His golden eyes gazed down past his hovering feet and continued exactly 467,098 miles below him to rest on the collapsed form of the boy as he shuddered through his last breath and went still.

Just as soon as they engulfed the body, one by one, leaf after leaf, each withered and turned grey as their life energy was bled from them. Brightly burning hazel eyes appeared from the dead ash now blanketing the soil. Satisfied, Fathom watched as his creation crawled from the now damp earth and drew it's first immortal breath.
