We might have to do this again, sometime.

We know.

For now, we are returning to our homes, but we might have to "save the world" again, and again, and again until time deems it's enough. We might come back in a billion years or perhaps after a much, much longer time. Perhaps with further evolution, a problem of a worse degree will arise. Anything is possible.

We might have to do this again, sometime, and we may be lacking information on what happened this time.

We know. We will do it together.

...

Is Grace still like the rest of us?

I lost something and I am unsure of what that means for the future, but regarding where I am headed yes, I am like all of you.

What about Nature?

I don't think it wants to. It may not have any wants, but I do not think it wants to leave its position ever again.

Then we aren't together, are we?

The eleven shadows of nature are fundamentally manifestations of one entity. The six of us will always be connected, and the events that have happened will always be part of us.

Somehow, somewhere.

We must be alone, together with our homes. We are the seven shadows of the land, alone with our duties.

Forever serving the world, as long as it exists.

When will we go back to the Shadow Dimension, then? Once the world of Earth is gone, will all the other lands be gone too?

Who knows? We are not like the other Shadow Beings and we are no more of a certain world. Still, there is a progression of time and a notion of space, but perhaps we will experience it all differently. We are going where no one goes, no one other than us, and we have forgotten, but I am sure everything will be fine.

Can we help this world pass away kindly, whenever its time comes? There has been too much suffering already... will a new world come in its place? Will new worlds keep coming?

Who knows?

Does it feel pointless?

The world of the living is fine now. It is still full of struggle and strife and pain and sorrow and exhaustion, but these are their stepping stones to wisdom. The world of the living will continue to evolve and maintain its fundamental components. No, it does not feel pointless, because that world is sustaining.

Everything ends, I understand that more than anyone, and the meaning that will be given to the world will be determined by all of time; its own, its components, its beginning, middle and end.

We don't know what's coming, but we can do only do our best as the shadows responsible for the One.

Until then, we have our fundamental duties.

I am glad you all think that way, feel that way. It's time to leave it all behind. This gladness, these thoughts, these emotions, these beliefs, this duty.

...

When it is time to come back, if ever a time like that comes, you can take it all up again. Everything will change yet nothing will change once our existence is burnt.

Like a forgotten dream that lingers.

The thing with uncertainty is that it can lead to both fear and hope. Fear is not necessarily bad; it makes one alert and clever. Hope is not always good; fantasy can make one work hard, but unrealism can lead to a waste of time.

Embrace the uncertainty. Think forward, remember the past, and be in the present.

Be aware. Be conscious of reality. Be open to possibilities.

Be with the One.

...

Be, and it is.
