"She has a soul, a force or a presence. I'm not sure what exactly to call it, though I always feel the Goddess and the Planet are nearly the same. The Cetra use to speak directly with her and her with them, but when the Cetra died out, humans were all that was left. Some say that is why no one knew much about the Lifestream until it was rediscovered by ShinRa."

Rediscovered and abused. Of course there had been legends, about the power of the Planet and everyone knew that though bodies did happen when someone died, the energy of them dying could be seen as a mist of lights before it faded into the ether. It was easy to assume that the Lifestream was nothing more than energy and not actual souls.

"If the Lifestream dies, then the Planet dies. This is something we have seen, especially around Midgar where the largest mako plants are. Nothing grows there, and only kind of creatures one sees are deformed monsters. But the plants are gone and life was starting to return, though not fast. It will take a long time before it does.

"Yes, my abilities are gone, save for what I am re-teaching myself. It is a pity, though I am glad as well. Mako infusion can be a shortcut to a greatness one may not deserve after all."
