The Woman in the Robe
“Who... exactly are you?” I asked the woman in the robe. Her words carried both truth and an immeasurable weight.
She smiled quietly and replied, “A name... is unnecessary.”
“What matters is the information I seek to convey to you. The Words of Creation are not mere words. They are the very laws of the universe, connecting the origin of this world and the reason for your own existence.”
Her words made me lean forward. “The laws of the universe...?”
“Yes. They are composed of complex equations, geometric patterns, and something akin to musical scales. The relic you discovered is a part of them. And within your ‘Infinite Book,’ fragments of them are recorded in various forms.”
As if reading my thoughts, she continued, “Over many long years, you have gathered these fragments. And now, the time has come to piece them together.”
“But... the danger?” I asked, a flicker of unease stirring within me. A power touching the very foundation of this world. It was beyond imagination, and surely held terrifying dangers.
“Of course, danger is involved. No one has ever fully controlled the power of the Words of Creation. But you have potential. You are immortal, possessing extraordinary intellect and astonishing regenerative abilities. These will be significant advantages in controlling the power of the Words of Creation.”
She rose slowly. "I came here to help you. But the final decision must be yours alone. To unleash the power of the Words of Creation and unravel this world's mysteries... or to seal that power and choose the status quo..."
Her words echoed quietly through the study. Her eyes held an unfathomable depth and a quiet light, like the vastness of deep space. I stared at the Infinite Book and the relics. As she said, piecing together these fragments might unravel the mysteries of this world and the enigma of my own existence. But what awaited beyond that? I still hadn't found the answer. Yet, this encounter with her woman had undoubtedly ushered in a new turning point in my life—no, in my eternal journey. In the silence, I listened intently to her words and the voice within my own heart.
