The form composed from a blinding light was a sentient resident inside the dimension of his own creation. Long ago he was a mere human seeking a way to attain immortality, but now the purpose of this creature was much more simple, yet a complicated one. To become an all-powerful being.

Secrets hidden in the vastness space of endless worlds and unknown dimensions, were just waiting for its grasp, but to do that, it needed a perfect tool.

Over numerous years of its existence, it had created many shadows of its former self - a mere emissaries in pursuit of its boundless thirst for knowledge.

- You are one of me, yet you are not. You exist for my benefit, yet your life is your own. You shall be given parts of my former memories and power, to use as your own. What I expect in return is a simple thing - live your life. Then, when you cease to exist, you shall rejoin with me and we will be whole again. From time to time, you can try to communicate with me. As we may be separated now, but our bond is strong, strong enough to overcome any distance and obstacles.

- But you must remember, you are not the one and only child of mine, and as such, my link to you is not always available. I may be powerful, but I'm not omniscient. Not yet, at least.

He was about to lose his consciousness, but then in sudden moment of clarity he finally understand what was really happening to him.

All this time he was just fighting with himself. Deep in his soul he felt that his companion wasn't nothing more, than a pure realization of his power, that was simply moving him to his new destination.

The key to his victory wasn't domination, but rather harmony with his true potential, and what he needed the most right now, was some way of communication.

Then he remembered about the link that was connecting him and his creator, maybe there was a trick to use it in another way.
