Chapter 11. The Power of Choice

The world around them had become even brighter than before. The lines that stretched from the sky to the earth now pulsed with shades of blue and red, forming intricate patterns that shifted with each step they took. The landscape was unpredictable — on one side, immense waterfalls appeared, and on the other, dry, wrinkled mountains rose, like ancient witnesses to time. But in the midst of all this wondrous vastness, there was one constant: the feeling of the presence of something higher, something more than just a world. It was the very essence of existence, the energy that moved the worlds.

Antem stood at the edge of a vast chasm, gazing into the endless space before him. His heart beat in time with the great cosmic pulse, as though he was part of something greater than a mere creature living on the earth. He felt how his understanding grew, how he realized that they were no longer just wandering in a new world — they were its creators. And everything they did was of utmost importance to this place.

“This isn’t just a new world,” he said, turning to the others. “This is our creation. And we must decide what it will be.”

Lumis, standing beside him, looked at his friend. He knew that every word he spoke had a deeper meaning, but he found it difficult to fully comprehend everything that was happening. Eternity unfolded before them like a book that had not yet been written, and every choice they made would determine what they were creating.

“You’re right,” he agreed. “But are we ready to take on such responsibility? We’re not just part of this world. We are its foundation. And what we choose will determine what this new order will be.”

Ayna listened quietly to their words, her eyes fixed intently on the infinity before them. She had long felt that this world could not simply be understood by the mind. It was a feeling, a kind of cosmic intuition, telling her that their choices would not just define their fate, but the fate of all reality that they had entered.

“We’re not just choosing for ourselves,” she said softly. “We are choosing for everything that exists in this world. This isn’t just a question of personal choice. It’s a question of universal scale.”

Tarik, who had not spoken a word until now, lifted his gaze. His eyes were steady but calm, and he felt something important shifting deep inside him. This world gave him power, but it also brought to the surface all his fears and doubts. The choice they made could not be undone. And that was what kept him on edge.

“We’ve already made our choice,” he said finally. “And we can’t turn back. Now we need to understand how to make that choice a reality.”

These words hung in the air like an echo, reverberating off the walls of the new world. They stood on the threshold of great change, and none of them could say exactly where this path would lead. But they all knew one thing: now, every step and every choice mattered.

And so, they moved forward, walking together, yet increasingly feeling that each of them was walking their own path, with new goals and tasks ahead. The choice had been made, and now it was up to them to bring it into reality. Only in their hands did the power lie to change this world, to create a new order. And this new order would be whatever they built it to be.
