For the ancient entities, the Voidwalkers, the seekers of meaning, they all share one thing in common:
they desire something.
Power. Eternity. Will. Meaning.
However, Umbra-Khalid desires nothing. He simply exists. He only wishes to be acknowledged. Without needing to be understood. Without needing to be explained.
In his solitude, he listens to the whispers of the wind carrying ancient voices—unhealed wounds, forgotten memories. Among the timeless shadows, lost souls call out his name, yet he stands firm, unaffected by the endless cries. So many hopes have vanished, and in that silence, he feels an emptiness merging with his soul, a reminder that in every call, there is an inherent powerlessness—a recognition that the quest for meaning is a journey without end.
His existence is profound silence, an empty space filled with all possibilities and uncertainties. He gazes into the darkness, not with fear, but with a deep tranquility that transcends understanding.
And because of that… he is the most dangerous.
Since the Fourth Spiral was embedded in his chest, Fitran has spoken little. He remains gentle towards Beelzebub and Elyra. However, the look in his eyes has changed.
Fitran no longer sees the future. He only sees everything as it is. In the silence, immersed in quiet observation, there is a heavy feeling that envelops his heart. An unexpected change, uncertainty looming, creates a hidden tension within him. He remembers the moments that once adorned his life, recalling vividly how each decision felt like a step on the edge of a cliff, where every risk had to be accepted, yet came with an increasingly binding burden.
In the silence that surrounds him, he senses the irregular movement of time, as if the clock has stopped, and hope lay in tatters. Each second seeps into his consciousness, delivering waves of sadness and tranquility at once. Behind this uncertainty, he discovers a new meaning—that not everything worth fighting for exists, and that itself is a form of liberation. In the deepest corner of his heart, he yearns for something that will never come, as if there is a shadow of the past that continues to follow him, whispering faint hopes that can only be heard by a longing soul.
Fitran had no plans. He did not make any designs. Yet his presence changed the world, because the world felt seen… without expectation. As if he were a light in the darkness, his existence brought hope to souls trapped in uncertainty, proving that even when unspoken, love can manifest in the quietest forms.
Like moonlight piercing through dark clouds, his presence enveloped other souls in an unexpected warmth. And in the stillness, Fitran realized that within this emptiness, there was beauty; a beauty born from surrendering to life as it is, without demands or burdensome hopes. He recalled small moments, laughter and tears etched in his memory like footprints in the sand, guiding him back to the bitter reality he must confront.
Beelzebub embraced Elyra more tightly each night. In that embrace, there seemed to be an unspoken promise that they would safeguard one another, even as the outside world was chaotic and painful, they were each other's refuge.
The night breeze whispered softly through the window cracks, carrying the scent of blooming night flowers. In the darkness, it felt as if time stood still, creating a space where only the two of them existed, trapped in memories that could not be changed. Each passing second filled the space with a suffocating uncertainty. Yet, amid the silence, there was a resonant voice, a voice that affirmed that even though life was filled with unanswered questions, their presence for one another was the most beautiful assurance that ever existed.
"You've changed," she said to Fitran.
"You love me. But now... your love seems as if it no longer rests on me."
Fitran didn't respond.
He simply held her hand gently. In the silence surrounding them, an awkwardness flowed, solidifying between them like thick fog, making every word seem heavy to utter.
Within Fitran's heart, a voice trembled faintly, as if doubting its own existence. He felt this vibration, akin to the distant tolling of a bell reminding him of something lost—something that was once ever-present, yet their connection now felt like the remnants of shattered memories. For a fleeting moment, he saw a younger version of himself, full of enthusiasm, but each step forward always seemed just out of reach. In this silence, it was as if his soul wove a thousand questions, wondering why the love that once was had transformed into this, why each precious moment had evolved into shadows of solitude.
"Because I now also love a part of myself…
that I have hidden from you all this time."
Beelzebub looked at him.
That gaze seemed capable of penetrating the layers of defense Fitran had built. Behind her profound look, there was a pulsating hope—a hope for understanding, a hope for acceptance. Yet among that hope lingered a creeping doubt, murky and unsettling, as if reminding them that not all souls are ready to embrace love, especially when the shadows of the past continue to haunt.
