Episode 20--
Fahim is standing on that invisible surface.
"No, it's not your fault. It's the rules of the universe," echoed a voice from all sides of the space.
Fahim was listening to the voice, turned back, and saw nothing. The voice was coming from all sides of the space.
"It's fate, and fate is above everything else. Even if reality can change, once fate happens, we can't undo it. So, feeling bad about something you think is your fault is pointless-it's not really your fault," the voice continued, its tone gentle but firm.
"Who is there?" said Fahim with a determined tone.
The bright light of the space started glowing more, and those bright lights created a bright white entity in front of Fahim.
Fahim saw this happening and stood back, and the bright entity came in front of him.
"Sorry, actually, all this is happening is not your fault at all. It's me who could not save my creation. I really regret what I have done," says the bright entity.
Fahim said, "Who are you?" The warm and peaceful bright light was shown.
"I am Nur," says the entity.
"Nur? I've heard that word before. It means 'light' in Arabic," Fahim remarked, connecting the dots. "Wait, and the dark figure also mentioned something about someone named Nar."
"Yes, Fjink mentioned me, and to be honest, all this happening is my fault," Nur admitted.
"I still don't understand. What do you mean?" Fahim asked, intrigued.
"I am Nur, known as the god of light by some, but I am not a god. I was created to bring life, light, and fill the universe with my creations. Specifically, I created humans," Nur explained.
"Humans? You mean us?" Fahim asked, a hint of disbelief in his voice.
"Yes, all of my intelligent creations had their specialties, but I wanted to create the perfect creation with no additional features. That's when I devised the plan for humans, giving them the infinite potential of a seal," Nur elaborated.
"A seal? What do you mean by that?" Fahim inquired, puzzled.
"It's like the way I, as the creator of humans, ended up being sealed inside you, who is a human," Nur clarified.
"I'm not understanding what you're saying," says Fahim to Nur.
"Yeah, I might have gotten a bit off topic.
Well, after I created humans, things started to change. My superiors began to question my judgment for granting humans limitless potential. Despite their doubts, I refused to consider destroying humanity because I believed humans were my greatest creation.
However, as humans continued to evolve, the idea of their destruction was raised in a meeting among my superiors. I protested vehemently, but they presented me with a choice: either be sealed away as a crystal or watch humanity be wiped out.
I chose to be sealed as a crystal for two reasons. Firstly, I felt I had no new life to create, no purpose left. Secondly, my superiors claimed that only a human with true will could break the crystal's seal. So, I accepted my fate and allowed myself to be sealed away. I ended up in the void of the universe, which lies between the Nither Dimension and the Superlative Universe.
The king of the Nither Dimension, aspiring to conquer the Superlative Universe, sought to consume my power and seal me inside him. However, upon touching my crystal form, he became trapped in the void. Fortunately, my guardian angel managed to send the crystal to Earth, where you found it.
Your strong will saved me from that seal, and I became sealed inside you a few days ago," Nur explained.
"So, that's how you ended up sealed inside me?" Fahim asked.
"Yeah, I suppose after you unsealed me from the crystal, the seal that trapped Fjink in the void was also unlocked, as it was made up of my energy. That's how he came to Earth using the same portal as my guardian," Nur confirmed.
"So, what is Fjink's motive after taking your power?" Fahim inquired, his voice tinged with concern.
"Listen, I know you'll feel guilty, but he plans to consume the Earth and then all life in the universe," Nur revealed.
"What?" Fahim exclaimed, shocked by the revelation.
"Yes, he will. Right now, he's absorbing the energy of the Earth, and if he succeeds, he'll gain complete control over your consciousness. Then, there won't be any life left in the universe that I created," Nur explained solemnly.
"No way, no way. What have I done? Does that mean I'll be responsible for all the deaths in the universe after that? It can't be," Fahim thought, feeling a heavy weight of guilt settle on his shoulders.
"Why are you feeling so guilty? I told you, there's nothing you did wrong," Nur reassured him.
"Isn't there anything I can do? Anything?" Fahim asked desperately, searching for a glimmer of hope.
