The voice faded.But its final words remained suspended in the darkness.I am you.And I have come to take back my choice.Arielle's arms tightened around Elias.The baby stared into the empty sky.He did not cry.He did not smile.He simply watched.Cassian stepped in front of them.Everyone stay together.Lyra immediately moved beside him.Elara joined them, while Kael and Adrian stood on either side of Arielle.Noah looked upward.Dawn closed his eyes.Hope grabbed the Witness child's hand.Even Fear looked unsettled.The Beginning and The End stood completely still.Arielle looked toward the Creator.You said the Primordial existed before existence.The Creator nodded.Then what is that?The Creator looked at Elias.Something that should not be possible.Arielle's voice hardened.That answer isn't good enough.The Creator looked at her.Then I'll give you the truth.She pointed toward the sky.The future cannot normally speak to the past.But your son is different.Why?Because he

The voice disappeared, but its final words remained suspended over the broken sky.I am you.And I have come to take back my choice.Arielle held Elias closer against her chest.The baby was awake now, his tiny face turned toward the darkness above them. One moment ago, he had been an ordinary child in her arms. Now the entire universe seemed to be waiting for whatever he would do next.Cassian moved beside Arielle.Give him to me.Arielle looked at her husband.Cassian's eyes never left the sky.If something comes for you, it will have to come through me first.Arielle hesitated before carefully placing Elias in his arms.The moment Cassian took the baby, the darkness above them shifted.A figure began forming inside it.At first, it was nothing more than a silhouette.Then came shoulders.Arms.A face.A young man stepped through the darkness.He looked about twenty-five years old, but something about him suggested that he had lived far longer than any human should.He had dark hair

Morning came quietly.For the first time in several days, the sky above the house was completely ordinary.No cracks.No strange lights.No voices coming from beyond the stars.Just pale sunlight slipping through the curtains and falling across the floor.Arielle sat beside Elias's small bed, watching him sleep.He looked so peaceful.So innocent.Nothing about the little boy suggested that he could one day become the most dangerous being the universe had ever known.And that was exactly what frightened her.She reached down and gently touched his cheek.Elias stirred.His little fingers wrapped around hers.Arielle smiled despite herself.Then she heard footsteps behind her.Cassian stood at the doorway.He did not speak immediately.He simply looked at Arielle and then at their son.Finally, he walked over and crouched beside her.You did not sleep again.Arielle shook her head.I kept thinking about what the woman showed me.The possible future.Cassian's expression became serious.

Arielle could not breathe.The ruined city stretched before her, disappearing piece by piece into the darkness.People vanished without screams.Buildings dissolved without falling.Even the sunlight seemed to be forgotten.And at the center of it all stood Elias.Her son.Twenty-five years old.Brown eyes.The same face she had kissed that morning.The same voice that had once called her Mum.But something about him was different.He looked tired.Not physically.Something deeper.He looked like someone who had carried an entire universe on his shoulders and had finally realized that the weight was crushing him.Arielle turned toward Hope.You said I have to choose which Elias deserves to live.Hope's eyes filled with tears.I said that because that is what it wants you to believe.Arielle stared at her.The darkness behind them moved.So that was the trap.Not the choice itself.The belief that there had to be only one answer.Arielle looked back at the city.Two Elias.One was the
