As the blinding light swallowed me whole, my consciousness unraveled like sand through my trembling fingers. In that moment of utter dissolution, the boundaries between existence and oblivion blurred. I sensed nothing but an overwhelming emptiness—a void that stretched infinitely in all directions, a blank canvas awaiting its first, fateful stroke.103Please respect copyright.PENANAxTXUFhFFdN
When I came to, or rather, when I awoke in this strange limbo, I found myself standing in a vast expanse of nothingness. It was a realm neither defined by darkness nor illuminated by light. Instead, it was an endless plain of quiet potential—a silent witness to the birth of something entirely new.103Please respect copyright.PENANAQG38jA4hxc
Before me, as if suspended in the ether, floated three orbs of swirling light. Each orb radiated a distinct hue—one shone with the cool, steady glimmer of blue; another burned with a fierce, passionate red; and the third pulsed with a gentle, luminescent green. They moved in a deliberate, hypnotic dance around a single, imposing object: a book, shaped with uncanny precision and pulsating as though it harbored a life of its own.103Please respect copyright.PENANACsF07rjGeL
Drawn by a force I could neither understand nor resist, I extended my hand. For a fleeting heartbeat, uncertainty held me back—yet curiosity, insatiable and raw, overpowered caution. The moment my fingertips grazed the book's cover, a torrent of unfathomable knowledge burst into my mind. The information, sharp and overwhelming, seared itself into every fiber of my being until my head throbbed with the weight of revelations.103Please respect copyright.PENANAcYdQRfPyzO
A series of cryptic inscriptions and symbols unfolded before my inner eye:103Please respect copyright.PENANALuQpEmZuWy
[ Codex of Creation ]Known also as the God's Handbook. A unique artifact that grants the bearer the power to inscribe stories, forge imprints, and alter fate itself.103Please respect copyright.PENANAYupVEpUVmo
My heartbeat thundered in my ears, a frantic drum against the silence of the void. Cold sweat dripped down my spine as the Codex's pulse synced with my own. The revelation left me breathless—a sacred text delivered at the very moment I teetered on the brink of death. Yet, there was no time for idle wonder. The three orbs, now drawn inexorably toward the Codex, converged and merged into its very essence. The book's surface shivered as new words began to etch themselves into its ancient pages, as if ink materializing on pristine parchment from some unseen quill.103Please respect copyright.PENANAzmgJ8plCbh
With trembling anticipation, I opened the Codex. The text appeared in a solemn, otherworldly script that seemed to resonate with the pulse of the cosmos:103Please respect copyright.PENANAriyJEStvh5

Questions swirled in my mind—dense and multifaceted, like an incantation half-remembered. Before I could even begin to process these new revelations, a voice emerged—a voice so calm and devoid of human warmth that it seemed to echo from deep within my soul.103Please respect copyright.PENANAcarCPlkyVL
The voice that answered was neither male nor female, a chorus of whispers and static.103Please respect copyright.PENANAQNhT7PV9rQ
[Designation: Codex Spirit. Primary function: To serve. Secondary function: To survive.] 103Please respect copyright.PENANAXiNydyF3AH
[Query: Do you wish to rename this unit?]103Please respect copyright.PENANAqCjHsZrlah
I stiffened, scanning the featureless void for any sign of another presence. Yet there was nothing but that disembodied voice—a spectral sound resonating as if born from the very core of my being.103Please respect copyright.PENANAyQ7hmeZvg6
"…You can speak?" I managed, my voice tentative, the uncertainty in my heart laid bare.103Please respect copyright.PENANAwMOFb7phAd
[ I can. Fear not—I am bound to you. Your death is my death. Trust must be earned, but I ask you to grant me that chance. ]103Please respect copyright.PENANAuhZaBnfMuc
Kael blinked. "You sound like a machine."103Please respect copyright.PENANABPI672Rr9W
