"A sister as in a Genesis Rhapsodos that just so happens to be female," he said. "I think that she comes from an alternate version of my world since her history differs from mine in some places, while in other places we are nearly identical."
It was a bit odd, but still she was like a sister to him and he found it rather nice to have someone around that he could relax with. They had the same little quirks and yet were different enough that they weren't too uncomfortable with each other.
"I don't know about how other planets are, but ours live." To explain the Lifestream, to put it in ways that someone who never seen it or felt it, that was going to be hard. Genesis bit his lower lip, thinking for a moment about how to simplify it. "The soul of the Planet is the Goddess, or maybe She is the guardian of the soul. I've seen her, been touched by her, and felt the Lifestream move at a hint of her command. The Lifestream is where all life comes from. It's a living flow of energy, moving between the Promise Lands and back to the Planet, like a river. All things spring from this and all things go back to this.
"Then there is pools of mako, which is like the concentration of the Lifestream, rising to the surface of the Planet and nourishing all living things. Magic comes from it, as do raw materia formations. The materia is a kind of crystal that we humans managed to craft into spheres that we use for spells. Some of us SOLDIERs don't need most of them for the amount of mako in our system gives us a touch of magic.
"It is a fragile balance though, the balance between the Lifestream, the mako and humans. Humans drain the mako to power their cities and don't realize that they are draining the Planet's lifeblood as they do so."
