Chapter 4: 4. Het universum zingt voor mij!

Three weeks later. On Earth, China,  the Yunnan Rainforest in the Temple of the Moth.

A three years old Madison Russell was currently playing with a tablet her mommy gave her. She pressed the strange 'M' icon tapped on the 'top secret' icon and entered her mommy passwords. 

The last being 'Peop|e+for_the~Èthical Trēåtment-óf%Anìmals', PETA for short but she preferred that it mean 'People Eating Tasty Animals, it's time she would say that her mommy would get mad.

Obviously, her mommy didn't know that her favorite daughter knew her 12 different passwords. And her mother didn't need to know this little tit-bit of information.

======================

Xeno-Titan N or Titanus Cetus is the first-ever intelligent alien life form discovered by mankind. 

Assumed as the cause of many of Mars's changes, such as chaotic gravity, atmosphere, destruction, and replacement of Olympus Mon by the newly named N Mons and the Abyss below it

The Citadel N between the two shows us the presence and existence of alien civilizations and how they might be tied to humanity...+

It is hypothesized that it is a whale-shaped titan due to the head of the alien-made statue and the correlation between both of their eye's coloration. Adding to that, it two flippers tips caught in video by Spirit when the specimen later 'played' with it…+

Unknown: Alimentation, method of locomotion, age…+

"Wow… that's so super-duper cool! Martians exist and they have their titan, yeah!", she explained, stars in her eyes as she made the futuristic office wheelchair spin with its armchair controller while she happily giggled.

She stared at all the pictures in the files, the big and endless black void, the impossibly floating mountain just above, that goes against all of what she knew, and the mystical city built below it, upside-down.

She looked at the name Monarch gave it and mumbled, "Don't like it… Now you are dubbed as Sparkling Willie the Martian Whale.", she typed the name and tried to change it but couldn't, she groaned exaggeratedly at the big red message of refusal.

"Ugg, whyyyyyy? No fun.", the three-year-old turned off the tablet, disregarded it on the chair, and jumped off it with a pout, her stomach demanded nutrition and she obliged.

She started to soil away while mimicking what the statue did. Arms outstretched horizontally and palms facing the ground.

On planet Mars.

Caelicetus POV

Half a year passed, and I can tell how much time has passed if I use the stars and other celestial bodies to compare with the orbit of Mars around the Sun. Also, I have a sort of internal clock.

And I can't get lost and can always wormhole back to where I want. I can also sense that each part of space has its own unique 'feel' and it's marked in a sort of mental 'Space Map', though that is relatively useless to tell where am I exactly in the solar system since it constantly moves at incredible speed in the Milky Way, nevertheless it can also be used as a way to tell how much time as passed.

The rover stopped working. Very, very sad. It was truly tragic. I didn't even know its name. So to pay my respect, I threw it in the tras-Abyss. A very apt utilization of my creation.

Mars was still changing, it started to rain more and more. The main reason was the billions and billions of tons of ice just below the surface that started to melt slowly but surely with the new atmosphere making the overall temperature of the planet rise by quite a lot.

The effect was already seen in the phenomenal multiplication and apparition of different life forms becoming more complex around the Abyss such as a plant, mushrooms, and animals.

Two creatures were really interesting ones were jellyfish-like that slowly floated around, their body was a bell with six tentacles below it, and inside the bell were multiple plateaus where flora and arthropods lived, I named them ventgardens. 

They were rare and not very big at the moment, their bells were still smaller than my eyes.

The other ones were little flying fish-bird hybrids that looked like glowing manta rays with beaks. They moved in flocks and to my shock they didn't fear me! 

On the contrary, they directly flew in my direction and to my bewilderment started to eat the grime on my body that accumulated in those 6 years that I couldn't easily get off me.

It felt incredibly good, I know that crocodiles let themselves be cleaned by birds, the flock was very effective at what they were doing and I even let them clean the inside of my mouth and my baleen, surprisingly none cut themselves on them. 

This has become a routine since then. They sense me, clean me, stay for some time around me and fly away. But two were always around me and never let go. I found them funny and let them do what they wanted.

