Vanishing
Feeling that the Rift of Darkness had vanished and peace had returned to the universe, I returned to the Tower of Star-Readers. Upon my return, the Administrator greeted me with a warm smile. “Well done, Mitamu. You are a hero who saved the universe.” I reported to the Administrator about my battle against the Rift of Darkness and how I had overcome the darkness within my own heart. The Administrator listened to my words and nodded quietly. “You have truly understood the ‘Word of Creation,’ haven’t you? It is the power to maintain harmony in the universe, and at the same time, the power to maintain harmony within your own heart.” The Keeper offers me words of encouragement. “Take your time to rest. And it would be good for you to find a new goal. Your journey is not over yet.” I follow the Keeper’s advice and decide to rest in a room within the tower. Pleasant starlight streams into the room, soothing my heart. Lying on the bed, I reflect on my adventures so far: my encounter with the Librarian, my discovery of the “Infinite Book,” the discovery of the “Word of Creation,” my encounter with the Lyre of Atlantis, and the countless trials I’ve faced. Those experiences have helped me grow immensely. Yet, at the same time, a new question arises in my mind. The “Words of Creation” are a force that maintains the harmony of the universe, but is that all there is to them? Could there be a deeper meaning? I take out the “Infinite Book” and begin turning its pages once more. Then, my eyes settle on a certain page. Written there in ancient script is a passage about the “Creation of the Universe.” I tried to decipher the ancient script and understand its meaning. I then realized that the “Words of Creation” are the very power that creates the universe, and that this power is controlled by the Creator’s will. And I learned that in order to touch the Creator’s will, I must journey to the “Place of Beginnings,” which exists in the depths of the universe. The “Place of Beginnings”… that is where the universe was born, and where the Creator’s will resides most strongly. I find a new goal: to go to the “Place of Beginnings” and connect with the Creator’s will. To that end, I resolve to set out on a journey once again.
