Harem In The Intergalactic Apocalypse

"I guess that he is the lesser evil, but now that I have you down here. I have never gotten to have a conversation like this before, and I would like to ask that you stay a while longer," Gaia asked, and I grinned.

"Sure, I don't really mind. I can imagine that it has been lonely down here," I said, and Gaia nodded with a tired look.

"I like to listen to the world and the people in it, but I have never been able to have a conversation with another person," Gaia explained.

"Well, since you can talk to me in my head, feel free to talk to me whenever you want. I will try my best to figure out how to get you into a body, but I am going to need some information. I think that you have what I need since you are the mother of all, but I am not sure how to receive the knowledge," I explained, and Gaia put a finger to her lips thoughtfully.

"You mean what a human body is? You want to create your own life?" Gaia asked curiously, and I started to feel uneasy.

It was really easy to forget that I was talking to the one power that governed life and death on this planet. Gaia was more than just pretty like this, but I had to keep in mind that she was not like me.

"I was thinking about it. Is that bad?" I asked, not sure if what I had just said was taboo.

"Not at all. I think that it is a wonderful idea. Evolution has its perks if you have millions of years to let them set in, and each person's growth is different. What you are suggesting is to make a body that is already perfect and place a soul in it, right?" Gaia replied and asked me a question.

"That is the plan. I have already edited some people and animals so far, so I don't think that creating a human body should be that far out of my reach. My biggest hurdle right now is my lack of knowledge, so I might have to pass this on to one of the girls. The best possible situation would be for me to get you a body and then put you in charge of this," I explained, and Gaia nodded.

"That does sound good, but how do you think that you will accomplish this?" Gaia asked.

"I will just have to get some books on human anatomy. I am sure that I must have some way to speed read now, but this would be so much easier if the internet still worked," I grumbled.

"The internet? That was the thing that everyone used to connect with before, right?"

"Yes, but now that is all gone, so books are the next best option. I am hoping that I can do some fun things with them, and now with you on my side, I think they are possible," I explained.

"I am not as powerful as you think. I don't have any special powers; I am just the conduit for all souls and energy of this world. I am not like you," Gaia said, looking away from me.

"Powers? What did you think that I thought that you were going to start shooting lightning bolts out of your eyes? You have something much greater than my power; knowledge. You have been around since the dawn of time, and that alone makes you the greatest in my books. I already do crazy stuff; you can leave that to me!" I said with a laugh, and Gaia looked back at me.

"You really think that I will be that important to you?" Gaia asked, seeming a bit excited.

I guess it would make sense with her being alone this entire time. Gaia had always been here, watching us, and listening, but never able to talk back.

"Yes. I do. Now here is a question. Do you need to stay down here? I mean, right now? I know that you brought me down here to talk, but is there any way that you can come back with me?" I asked, and Gaia shook her head.

"I can not go any farther from the earth's core than I am now, or I will no longer be able to take form. It took a lot out of me even just to reach my voice to you before. Only because the Great Tree's roots stretch down here was I able to contact you," Gaia explained.

"Hmm, but if you had a body, you would be able to come back, right?" I asked as my brain started to work.

Sure, I couldn't make a natural human body, but I might be able to make something.

"I think so, but then I would have to feed off your energy," Gaia said, and I nodded, closing my eyes.

I reached out to Mr. Tree and explained my thoughts on what I wanted to do. Mr. Tree was ecstatic about the idea, which surprised me, but Gaia was considered a mother to all.

"Is this what you're doing?!" Gaia asked in surprise as I opened my eyes to find a small wooden body that was very similar to Melodies, but I made her face look like how Gaia was now.

I had been tempted to make her look the exact way she was now, but that wasn't fair to the other girls. If I made the body in Gaia's current image, none of the other girls would be able to compete with her.

"Yes, for now, this should be fine until I can create you a real human body. I don't think that you will be that much of a drag on my energy levels, so don't worry too much about that," I said with a smile, and Gaia nodded.

I watched as her glowing green body slipped into the wooden doll, and the body started to glow like she had. Two glowing green eyes opened and looked up at me in amazement, then down at her hands.

Gaia reached up and touched her face and then looked at me, reaching a handout. I smiled and took the wooden hand in my, feeling wooden but somehow soft at the same time.

The moment our hands touched, Gaia's eyes started to fill with golden tears as she began to cry. I took her into my arms and held her to my chest as sticky sap-like tears dripped like syrup down my chest.
