Emiren felt reality shifting around him, as if it were a living organism trying to comprehend their presence. Two Eternities had collided, and now came the moment of choice.
The Weaving of Worlds
“Change is not destruction,” he repeated, watching the shifting currents of time form new, uncharted paths. His words hung in the air as if testing their own truth.
The entity before him nodded. “Then prove it.”
A wave of transformation rippled through the space. The air vibrated, resonating like the Silver Tree’s song, but distorted—an echo from another reality.
Memories from both Eternities flickered before Emiren’s eyes. He saw the Time Trees sprouting in the Creators’ world and shadowy figures emerging in the Foreign Eternity, existing beyond the familiar laws of being.
“What do you see?” Flamen asked beside him.
“A possibility,” Emiren replied.
But it was fragile. If balance wasn’t found, the two worlds would either merge or annihilate one another.
The Edge of Fusion
“There is a place where both time streams converge,” Watery said, his voice heavy, as if heard through water. “We must find it.”
The entity raised a hand, and from the darkness emerged a bridge—formless yet real, made of both light and shadow, of movement and stillness.
“You may cross it if you are willing to become part of something greater,” the entity said.
Emiren stepped forward, sensing reality shifting beneath his feet.
Each step brought them closer to the nexus where the Eternities intertwined. Space fragmented into a mosaic of times that had not yet become real.
Sacrifice for Creation
Suddenly, the bridge trembled. An echo of the Old Time flared in crimson light. The Silver Tree in the Eternal Garden shuddered, its branches beginning to wither.
“Our world resists,” Hollow whispered.
“It fears becoming something else,” Emiren answered.
The entity sighed. “All creation is loss. For something to be born, something else must fade.”
“We can find balance!” Emiren protested.
“Then prove it.”
Two paths opened before them: one led to preservation, where the Eternal Garden remained unchanged but the Foreign Eternity vanished. The other led to transformation, where a new Eternity would be born, though the old one would never be the same.
Emiren knew his choice would shape everything.
“We will find a third way,” he said.
“We will prove that two Eternities can coexist.”
Darkness and light converged in a single pulse. The moment of change had come.
