The Book of Abbadon

Closure

Absolute… Yes, that does sound familiar.

As you recall the memories that Noeh showed you in the cafe, the voices of people who mentioned that word echoes throughout your mind.

First Anito's voice…

" Abbadon. You have been brought here in the arena before us because you have violated the Grand Orders mandated by THE ABSOLUTE. You have been accused of revealing our nature to a lesser being, endangering our kind's existence for personal gain, and copulating with a lesser being with the result of creating life. How do you plea? "

Then Tom's voice…

" Yes, Donny. She'll be the safest if she's with THE ABSOLUTE. THE ABSOLUTE is the only being that's powerful enough to reside outside of The Omniverse. He created us. Rosie is the first of her kind. I'm sure that THE ABSOLUTE would be more than happy to take care of her as she grows older and becomes familiar with her abilities. "

Then your voice…

" No. I'm not giving her away to OUR FATHER. Not after everything that I've gone through to protect her. "

The Absolute is your father. He’s the one who created Black Traps. That means Tom really is your brother and the power that's within you must be a part of your creator. Could Tom have this power as well?

Since Sowzo warped Somniohm into a replica of Ariel’s cottage, you decide to take this as an opportunity to revisit this special place. You open your eyes and silently walk around Ariel's cottage to the rose garden in the back. As you look around at your wife's life work that was lost when you saw Rosie die, the air is still and you're filled with longing to see your wife and daughter again.

“ Her roses are as beautiful as ever… “

You say to Sowzo, who you know is hiding in the aether while he watches you. Sowzo remains silent as you pick a rose from a bush and admire the beauty of it in your hands. You feel a prick in your finger and you look at where the thorn on the stem of the rose poked you, handling the rose gently. You think of Rosie's birthday gift from Tom and Ariel’s philosophy about love as you watch a dot of blood rise to the surface.

“ She loved me despite my thorns and it led to her death. I don't know how I possibly could've forgotten her… I can't believe it's been so long… “

“ Nothing is impossible for my father, The One. Existence is his and his will is always done. Trust me, I know, for I am his son. There is only one realm that my father doesn't run. That realm is the Null, which belongs to The None. “

Sowzo says as his voice echoes all around from every direction. You look back at the cottage window that Tom was watching you and Rosie from on the night Rosie died as you ask Sowzo a question.

“ What about my creator? You said that The One chose me because of my power. What do you know of The Absolute? "

Sowzo giggles amusedly and responds in a playful tone.

" I know what I know, and I know not much! Sowzo only knows rumors and such! Rumors… of a being that existed before my father’s inception. Rumors… that he lives outside of my father's perception. Rumors… that his power is far beyond my father's conception. Rumors… that he is Absolute in every way with no exception. Rumors… Many rumors… but rumors are rumors because rumors lack evidence. My father believed finding proof should take precedence. You could easily manipulate my father's elements, but your imprisonment was mostly because of your relevance to your creator and his excellence! “

You continue to question Sowzo.

“ What about Tom? I was told that Tom made a deal with The One in exchange for power. He's also a son of The Absolute. Why would Tom need to make a deal for power if he has the same abilities as I do? “