[Correction: I am a guide. But a name…] For the first time, her voice wavered, almost wistful. 103Please respect copyright.PENANAknNUORMZvM
[A name would make me more.]103Please respect copyright.PENANARDMnLdx1NL
Something in that measured cadence, so oddly sincere, eased the tension that gripped me. My shoulders relaxed ever so slightly, and I dared to press on.103Please respect copyright.PENANA850OAc3jWM
[ Would you care to name me, Host? ]103Please respect copyright.PENANAxXhLdYGFZQ
The request struck me like a spark in the darkness. Name it? I closed my eyes in contemplation as the silence stretched. Then, with a clarity that seemed fated, a name surfaced in the depths of my mind.103Please respect copyright.PENANAat7XfbzhZq
"Elia. I'll call you Elia."103Please respect copyright.PENANAgceT55IBEv
[ Elia… Thank you, Host. I shall bear this name with pride and serve you to the utmost of my ability. ]103Please respect copyright.PENANAnPuvEYpjQQ
The voice softened further, as if warmed by the familiarity of a name finally given. A small smile tugged at the corners of my lips—a rare moment of solace amid the storm of revelations.103Please respect copyright.PENANAZ1AexuUdby
Gathering courage, I inquired, "Since you've alowed me to question, can you tell me—what exactly is an Arcanna? And how did I come to possess these three that you mentioned?"103Please respect copyright.PENANAqpiFB4NEj1
Elia paused, as though the weight of the question demanded careful thought.103Please respect copyright.PENANAZslGU1FPma
[Arcanna are not mere powers—they are covenants,] Elia said, as the Codex flickered to a page titled Arcanna. [To awaken one, you must become its myth. The Earth Will demands sacrifice. The Sun Will demands ambition. The Moon Will demands secrets] she finished with with much tension.103Please respect copyright.PENANAkoWtZmAt6g
Each word sank into me like a slow, inexorable tide. The nature of my destiny was shifting in ways I had never imagined.103Please respect copyright.PENANAqNNcSaZJaq
"And what about these beings—Earth Will, Sun Will, Moon Will? Who or what are they? And what does it mean when it speaks of 'The First Story'?"103Please respect copyright.PENANA0lplzJX71u
[ Regrettably, I possess no further data on these entities—their nature may well transcend my current authority. As for 'The First Story'… it signifies that you are unbound by fate. No fate thread ties you to a preordained destiny. You must, therefore, carve your path through the crucible of experience. ]103Please respect copyright.PENANA9lH5X9DBsX
Her tone turned grave, the gravity of fate unmistakable in every syllable.103Please respect copyright.PENANAS0eHlKRgBl
[ If I may offer counsel, Host, consider veiling the truth of your Codex. Refer to it as a Codex of Myths instead of the Codex of Creation. I have also used the bit of my authority to influence the awakening ceremony for it to show a Codex of Myths identification. For your imprint, you can tell them what it is since it is your personal information and no one would ask about that. This subtle renaming may help deflect dangerous attention, and attract the interest of powerful factions—like the Tower de Sanctum—that might protect you and your future progeny. ]103Please respect copyright.PENANARq7YX22xdJ
Her advice, so laced with caution and wisdom, resonated deeply. I nodded slowly, absorbing the profound implications of her words.103Please respect copyright.PENANAhciAVnUn8a
"…Thank you, Elia. Your guidance is more valuable than you know."103Please respect copyright.PENANAUG29YNpzRG
[ It is my eternal purpose to serve you, Host. ]103Please respect copyright.PENANAsDm0iMlAaf
Before I could pose any further inquiries, a sudden, invisible force yanked at my very essence—a vacuum that distorted the space around me. The void trembled and the void fractured like glass, and I fell—but sideways, reality's scream clawing at my ears. My hands burned with phantom starlight.103Please respect copyright.PENANAXSYQc8zqD7
I closed my eyes, surrendering to the inexorable tide of transformation, knowing that the secrets of the Codex, the dormant Arcanna, and the fact that the fate of me shall be opened to me in the future.
