There was no sky.
No wind.
No time.
Only Earth.
All existence — the living, the unliving, the divine, the monstrous, the mundane, and the forgotten — collapsed into a single speck of soil. A planet gasping in silence, saturated with the eternal grief of what had once been infinite.
And at the edge of this new beginning stood Seed — no longer only a child, no longer merely an extension of Abyssus.
He stood barefoot upon the trembling crust of compressed being, eyes wide and shimmering with ancient power that was once tethered by innocence. The death of Abyssus had altered him. Not just in form, but in purpose.
The Absolute Void still coursed through him like silent blood. It was not rage, nor grief, nor sorrow. Seed had no words for it. But in the space where feeling would exist, he held something deeper:
Resolution.

Earth itself screamed without sound.
Its oceans surged with the chaos of collapsed stars. Mountain ranges were spine-like, rib-like, as if the skeletons of entire civilizations had been folded into its core. The sky was thick — not with air — but with the pressure of overlapping histories grinding into one another.
Cities of thought. Rivers of soul. Mountains of myth.
All crammed into a single trembling sphere.
Seed walked.
And with every step, the ground beneath him pulsed. The dust of forgotten gods clung to his feet, and the air rippled like memory revisiting its birth.
He lifted a hand.
And the Void responded — not with destruction, but reversal.
Where Abyssus had once torn, Seed began to re-thread.

Creation 1: The First Stitch — Dimension Asha’Ruun
9Please respect copyright.PENANAVclENovgd6
A tear formed in the air before him — not violent, but soft.
A rift of light and silence.
Through it, Seed gestured. No words. No rituals. Just intent — the will to create, not destroy.
And from this motion, Asha’Ruun was born.
A dimension of iridescent wind, where time moved like music and thought bloomed into color. Its landscapes floated — not on planets, but on questions. Entire continents swam through the sky like great beasts made of crystal and silence.
Beings within Asha’Ruun awoke with no memory of pain, only the instinct to grow. Seed watched, but did not enter.
They were not his children.
They were his atonement.

Creation 2: The Unweaving — Restoring the Multiversal Lattice
9Please respect copyright.PENANAXRBKK22LBQ
He turned to the heavens.
There were no stars yet. Only black folds of memory, still bruised from Abyssus’s sweeping erasure.
With both hands raised, Seed uttered a single phrase — the first language, older than thought, older than being:
“Unbind. Remember. Breathe.”
And the stars obeyed.
Not as individuals, but as entangled echoes of the multiverse itself.
Fractures began to heal.
The lattice of universes — shattered in Chapter 9, torn in Chapter 13 — began to restitch, thread by luminous thread. Realities that had blinked from existence returned in slow, breathing pulses.
Universes unfurled like origami, and Seed stood in the center of it all — a singularity of revival.