As the two of them found themselves caught in that moment of silence, the voices outside seemed to fade away, granting them the space to ponder the lurking uncertainty from every angle. This moment felt as if time had stopped, and the emptiness between them bore silent witness to the struggle of unspoken emotions, with each second dragging on like a thousand years trapped in unexpressed sorrow.
"So now… I'm not the only one who can touch you?"
Fitran hung his head down.
Yet, in his mind, an image of an unfilled void flickered. He felt as if he were walking on a fragile bridge, where each step could send him tumbling into eternal darkness. The thought of his inability to connect with his own soul enveloped him like a thick fog, reminding him of the boundaries he had erected. In the silence, he struggled to piece together every word, seeking meaning behind each haunting silence. In his mind, the images of those who had once been in his life flickered; shadows that filled the emptiness now only left faint traces. Sadness seeped in, becoming part of every breath he took, as if urging him to delve deeper into the darkness that threatened.
"No one can touch me completely. Not even myself."
At the depth of the First Door's crack, Umbra-Khalid spread like ink with no direction. It neither swallowed nor called.
This space is now silent and terrifying, as if trapped in stillness. Every wall absorbs the loneliness, waiting for a brave soul to penetrate it. Shadows leap in the dark corners, whispering in a language long forgotten. Amid those whispers, there is a faint call of hope; a longing for profound understanding that could fill the emptiness and pierce the curtain of uncertainty. Yet that hope feels fragile, almost inaudible, as if swayed by the wind of an endless quiet land.
However, the entire linguistic space in the world begins to distort:
Magic spells lose the order of their meanings.
Prayers sound merely like noise.
The magic contract shattered for no apparent reason.
Those who remain in this world feel alienated, as if trapped between reality and shadow. In their doubt, they wonder whether their words still hold value, knowing that Umbra-Khalid seems to strip all power from expressions that once possessed depth. In the silence that envelops them, they sense a binding emptiness, as if the world around them were a blurred painting, shrouded in the shadows of disappointment and lost hopes.
"We cannot demand reality…
because reality seems unwilling to respond," said an architect of glyphs in Atlantis.
From within Umbra-Khalid, a voice emerged:
The voice echoed, touching the soul of every listener who dared to hear. In the threshold between time and space, the resonance set the stage for those who wished to understand the meaning behind each missing letter. In every heartbeat, there was a tension that resonated in the depths of the heart, as if time itself trembled, demanding acknowledgment of all that has been forgotten. A gentle breeze blew, carrying faint hope buried within the darkness.
"I do not create.
I do not guide.
I simply record those who were not remembered."
Only dreams and memories remain, swirling like a storm within the soul. Each word seems to strive to revive the stories buried in the mind, attempting to alleviate the suffocating uncertainty. Amidst it all, there lies a repressed desire—a longing to rediscover her lost self, one that once resided in the embrace of soothing eternity. Life's meaning, like a sheath, has eroded under the currents of time, leaving behind faint traces.
"I am not will.
I am what does not become will."
There is no hope for the future, only an eternity trapped in silence. The pain of missed decisions and lost possibilities envelops those who listen. In neglect, they find peace, until the emptiness feels more genuine than anger. As if time itself no longer held meaning, their hearts sink into an ocean of sorrow, where each second feels like a memory that was never born, demanding to be remembered even while submerged in void.
Gaia established the Psionic Council to protect the collective memory from distortion.
Earth sent a disassembler force to trace the resonance source in Philistines. However, they were confronted by a storm along the way. Dark clouds obscured the light, as if a guardian prohibiting the truth from being revealed; the soft whispers from deep within their hearts seemed to remind them that every step forward could shatter the remaining hope.
Atlantis attempted to re-code the phenomenon into Proto language to halt the expansion of the Fourth Spiral.
Yet all efforts failed.
Amidst the chaos engulfing the world, a gentle voice whispered through the rustling wind, seemingly trying to warn every creature that heard it. In the uncharted dark corners, elusive shadows floated, hinting at the presence of something greater than mere collective struggles. Within the suffocating silence, their hollow gazes awaited a miracle, longing for the arrival of a light that could illuminate the path blocked by uncertainty and confusion.
