Melania stood at the edge of the new world, watching as her creation slowly began to take form. The Eternity she had started to shape was still chaotic and inexperienced. Every new element that appeared had its own energy, but none were fully under her control. It felt as though this new world was more like a deep ocean of possibilities, where every choice could create a wave that changed everything.
But something started to worry her. She could sense that she wasn’t the only one influencing the process. Eternity seemed to be trying to learn from her methods, but it was also considering other options.
“It’s not just your doing, Melania,” Endar said, standing next to her and observing her work. His gaze was intense, not leaving her hands for a moment.
“I know,” she replied with a sigh. “I feel it. Eternity is looking at other possibilities. It’s considering other teachers.”
“Maybe it wants to learn from more than just you,” Endar added, listening to the atmosphere that had shifted. “Eternity doesn’t know anyone. It doesn’t have its own vision yet.”
Melania didn’t argue. Her feelings were right: she was not the only source of influence on this new Eternity. It seemed that something invisible, yet just as powerful, was trying to steer its decisions. This new world was open to all possibilities, even to the idea of being shaped by others from the outside.
“Do you think it could choose him?” Melania looked at Endar. Her voice was calm, but there was anxiety in it. “The one who could harm everything I’m trying to create?”
“Eternity doesn’t choose,” Endar said with a bitter edge to his voice. “It learns. It learns through anyone who is available. And even if it chooses him, it doesn’t mean its path will be the right one.”
Melania felt the ground beneath her feet tremble. She realized she couldn’t rush to conclusions. Eternity was more complex than she had imagined. And although she was its creator, she was only a part of this vast mechanism.
“We need to be prepared for anything,” Melania said, trying to collect her thoughts. “If Eternity chooses him, we need to understand why it happened. We must maintain control, even if it means we’ll have to work together with someone who stands on the opposite side.”
“I agree,” Endar replied. “But remember, Eternity won’t follow just one path. It will absorb all possibilities and even learn through those who stand against it.”
Melania paused. She couldn’t allow Eternity to falter, but what troubled her more was the possibility that this new world could be destroyed in its infancy due to the wrong choices. She had to remain cautious while new elements, new influences, began to fill the empty space.
“We need to act quickly,” she said. “I must learn how to create this world so that even if it chooses other paths, it doesn’t destroy what I’ve already started.”
Endar looked at her, and although his gaze was calm, he knew that their journey was only beginning. And even though Eternity hadn’t chosen its teacher yet, they had to be ready for anything.
