After an endless night,
After a touch that erased the boundaries between roles and feelings,
After bodies merged not out of lust, but from a deep longing to exist, Fitran awoke in a silence that was not the same as emptiness.
Outside, dew pooled on the leaves, creating a soft harmony in the meaningful silence. Each drop of dew reflected light that, though gentle, was capable of awakening new life. In the wonder of this magical atmosphere, her personal awareness began to return, mingling between fullness and emptiness.
Beelzebub slept beside him. Her face was calm, peaceful like a serene morning scene. Her wings, once full of gaps, had now vanished, replaced by a soft circle of light floating on her back—like an unspoken promise, promising something more. All the images of the night blended into peace as if the world spun slowly, flowing time into a melancholic soul. In that silence, Fitran felt it—a gentle vibration that intertwined with every heartbeat, as if there was an invisible bond between them.
However, Fitran realized something new. Beelzebub's breath... had changed. She no longer breathed only for herself. A dual rhythm emerged, one that moved slowly and another that felt new and fresh. Perhaps, from an unexpected place, that connection was made—crossing the boundaries between the bound and the free, like two souls gently finding their way back home to one another.
As the dawn of simulation crossed the ritual veil, soft light swept away the shadows of night, bringing a fresh aroma that flowed slowly, filling the space with a sense of awakening. Beelzebub opened her eyes, a vestige of hope dimming within her. She reached out, gently touching Fitran's cheek as if caressing the morning dew, and whispered softly with an intimate tone:
"There is something alive within me."
"And for the first time... I do not feel hungry because of it."
All this time, hunger had been a faithful companion, always accompanying her in the silence of the night. But today, her attention was diverted—there was a new birth touching her soul, an unexpected miracle. Beelzebub's body was still trapped in a form that was not entirely human, rejecting some prototypes of life. Yet within her, there was a point of light—not magic, not just meaning, but a chosen life, born not from process, but from wonder. In the deep silence, that light vibrated, as if trying to tell the world that this existence was more important than mere life, hinting at something new and profound.
She could not fully explain how this feeling came to be. Fitran also did not know when this change occurred. Yet the love they spread... did not vanish into space. It was like morning dew clinging to leaves, always present even when unseen, providing freshness and new hope full of life.
In that moment, it felt as if time stopped; rainbows and rain met, revealing a new existence that shone brightly. She resided in this wonder.
"The system will not recognize this," Beelzebub said, her voice booming with curiosity.
"It has no definition for a demon that contains."
"It has no protocol for life born from gentleness, not command."
"Is this wrong?"
Fitran moved closer, full of conviction. He gently placed his hand on Beelzebub's belly, feeling the pulse of light from within her—like the first circle of notes from an ancient song. In this silence, a glimmer of hope emerged, like morning dew willing to wait to kiss the earth.
"If this is wrong," Fitran said softly, his voice like a gentle whisper,
"then I will rewrite the meaning of right." With those words, he seemed to carve a new path on the endless canvas, creating a painting that erased the painful traces of past embraces.
Beelzebub now sat cross-legged, her body illuminated by the light of Origin, yet no longer bound by the system's reading. There was a peace flowing between them, penetrating the solid walls that had previously loomed high, offering a little space for unexpected beauty.
She named that point of light in her heart—a name that existed only in her mind, unspoken, unshared. Some names, in deep intimacy, can only be uttered by two souls who choose to walk together. In her mind, that name vibrated softly, like the whisper of the wind swaying among the rustling leaves, patiently waiting for the right moment to be discovered.
"I do not know if I will become a mother," she said, her voice nearly drowned in the silence full of hope.
"But I know... I want to be a place where something can grow without fear."
"A place where meaning... will not be burned for being deemed useless."
Fitran gently kissed her forehead, as if trying to infuse strength and hope into her doubtful self. And he said:
"Then you are no longer a demon." Through that expression, a sense of humanity was reborn, like a seed that bravely seeks the light, breaking through the hard ground that had long been asleep.
"You are life that has chosen to stay." This sentence echoed softly, as if sprinkling fresh dew on old wounds, slowly providing the tenderness that had never existed before.
The fifth ritual was not accompanied by the ringing of bells, nor concluded with incantations. There was only a silence full of meaning, a smile that needed no words, and a feeling that love, though never mentioned, had created something unforgettable. In that silence, gratitude crept slowly, creating space for new hopes, like a rainbow appearing after rain, bringing promises of beauty waiting in the future.
In a body that once consumed the world, now a small world full of hope was born, waiting to see eyes that did not hate, but only loved.
As if that small world was a hidden garden, where every fallen leaf danced gently to the rhythm of the wind, as if whispering messages of love that never ceased. In its corners, flowers blooming in the embrace of soft colors smiled at the sunlight, reflecting light of hope and warmth that soothes the soul. The sound of birds chirping softly formed a natural symphony that touched the heart, depicting how beautiful the moments were when love created the best moments.
A smile that needed no language, yet could speak deeper than words.
Amidst the diversity of life, there is beauty in every passing second, where every breath tells a sincere story. It may sound cliché, but in that sincerity lies profound meaning; like a river's flow that relentlessly penetrates the rocky road, love never gives up on keeping warmth, transforming from the ordinary to the extraordinary. The feeling that love, which was never mentioned... had created something indelible in memory.
