Melania and Endar’s steps led them through the endless forest, where every breath of air felt crucial, and every shadow carried with it the unknown. The light from the horizon grew brighter with each step, and although it seemed they were approaching something vast, their hearts remained uncertain. What was this place? Were they truly ready for what awaited them?
The forest still transformed around them, the trees growing taller and more twisted, their branches reaching into the night sky. Melania felt that these trees were not just plants, but parts of something greater. Their roots ran deeper than the earth itself, and the rustle of their leaves whispered stories that had lived through centuries.
“We’re getting closer to something big,” Melania whispered, her voice barely audible through the stillness of the forest. She gazed into the distance where the light finally began to take shape.
“This is more than just light,” Endar added, his voice steady but tinged with an underlying anxiety. “This is something bigger. Something that may have been here long before, yet somehow remained unseen. Perhaps it’s not just a beacon, but a reverse path leading us back to the roots of the new world.”
Melania knew that this was exactly what they had been searching for. But now, as they stood so close to their destination, fear began to overwhelm her. She wasn’t sure if she was ready for all that might be ahead. The choice they had made still lingered in their thoughts, like a shadow of the future, inevitably approaching. There was no turning back now.
As they drew closer, the light before them unfolded, and it wasn’t merely a bright glow. It was a breathtaking, infinite light that pulsed from every direction, filling the space around them. They stood at the center of this radiance, and every step they took felt like they were disturbing the very essence of this world.
From the heart of the light emerged a figure, slowly approaching them. She was clothed in fabric that shimmered with all the hues of the spectrum, as though the very essence of time and space itself stretched out in endless color. Her face was a blur, but her presence was overwhelming, and her power could be felt in every movement.
“You have come,” she spoke, her voice calm and deep, like the silence of the universe. “And now you must make your choice.”
Melania stopped, trying to gather her thoughts. Who was this being? What did she represent for this world, for the new Eternity?
“We are ready,” Melania said, though her voice trembled with uncertainty.
The figure responded with a brief nod. “Ready? Do you truly understand what that means?” Her eyes glinted with the reflection of infinite expanses of time. “This is a choice that will test your hearts. Not all will be able to bear it. Not all will be able to find the strength to truly become those who create Eternity.”
Endar, standing beside Melania, appeared resolute, yet his gaze too was filled with doubt. “We are not seeking easy answers. We are ready to bear the responsibility of creating a new world.”
The figure inclined her head slightly, a sign of respect. “You have chosen the right path. But this is not the end. It is only the beginning of your journey to creation. And now you must understand that even the smallest of your choices can change the future. Be careful with your decisions, for this future will no longer be as you imagined it.”
Melania felt her fears and doubts begin to dissolve. She realized that this moment wasn’t just about the choice of her own fate, but the fate of the entire new world. She moved forward, feeling each step as part of this great process of creation that had now begun.
“We are ready,” she said once more, now with confidence in her voice. “We are ready to create the new Eternity.”
The light before them flared, like an endless cosmos, and they knew they would never turn back again.
