The Words of Creation
The librarian’s words left me breathless. The Words of Creation… They are the key to unlocking the secrets of the universe’s creation, and they possess a power capable of shaking this world to its core. Though I have found several fragments of them so far, I have yet to grasp the full picture.
“A key…?” I ask. “How on earth am I supposed to…”
The Librarian slowly thrusts his staff into the ground and lets out a deep sigh. “This World Tree holds the power of the Words of Creation. And the instrument you created… it will serve as a guide to unleash that power.”
“A guide…?” I look at the finished instrument once more. The iron strings, cast in the light of the stars, shimmered beautifully as they reflected the moonlight, and the bow, crafted from the shell of a wind spirit, trembled ever so slightly, as if it were alive.
“The Words of Creation are not mere words. They are the ultimate music, expressing the laws of the universe and the very source of the world. This instrument is a vessel bestowed by the heavens to play that music,” the Librarian explained quietly. “By playing this melody, the power of the World Tree will be awakened, and the full scope of the Words of Creation will be revealed.”
“But isn’t that power… dangerous?” I cannot hide my anxiety. I have been tossed about by the power of the Words of Creation countless times before. In the face of that overwhelming power, I have often felt powerless.
The Librarian smiles gently. “Indeed, the Words of Creation possess immeasurable power. It is the power to create the world, and at the same time, the power to destroy it. However, it all depends on how it is used. If you understand that power correctly and use it properly, this world will embrace an even brighter future.”
The Librarian’s words give me courage. I have overcome countless difficulties up to this point. Those experiences have helped me grow, granting me a resilient spirit and solid knowledge.
“I understand,” I declare firmly. “I will correctly understand the power of the Words of Creation and use it for the sake of this world.”
I pick up the instrument once more. The energy of the World Tree flows through the instrument and into my entire body. It feels as though I have become one with the World Tree. Then, taking a deep breath, I begin to play the melody slowly.
At first, the tempo is slow, gentle, and deliberate. But as the melody progressed, the sound gradually grew more powerful, and the entire World Tree began to resonate. Leaves swirled upward, light shone brightly, and a rainbow-colored aurora swirled in the sky.
The melody I played was as grand and mysterious as a cosmic symphony. Its sound contained joy, sorrow, anger, and hope. It is the ultimate music, expressing every emotion in this world.
And when the melody reached its climax, a dazzling light burst forth from the top of the World Tree. That light filled the entire sky and flowed into my body.
My consciousness expanded to the farthest reaches of the universe, and I understood the full meaning of the Words of Creation.
