He stands—alone in emptiness—where stars blaze bright across a boundless cosmos.
The body urges flight; his foot pushes off from nothing, chasing a path unseen.
THE MAN dashes on, searching for a certain something.
In his left hand he carries an orb—THE TRUTH—glowing an alluring pink, heavy with a weight that cannot be felt.
His deep-brown, calming eyes roam: left and right, up and down.
A sudden turn—left.
Click! A bizarre emerald lighter flares, casting a soothing lime glow. He flicks it upward; the flame slices open the fabric of spacetime. Two steps back—then a leap of FAITH. As he passes through, the tear stitches itself closed.
The 67th Gate
His eyes wander again: right—yellow; left—red.
THE MAN dashes left, steady and swift.
Minutes later he stops, drawing a long breath.
Again, the lighter snaps. Again, a rip. Again, a leap of FAITH. Exhale.
The 68th Gate
The eyes roam once more.
Left—red.He dashes left, faster and faster.
After countless steps he halts, grief rising.
REGRET floods his heart; a sigh of FRUSTRATION and ANGER escapes.
Too hasty—seeing red without even a glimpse to the right, he chose the wrong left.
He turns back. The path behind is invisible, glassy as ambition.The way forward is red—upward.
The 68th Gate (again)
Left—red. Right—orange.The lighter lifts with a flicker of hope and a breath of relief.
A comforting lime spark flares—then fades, chased by a freezing wind from behind.
He trembles… and runs from the unseen danger.
It seems that while THE MAN sought something, another sought THE MAN.And he expected this meeting at the 68th Gate all along.
In the center of the cosmos two Supreme Entities face each other.
A colossal being, larger than mountains—THE DESTRUCTION—looms above THE MAN.
From its immense ear hangs an earring of blank paper: THE WISH, dancing in cosmic energy.
Parting its ravine-like lips, it speaks:
"WAIT. The path you take is not selfless but quite the contrary. Consider the power you hold—it is no mere force… it is THE FORCE."
"SHUT UP."THE MAN's words split the stars."I know you well. Even if I wished to believe, this Verse will not allow it. Where you and I stand, there is no second thought. We are fated to rip out each other's hearts."
"Very well," murmurs THE DESTRUCTION, sorrow heavy. It draws forth its own heart and transforms into a being of true Destruction.
In answer, THE MAN draws THE BLADE, enchanted with THE FORCE, clutching THE TRUTH.
An epic clash unfolds, reality itself wavering.
They spend nearly all their celestial might.
As the end nears—victory leaning to THE MAN—
"At last… may I now fulfill my dream, my friend?"
"…Sorry."THE DESTRUCTION lowers its gaze—not for guilt of the past, but for the deed to come.
It plucks THE WISH from its ear and prays, incomplete:
"Summon… THE CHAOS."
The blank paper ignites with a new name. It burns bright and loud.
And indeed THE CHAOS arrives.
She creeps up on 'THE MAN' from behind. Her arms in tangle the man . Her poisonous naked body clings passionately to his back .
Her scorching and lustful poison in grave 'THE MAN' ; already exhausted after his fight, he can't resist .The fierceness of her skin burns through all of his protection.
Clinging him more intensely she pulls him down . Away from this cosmos to her own , dragging him into the sea of her poison she cling on hard to him not letting him go.
'THE MAN' lies flat — seeing the sun above tries to reach it but 'THE CHAOS' still clinging to his back pulls him deeper into the dark depths were any light ray of hope can't reach.
But — 'THE CHAOS' drowning in her own sea of poison has also now caught the symptoms .
'THE MAN' still trying to escape his end , elbows her chest .
'THE CHOAS' lets out a moan — (insert one here) —"Hey , no need to be so aggressive come on now finally be one with me ". — She opens her mouth a bit dripping with a special kind of poison — she bites down hard into his neck .
'THE MAN' lets out a moan in grief — (insert one here) — as the teeth pierce into him the poison enters his being and no ordinary poison ;
The Strongest Poison Of All :THE REGRET OF PAST.
His heart grows cold. The orb glows a faint pink. The wandering of his deep brown eyes seems to have come to an end . The eyes close shut .
Along with THE DREAMS
...............
An eternal rest.
