Colors bled into one another.
The mirrored floor turned liquid, shimmering with threads of ancient memory.
Kaelen's body was now cloaked in golden light that spiraled like living flame — the presence of Eternity fully awake within him. His voice deepened, layered with a resonance that seemed to exist beyond the boundary of time itself.

Judgement's radiance dimmed; Knowledge's countless eyes flickered rapidly, like candles in the wind.
Even Order — the immutable one — faltered, a crack marring the golden geometry of his form.
Origin, who had once spoken gently to Kaelen, now rose in trembling awe. Her voice was soft, quivering.
