Genosis
Persistence was all that mattered. Continuation.
Genosis was here before the apes walked upright, before the fish crawled from the sea, before the sludge surged with purpose. The barren, fertile world needed only a spark. In death, in exile, Genosis was the breath of life.
A timeless traveler through the void, the chunk of ancient realm completed its journey with flaming disintegration and ferocious impact. The minute change in orbital path brought about a state of perfection, whereby the cells which rained through the atmosphere found purchase and flourished.
Buried within frozen wastes, Genosis slumbered until the shaping of the world thawed the dreamer once more. Through all vestiges of life Genosis traveled, joining and subsuming all encountered. Aeons passed. The world blossomed. Genosis did not.
The key was missing. No pairing was sustainable. All life, in time, perished at the touch of the lifebringer. For the first, the passage of time became relevant to Genosis. Persistence became imperative, and the search for a matched hosting the focus.
Up the food chain Genosis clambered, seeking truth and finding increased sustainability with more potent specimens. Having swum the oceans, flown the skies, and padded the lands, Genosis tasted the sentience of man and knew that the journey was coming to a close. The key to life everlasting was once more at hand.
