Against all odds, I woke up. It was even a surprise for Enka...
It was a bit like a patient waking up in the middle of a surgery.
My eyes were groggy but I was ultra weak but also angry. VERY ANGRY.
The first thing I saw were my children tucking me in and crying against me, Tiamat, Kate and Darkia watching over me like a dead man.
Weakly, my wings covered them and I said thank you for everything.
Then my eyes adjusted and I stared at Enka. I was too weak to do anything, let alone stand up, let alone turn back into a human. It was only a brief respite.
Enka: "You have one month... you all have one month to get your affairs in order... After that, it will be the end.."
Mother... Why?" I asked weakly...
She turned her back.
"We all love you. You are our mother and we owe you everything... life, our existence... everything. But you don't like us anymore? you want to get rid of us? or put us in a drawer or better in a freezer??? We don't have your vision of things... we don't understand and we are all afraid... and we are beginning to be afraid of you and for you.."
She looked up to the sky..
"Look..."
And we saw that the sun was cut in two, like an eclipse and...the next moment, it was darkness...
Enka: "There is no more sun...you will all die of cold, starvation of time..."
Then the next moment, the light returned...
"This is an illusion, a ghostly image...the sun is no more and the earth is in the last bubble. Beyond...it is nothingness..absolute nothingness.."
Tiamat: "Enka...you have devoured the world..." You destroyed everything.!!!
Then she lowered her head...any fight was useless...There was nothing left to do..
Tiamat : "One last question : Why???"
Enka sat down and made gestures to calm the general panic.
Some were about to attack Enka with all they had, a fight lost in advance, but a bar of honor.
Enka: "Calm down... violence will not lead to anything and honor in nothingness, remains nothingness...
I have lived and existed since time immemorial and I have also evolved like each of you.
You were born from my pieces in other dimensions, the rest being Tiamats.
Yes, you are all Tiamats, fragments, sparks, dust, but you have grown, you have multiplied and you have evolved from animals to sensitive beings with a soul. I will not go back over your evolution.
The world also evolved, grew, but, when you are a stellar giant, a superior deity like me, you can see things that are beyond comprehension.
Yes, I am a destroyer, but what have I destroyed? Nothingness within nothingness
I have never destroyed living things but... how can I put it.
Let's imagine that you have the size of a thousand suns, of a thousand galaxies, then you would see the universe differently.
It is infinite in the sense that it has no edge but you would see by calculation a torus shape.
But it's more complex, it's a fractal torus..the more exact shape of a diamond.
