me with her mouth a little open.
*cough*
As she lets out a little cough, a small blue flame comes from her mouth.
"I'm sorry. I didn't feel like pulling the shell away."
She talks and has the voice of a child. Which she is… Technically…
Remy runs over and picks Ares up like Rafiki does Simba. She spins in circles while letting out a high pitched screech.
"AHHHHHH! OHMYGOSHOHMYGOSHOHMYGOSH! YOU'RE SO CUUUUUUTE!"
Ares nods her head and says,
"Well we are clones of mommy, so of course I would be cute."
I ignore the comment and walk over to her.
"Your name is Ares."
Ares nods her head and stares me in the eyes a little expectantly. I reach forward and rub her head. She melts into my hand slightly and closes her eyes.
The next few years were spent messing with humanity by playing with the rovers, respectfully of course as they're good bois. I even spent a little time building a statue to Opportunity, the rover that died in 2019. The good boi deserved better than humanity.
Mars has developed nicely over the past few years. It has become nearly indistinguishable from its more developed big sister. The only difference being that although plant life has evolved rather quickly, the animals are still rather… Special.
As I say special, a sort of flying jellyfish with googly eyes just floated into a rock and died.
*sigh*
I swear, the life here is worse than hamsters.
The oceans are bigger than Earths, but far less deep. Which is good. Fuck whatever lives in the deep ocean. There is only one main continent, like pangea. I decided to name it Genesis. It's bigger than Earth's land area because Mars is only 52% water. Though Mars itself is smaller, its oceans are dwarfs comparatively.
Life on Mars is much prettier than Earths. The trees are gigantic, nearing Ares' height, and the animals are all bioluminescent. I suppose evolving through titan energy instead of natural means brings different results. Every living creature is much bigger than earths due to every creature having at least trace amounts of titan energy throughout their bodies.
Several pseudo-titans have popped up around the planet. The most prominent of them being a species of bear Remy started calling Yogi's. Honestly, I have no idea how she knows who Yogi is.
They're white and live at the South pole, with a few moving further inland and gaining greyish skin. I guess they'll be one of the apex predators of mars. They're only around ten meters tall at the shoulder, so they're giant for earth, but not much here.
Not far behind them is an animal similar to giraffes of earth, but with spikes all the way up their necks and long spindly legs that end in sharp points. They're very alien in comparison to the overgrown polar bears.
Mars is developing nicely. Then, I feel the calling.
The energy is calling me to go through one of the portals to the hollow earth…
But I know this is goodbye.
