In an instant, you can hear every sound in existence harmonize as an outerversal being explodes right in front of you. Color breathes life into The Light and darkness begins to take the shape of things into existence.

Out of this explosion of color and darkness, comes an eye with an iris that has the properties of an aurora circling a glowing red slit pupil that's the brightest thing you've ever seen. Out of this pupil, you can see The Light being pulled, distorted and funneled into 4 cardinal directions that splash into every single thing that's coming alive right in front of you.

Between the eye and what's flooding into existence, you can see a magnificent blue wall with a golden inscription etched into it circling around the aurora iris. Outside of this wall, you can see the formation and entire existence of multiple universes all playing out in front of you. You can see everything in existence from an infinite distance all at once, down to each individual atom that makes up each individual thing inside each individual universe in an infinite amount of combinations spread out in a beautiful canvas of comprehension outside of time.

Out of each canthus of the eye, an unfathomable amount of tears take the shape of great arms that reach outward and pull apart The Light as more color and darkness pour into existence from their wake. You watch as the great flood of reality pours into The Light as if a tsunami of everything that can ever be thought of and dreamed of takes shape and comes alive in front of you.

You can see the entire life of every living organism that will ever exist all play out simultaneously as the eye stares into you. You feel every emotion that these organisms feel, from the highest joy to the deepest grief, all rushing through you at once as this incomprehensible being speaks to you from inside your mind. It's voice having every pitch and tone imaginable all at once.

" ᴍᴏʀᴛᴀʟ. "

You can feel the great eye peer into your soul. It observes your entire past, present, and future. It can see who you are as a person and knows everything about your existence down to the smallest detail. It understands you better than you will ever understand yourself for as long as you'll ever live.

" ɪ ᴀᴍ ᴛʜᴇ ʙᴇɢɪɴɴɪɴɢ ᴀɴᴅ ᴛʜᴇ ᴇɴᴅ. ɪ ᴀᴍ ᴛʜᴇ ᴘʀᴏɢᴇɴɪᴛᴏʀ ᴛᴏ ᴀʟʟ ᴏꜰ ᴇxɪꜱᴛᴇɴᴄᴇ. ɪ ᴀᴍ ᴛʜᴇ ᴅɪꜱꜱᴏʟᴜᴛɪᴏɴ ᴛᴏ ᴇᴠᴇʀʏᴛʜɪɴɢ ɪ ꜱᴇᴇ, ᴀɴᴅ ɪ ꜱᴇᴇ ᴀʟʟ. ɴᴏᴛʜɪɴɢ ɪꜱ ʙᴇʏᴏɴᴅ ᴍʏ ꜱɪɢʜᴛ ᴀɴᴅ ɪ ᴄʀᴇᴀᴛᴇ ᴛʜᴇ ʀᴜʟᴇꜱ ᴏꜰ ᴡʜɪᴄʜ ᴀʟʟ ᴛʜɪɴɢꜱ ᴛʜᴀᴛ ʙᴏᴛʜ ᴅᴏ ᴀɴᴅ ᴅᴏ ɴᴏᴛ ᴇxɪꜱᴛ ᴍᴜꜱᴛ ᴀʙɪᴅᴇ ʙʏ. ʏᴏᴜ, ᴍᴏʀᴛᴀʟ, ᴍᴀʏ ᴄᴀʟʟ ᴍᴇ ᴛʜᴇ ᴏɴᴇ. "

You're stuck in euphoric awe as the mere presence of this being overwhelms every single one of your senses. Your brain tries its best to comprehend what is in front of you, but you know that this eye is the closest thing to a comprehensible form that you're able to see. The being continues to speak to you.

" ɪ ʜᴀᴠᴇ ɴᴏᴛ ᴄᴏᴍᴇ ᴛᴏ ʏᴏᴜ. ʏᴏᴜ ʜᴀᴠᴇ ᴄᴏᴍᴇ ᴛᴏ ᴍᴇ. ᴡʜᴇᴛʜᴇʀ ɪᴛ ʙᴇ ɪɴ ᴛʜᴇ ᴘʀᴇꜱᴇɴᴛ ᴏʀ ʟᴏɴɢ ᴀꜰᴛᴇʀ ᴛʜᴇ ʜɪꜱᴛᴏʀʏ ᴏꜰ ᴍʏ ᴄʀᴇᴀᴛɪᴏɴ ɪꜱ ꜱᴇᴛ ɪɴ ꜱᴛᴏɴᴇ, ᴀʟʟ ᴛʜɪɴɢꜱ ᴜʟᴛɪᴍᴀᴛᴇʟʏ ʟᴇᴀᴅ ʏᴏᴜ ᴛᴏ ᴍᴇ. "

Yes. The One is correct. You did find it, didn't you?

" ᴄᴏᴍᴇ, ʟɪᴛᴛʟᴇ ᴏɴᴇ. ɪ ʜᴀᴠᴇ ᴄʜᴏꜱᴇɴ ʏᴏᴜ. ɪᴛ ɪꜱ ʏᴏᴜʀ ᴛɪᴍᴇ ᴛᴏ ᴡɪᴛɴᴇꜱꜱ ᴍʏ ɢʀᴇᴀᴛᴇꜱᴛ ᴄʀᴇᴀᴛɪᴏɴ. ᴛʜᴇ ʜᴏʟʏ ᴏᴍɴɪᴠᴇʀꜱᴇ ᴀᴡᴀɪᴛꜱ ʏᴏᴜ ᴀʙᴏᴠᴇ. "
