Deep within the walls of a massive hospital building, laying within a stark white room on a hospital bed, a man in his mid 20s lies. Sensors strapped to his chest, an oxygen mask on his face and a heart rate monitor beside him. Strained breathing could be heard as the man struggled to keep his eyes open. At both sides of his bed stand a woman and a teenage girl, both crying as they watch him struggle to stay alive.
Through strained breaths and the noise of the heart monitor beeping far faster then it should, the man puts effort into speaking his last words towards his family. "Listen to me you two, as I find it harder to speak and breathe, this is my last words for you. Please, take good care of yourselves. I love you far too much for you to give up life. Take care of the garden, after all this time that I had taken to grow it, there should be enough to live off of for the rest of your lives. My last will and the deed to our home lies in the safe back in my closet. Take them and lead happy lives, for me. Candace honey, take care of the house, when our daughter has children I want there to be someplace she can raise them in safety. Courtney dear, please take care of your mother and be sure to give me at least one grandchild. Otherwise you will find me nagging you as a ghost until you do! HAHA *wheezing cough*" As the man lies down after talking to his loved ones one last time, the heartrate monitor speeds up even more as his wheezing gets worse. Soon the wheezing and coughing stops and the man breathes his last breath, the monitors beeping stopping along side it. The last thing the man sees is his wife and daughter crying and his vision fades to black and his numb body losing all sensation as he dies.
After what felt like years of sleeping within the pitch black void, the man begins to notice something strange approaching him within the dark. At first it's a blur, a strangely shaped, brightly glowing blur appeared to be approaching him at a slow, agonizing pace. After what felt like even more years of drifting in and out of awareness, the blur has nearly reached him. Slowly as the blur finally got close enough to him, his vision clears and he learns that the blur was a hand! A hand so large that is could easily eclipse the sun.
As the hand finally reached him, it wrapped it fingers around him, grasping his formless body in a firm grip and gently pulling him back from where it had come from. Fortunately, he could not see or feel anything from within its closed hand, as it was moving far faster then before. Eventually it came to a stop and the fingers attached to the hand each unfurled one by one, until the thing that the hand was attached to came into view. An old looking man, easily larger then the entire planet of earth, stood within the void as if he were born to live there. A beard so long it reached past below his hand and eyes that glow so bright, it was like looking straight at the sun itself. Though out of all his grandeur, the one feature that the formless soul had noticed the most, was the titans hair. Rather then normal human hair, the man had thotner vines in place of hair strands, all strching down past him arms.

As the gargantuan being stood there, watching the soul in its hand, it finally spoke. "Ah, a pitiful soul, lost in the void like a fawn far from its mother. I wonder how to got so far from home little one". With a flash from its eyes, the titans face changed from wonder to sadness. Ah, I see. You are one with nature. Though you were not compatible with it, you still did your best to be with nature despite that. I see what you were and now that you have been found abandoned by it, you have been wandering all alone in the dark. Do not worry my child, for I will make you all better. You shall now be one with the nature that you protected, and I shall you far more then you were before. Be well, grow strong and we might meet again one day."
As the giant of a man finished speaking, he reached down into the darkness with his other hand and pulled out a seed. A seed to pristine, so smooth and shiny that it looked to be made of the purest of diamonds. With a flourish of his hands, the soul and the seed were sent flying into the air and as they collided, a great flash went off and all went dark.
Strangely, after what felt like aeons of blissful sleep, the soul began to feel something. Moist. Nice, warm and perfectly most was what it felt. 'Wait... felt?' It wondered. 'Ah, I can feel again. Mmm it feels so cozy' it thought. Without another moment, it fell back asleep. Though as it slept, it could feel itself growing. At first it could not tell how big it had been at first, but as it grew to could tell how far it had gone since its inception. 'Ah, that feel good' it thought. The creature could somehow feel an even greater warmth about itself now. Great heat just on the cusp of hot without ever burning. 'Ah that feels amazing! Please, I want more!' The creature thought. Barely a moment passed as it felt something opening up. Several somethings attached to itself opened up, basking it in even more of that wonderous warmth that it loved. 'Ah that is better!' It thought. Eventually as the warmth began to fade, the creature settled down and fell asleep yet again. The things attached to it closed up and it faded back into another blissfully dreamless sleep.
