Doma received a mysterious message.
From far away… from the edge of the empty cosmos.
So deep, so ancient ... that it shook every particle of his consciousness.
He understood, he had to go there.
But…
He couldn't leave the newly born Vleues alone.
Deffo, now as powerful and awakened as him,
stood a little behind.
Doma turned to him, looked deep into his eyes,
and spoke in a slow, gentle tone ... the same divine cadence:
"I have received some strange messages…
from the edge of this empty cosmos.
I must go investigate.
Promise me
you will look after Vleues.
I will try to return soon…"
Deffo wanted to say something.
Wanted to stop him, ask about the danger, what was so important…
But when he saw that glow in Doma's eyes
that zeal, that new hope for the future…
he chose to remain silent.
He just stepped forward,
pressing his forehead against Doma's, and said:
"I… will wait."
The very next moment
Doma, faster than the speed of light…
like a streaking comet,
shining, vanished into the depths of the empty cosmos.
In Vleues' Shadow…
His absence…
pricked Deffo to the core.
But he composed himself.
He moved towards Vleues,
which was now adorned with countless jewel-like planets.
Deffo looked at that tiny cosmos,
where there was energy, beauty .... but no life.
He saw…
life was sprouting,
but each time it died out
due to insufficient energy.
Each time a hope ignited,
and at that very moment, it was extinguished.
This sight…
twisted Deffo's heart.
"Why isn't life thriving?" "Does it need some other element,
which is not in any planet…?"
✧ Return… and the Hint of Rebirth
Many years passed…
And then one day
Suddenly…
a strong white vortex,
burst forth in the darkness of the empty cosmos.
When Deffo looked towards it,
the glow in his eyes was greater than the creation of a universe. A large sphere, radiating millions of colors, was moving forward.
It was Doma…
But he was no longer the Doma he was before.
His brilliance, coming from afar,
was like the entire cosmos lighting up a lamp.
And when Doma came closer
Deffo's breath hitched.
His skin was now deep black,
but it glowed with such radiance that
even Vleues' brilliance seemed pale in comparison.
His tail was now longer, denser,
and filled with colors
never before seen in any cosmos.
His eyes
now deep blue,
like an infinite ocean.
The filaments on his ears .. blue, long,
and wrapped in such a glow that
anyone who saw them would simply gaze in awe.
His beauty ... was the most exquisite form of divinity.
Deffo's eyes couldn't leave him.
Is this the same Doma…!?
Foreheads Meet… and an Explosion of Power
Doma ... calm, composed
came close to Deffo.
Closed his eyes…
and pressed his forehead against Deffo's.
And then
an energy explosion occurred!
Such an explosion,
that the sphere it formed was many times larger than Sitali Beutal.
Along with that
Deffo also changed.
He was grey again now
which was his true identity.
But his tail,
and the back of his head
were now deep black and divine.
That was now the mark of his unique power.
Declaration of the Heir
Within that same sphere,
Doma opened his eyes
and looking at Deffo, said:
"Your true power…
is to give birth to a new power.
To forge a new body.
To nurture it."
"You are now the true heir of Vleues,
and its creator."
"You possess a capability…
that even I do not have."
"Now go… you must create life."
"Believe in yourself
and one last time…
perform Fesutor."
And never consider yourself alone.
Promise me you will never let this world break again, you will listen to the call of every living being, every breath, you will care for every creature, no matter how small or big. You will never let it be destroyed like Sitali Beutal again.
Deffo closed his eyes and said,
"Absolutely, I won't let that happen again. This is our world now."
Doma said lovingly,
"No, this is your world."
Now Deffo was ready.
He was not alone.
He had Doma's blessing.
A new energy.
And a cosmos…
…in which he now had to breathe the first breath of life.
This was the legacy of creation.
Deffo's destined fate.
And Doma's immortal light left behind.