On the evolution of the atmosphere, there were also me fishing comets and meteorites out of the sky that was passing by or going to crash on my planet or my three moons. 

Both are potential food sources to me. I have already realized that each time I spout with my blowhole after feeding myself, I expel multiple gases such as a lot of water vapor and a strange blue hue that looks like energy and feels like energy. 

It was as if I was a giant living filter, converter, and refinery and that was making me want to learn more about my species.

One of the hardest things to adapt in the first year was that I don't breathe, at least not like a human. I have one set of lungs but they only seem to be big bags of air for me to make sounds, as far as I know, and feel.

I do feel like I somehow and somewhat 'breathe' if we can say that graviton works as a replacement of oxygen for my species.

This means I could hypothetically live virtually anywhere as long as there is gravity and a food source that also consists of nearly everything physical, organic, and inorganic alike. Eating minerals, gases, flora, and fauna will not pose me any problem even if my baleens don't seem at first sight designed to eat stone for example. After all, they look pretty similar to regular whalebone whales baleen.

Now I remember the first time I truly saw my body and how I reacted.

*FLASHBACK*  (Four and a half years ago.)

I was currently looking for the first time in a giant mirror I made with metals and glass, it should be aluminum and copper if I'm not mistaken, also the glass was less than perfect in color and purity. I wasn't an expert in my past life and certainly not in both of those things.

That didn't stop me from doing it though, especially the glass. It was the first time I made glass and it wasn't that bad. In my opinion.

'So I look like this… I'm freaking amazing!', I thought narcissistically and I was amazed by what I saw. I already knew my body shape, and that I made golden particles as I swam but that was it. My field of view sadly didn't let me see most of my body.

I inspected each part of my body, my clearly inhuman eye of black and gold, same as the numerous golden orb after. I stared right into my own eye and it affirmed again that it was me and what I have become. 

It affirmed my inhumanity, I realized that I truly didn't care, in fact, I felt that I was perfectly fine with it and even happy about it. Humans weren't the center of the universe.

I could see that the color of my skin was bluish-nacre at first but was constantly changing as if affected by my emotions.

But the most shocking feature of my skin and muscle was their partial translucency in most areas of my body. I stared at my bones and internal organs with fascination.

I could see how most of them were placed and the disposition of my rib cage and spine. I turned a bit and caught a glimpse of my own beating heart before I felt my body instinctively conceal it making it completely invisible. 

It was huge, my right ventricle was pure black while my left was pure white, even when I saw it, it was hidden behind multiple bone structures and organs with unknown functions.

*END OF FLASHBACK*

Today I want to test going in the vacuum of space.

I concentrated on a spot at the end of the exosphere, I folded gravity making a black hole with my heart as the epicenter and with a loud crack I entered hyperspace, yes I was too lazy to simply swim up.

After going into the space-time tunnel, I reappeared with a flash of white and air being expelled all around me.

I felt great the space jump became easier as I grew up and used them. Now I can teleport things other than myself but it's not as fast or smooth as the latter.

I heard the barest sound of wind and felt the violent increase in temperature, both not even faze me. I tilted my body to see Mars below, I was way above the clouds. 

I was so high that I could nearly see Mars in all of its glory, it always felt good and refreshing to be this high. I felt the cosmic ray bounce off my skin or go through it getting transformed into golden light particles around my flipper and fins.

I flipped my two front sets of flippers and started to float higher, my heart beating faster in excitement, I felt with each passing second the air getting thinner until there was none. Absolute silence.

I was euphoric, I was in space and I felt strangely at home, same as Mars but different Mars was like a mother's embrace and outer space was like seeing your family after a long time.

Without realizing I was already singing, making complex whistles, clicking, and a mix of growls and roars, all mixing and constantly superposing each other in an orderly but chaotic manner. It was primal and animal while at the same time being incredibly sophisticated and melodious.

I kept doing this for what felt like days, without interruption. The sound somehow traveled through the graviton present in the vacuum of space. Making myself known as Mars's Alpha. 

Gravity singing back in acknowledgment, making my own song go farther and become more potent.
