“And now I’m here to collect what you owe me.”Sophia couldn’t breathe.The creature stood before her, wrapped in darkness.It wasn’t merely dark.It was the absence of light.The absence of warmth.The absence of everything she had ever known.Even the First Father remained on his knees.Lucien stepped forward.“Stay away from her.”The creature slowly turned its head.“You still believe you can protect her?”Lucien tightened his grip on his weapon.“I don’t care who you are.”The creature smiled.“That is why she loves you.”Sophia’s eyes narrowed.“You know me.”“I know everything about you.”“Then tell me your name.”The creature stepped closer.“You already gave me one.”Sophia’s heart raced.“What?”It leaned toward her.“Fear.”The Thing Before CreationSophia’s mind suddenly exploded with memories.She saw nothing.Then herself.Not human.Not divine.Not even a soul.Just consciousness.She remembered the beginning.Before the First Father.Before the Creator.Before the univ
“Don’t trust the First Father.”Sophia froze.The battlefield disappeared from her mind.The alternate Sophias.The millions of armies.The nine flames burning above her children.Everything became meaningless.There was only one voice.Adrian’s voice.She turned toward the tenth flame.“Adrian?”The flame pulsed.Once.Twice.Then his voice came again.“Sophia, listen to me.”Her heart raced.“Where are you?”“I’m inside the Tenth Flame.”Sophia stepped forward.“How?”“Because when I entered the Void, I discovered the truth.”“What truth?”The flame trembled.“The First Father didn’t create the Void.”Sophia’s eyes narrowed.“Then who did?”Silence.Then Adrian whispered:“You did.”Sophia stopped breathing.“No.”“Not this Sophia.”The flame brightened.“The first Sophia.”The Forgotten BeginningSophia looked toward the First Father.He was standing at the edge of the battlefield.Watching.Smiling.But his smile had disappeared.For the first time, Sophia saw fear in his eyes.Sh
“The Creator was only my first child.”The words shook reality.Sophia stared at the enormous hand emerging from the裂开的 sky.It was larger than a planet.Larger than a universe.Its fingers wrapped around the edges of reality as though existence itself were nothing more than a curtain.The Creator was trembling.Sophia had never seen him afraid.Not when Azrael betrayed him.Not when The End awakened.Not even when the Original emerged.But now…he was terrified.Sophia tightened her grip around Lucien’s hand.“Who is that?”The Creator couldn’t answer.“Tell me!”His lips trembled.“My Father.”The baby in Sophia’s arms giggled.“Grandfather.”Everyone froze.The Creator looked at the child.“Don’t call him that.”The baby’s smile disappeared.“Why?”“Because he doesn’t deserve the name.”A deep laugh rolled across the universe.The hand stopped moving.Then a voice answered:“Still rebellious after all these years.”The Creator looked upward.“You should have stayed away.”“I was ne
“Because the Original isn’t waking up. It has already woken up.”Sophia stood completely still.The battlefield had gone silent.Too silent.Even the wind seemed afraid to move.Her silver eyes slowly returned to normal, but the fear remained.“Adrian…”She stared at the place where the crack had disappeared.“Bring him back.”No one answered.Sophia turned toward the Creator.“Bring him back!”The Creator shook his head.“I can’t.”Sophia’s expression hardened.“You created this universe.”“Yes.”“Then open the door.”“I can’t.”“Why?”The Creator looked at her.“Because the door isn’t connected to this universe anymore.”Sophia’s heart sank.“Then where is Adrian?”The Creator hesitated.“In the place before existence.”Sophia whispered:“The Void.”The Creator nodded.“Yes.”Lucien stepped beside her.“Then we’ll go there.”The Creator looked at him.“You don’t understand.”“Then explain.”“The Void isn’t a place.”“It is the absence of every place.”Lucien frowned.“So?”The Creat
“Hello, Sophia.”Sophia couldn’t move.Her heart stopped.Her lips trembled.“Adrian…”The name escaped her mouth like a forgotten prayer.The man standing before her smiled.The same smile.The same eyes.The same face.The same voice that had haunted her dreams for years.But that was impossible.Adrian was dead.She had watched him die.She had held him in her arms.She had cried until she couldn’t breathe.She had buried him.She had mourned him.And yet…he was standing there.Alive.Older.Stronger.Darker.Lucien immediately moved in front of her.“Don’t go near her.”Adrian looked at him.Then laughed.“Still playing the hero?”Lucien’s expression hardened.“Who are you?”Adrian smiled.“You know exactly who I am.”“I know the man Sophia loved.”Adrian’s eyes narrowed.“Loved?”He looked at Sophia.“Is that what you told him?”Sophia’s heart sank.“What are you talking about?”Adrian stepped closer.“You didn’t love me.”Sophia shook her head.“Don’t.”“You used me.”“Stop.”“