Creation 3: The Garden of Unnames — A Realm Outside Meaning
9Please respect copyright.PENANAm35TNAvgbZ
Beyond space, beyond even the Absolute Void, Seed formed a hidden pocket: the Garden of Unnames.
A dimension with no structure. No physics. No myth.
Here, he stored what had no place — anomalies, broken truths, paradoxes once imprisoned or destroyed by Abyssus.
Seed planted pieces of the Conceptual Plane, shattered by Abyssus’s philosophical rampage in Chapter 7, and let them bloom into trees of impossibility.
One tree grew memories.9Please respect copyright.PENANAs8w1vkAMrl
Another tree shed timelines as leaves.9Please respect copyright.PENANAB2z6SDFtSZ
A third whispered forgotten names — like "Seraphiel", “Lyra”, “Tavin” — names that still bore weight in the fabric of now.
The Garden was quiet.
Not peaceful.
Just aware.
9Please respect copyright.PENANABIp89Y05SP
Time had not yet returned.
But Space...Space came back curious.
It took shape beside Seed — a form made of mirror-fragments and infinite distances.
Space: “Why do you rebuild what can be destroyed again?”
Seed looked up, eyes glowing with void-light and newborn stars.
Seed: “Because I can.”
Space: “Will you become like Him?”
Seed paused.
Then, with the softest expression — one almost like a smile, but not quite — he said:
9Please respect copyright.PENANATly5GK5QCR
Seed: “No. I will become me.”
9Please respect copyright.PENANA1FWFkCz2SH
In the reborn universes, statues appeared — unmarked and silent.
Each one bore the image of a Herald.
Seraphiel’s wings in flame and ruin.9Please respect copyright.PENANAG4WCNn2GL8
Elkarin turned to stone mid-strike.9Please respect copyright.PENANA5KAdDL3vyZ
Laziel, eyes forever closed.9Please respect copyright.PENANAzXUfsi9EN5
Vael’s spear shattered.9Please respect copyright.PENANAwWlz26GC64
And the unnamed two, whose lives ended without even memory to carry them forward.
Seed visited each statue in silence.
He touched them all.
Each time, something invisible was restored — a moment, a breath, a fragment of song that once defined who they were.
Even in their annihilation, they mattered.
9Please respect copyright.PENANAJMNGV9AxMz
At Earth’s molten center, Seed left one last construct: the Cradle Engine.
It was not mechanical.
It was not divine.
It was possibility.
It pulsed with every new dream, every thought in the newborn multiverses. A system to ensure that creation would never again depend on a single will.
Not his.
Not Abyssus’s.
Not even God’s.
With it, Seed made sure that the future would never again be held hostage by perfection.
9Please respect copyright.PENANAl1L9tCgpE6
And when his work was done — for now — Seed stood on the edge of Asha’Ruun and gazed into the new heavens.
They were not perfect.
But they lived.
A voice echoed behind him — not loud, not soft. Just there.
“You understand now,” it said.
Seed didn’t turn. He knew who it was.
The memory of Abyssus. Not his will, not his soul — just the echo of what had been.
Seed: “I understand enough.”
Echo: “Then go further.”
Seed: “I will.”
The voice faded.
The Seed did not.
He stepped into the darkness between worlds — not to rule it…
…but to plant.
9Please respect copyright.PENANAZD12PwmOT7
The winds moved again.
Soft. Gentle. Like the breath of a child sleeping.
Oceans pulsed with color. Mountains stood tall, no longer broken monuments of forgotten pain but living spires, pulsing with a subtle green light that hummed to the rhythm of Earth's new soul.
And in the center of it all…
Seed stood still.
His form shimmered — no longer childlike, nor divine — but one with the very nature of Earth itself. Every root, every current, every speck of soil responded to him, not as a god…
…but as a guardian.
Around him, stood the last echoes of the others.
Lyra, her eyes wide with awe.9Please respect copyright.PENANAkFpUuA6Ih6
Tavin, silent, hand resting on the cracked hilt of his old weapon.9Please respect copyright.PENANAdGxIl6MEwa
And high above them, constellations in the shapes of the fallen Heralds whispered across the sky in remembrance.
9Please respect copyright.PENANAzUCXMX2O8p
Seed turned to them.
His voice was not louder than the wind, but it carried through the marrow of the world.
“This world is the final breath of all that ever was.”
“Abyssus… was the hand that destroyed.”
“I am the hand that remembers.”
He reached down and placed a single hand upon the ground.
The earth shivered — not in fear, but in acceptance.
“I will stay here.”
“I will become it.”
“Earth will never fall again.”
9Please respect copyright.PENANA3tJXthFizL
The ground beneath Seed cracked softly — not broken, but opening — like a seed returning to soil.
His body melted into light, veins of gold and green weaving into the roots, rivers, clouds, tectonic plates. His eyes dimmed, and yet the sky lit with new color.
The entire planet pulsed once, and with that pulse, Mother Nature was born — not as an idea, but as Seed incarnate.
The Earth had a soul now.
One that would never forgive harm.
One that would always protect.
One that creates.