The entities and beings hidden behind the touch of nature began to feel the breath of uncertainty, creeping slowly like shadows of solitude. In this silence, the broken souls longed for light, struggling to recall what had been lost in the distorted timeline. As if trapped in an endless labyrinth, they whispered names long forgotten, attempting to bind together the separations that haunted them, hoping that within the embrace of uncertainty, they would find a point of light to begin anew.
Because Umbra-Khalid cannot be denied... because she does not ask.
Spiralis Remissa now formed a pattern in the night sky of Philistines: not a symbol of command, but rather a circle that is open yet does not demand to be closed. Within this circle, individuals are caught in an inner monologue, observing that past events echo endlessly, urging them to embrace the thickening uncertainty in the air.
As the reflective light began to seep through, it felt as if the world was surrounded by a mysterious aura, and no one could escape the deepening sense of uncertainty. Each twinkling star added to the rumble of feelings in their chests, inviting everyone to contemplate the meaning behind their existence. Meanwhile, shadows of the past writhed in the darkness, reminding them of choices not taken and paths that once might have existed, but now lay only in the fog.
Beelzebub gazed at the sky in fear.
"The spiral is not a protective tool. It is a window to... honest emptiness." As that voice echoed in her mind, a sense of void assailed her, as if the sky had become a mirror, revealing the unseen stains of fear. How often do humans seek assurance in unspoken verses, yearning to find meaning in the crash of uncertainty's waves?
And Elyra, though still a baby, raised her hands to the sky. In her hands, the symbol of the Fourth Spiral began to glow dimly. However, that light seemed like drops of water on a desert, both comforting and painful, as if reminding everyone that wonder often appears alongside fragility. In the embrace of the night, hope and fear collaborated in a dance full of feelings that both uplifted the spirit and eroded comfort.
With each passing second, the vibrations of the Fourth Spiral seep into the souls of those who feel alienated, deepening their connection, albeit tenuous. A question arises cautiously: do they see the sky as both a threat and a blessing simultaneously? In that moment, darkness and light intertwine, forming a complex and melancholic palette of emotions. They wonder whether they are connected to something greater or merely isolated within the uncharted currents of life. Their hearts ache in silence, longing for something more than just answers.
She has now become the guardian of non-coercive emptiness. The world approaches her not to gain something, but to realize that not all questions need to be answered. With each presence that visits this void, a lesson of acceptance is etched in the sky, reminding everyone that their existence might be part of a larger, unspoken puzzle—a reflection of the beautiful chaos within the harmony of human nature.
Around him, the evening light flows gently, caressing the empty earth as if wanting to revive the footprints that have long disappeared. The wind whispers, conveying tales from afar, from the recesses of the souls that are lost. Each gust seems to carry the scent of longing, filling the void that remains unfilled. In this silence, Fitran feels the shadows of the past passing before his eyes—a sweet memory that has now become an illusion, like the dusk light slowly fading the day away. He wonders if the presence of those who have departed, now only lingering in the corners of his vision, can still feel the emptiness that envelops him.
Fitran gazes at the sky, his mind filled with a sea of thoughts. The gentle breeze seems to invite every memory to return, swirling within him. As he looks up, the evening dew begins to descend, signifying that time is a relative concept—an illusion for those trapped in emptiness. Beyond the boundaries of time, there exists a darkness full of mystery that whispers hopes for an uncertain future, yet tempts with sweet promises that may never come to fruition. He yearns for the kite of hope that flies high, even though he knows that its tether has been severed.
"I once was hope.
I once was a protector.
I once was a weapon."
"Now I am just... a witness.
For those who were not given space to exist."
Umbra-Khalid is not an enemy.
She is not a path.
She represents a void in the hearts of all beings who cannot demand.
Fitran felt the uncertainty enveloping him. He knew that within this void, no hope could materialize, only a silence that touched the soul. The quiet inner voice took shape; amidst the shadows, he could hear the echoes of laughter and cries trapped within the emptiness. In that hushed moment, as if darkness enveloped him, Fitran grasped a feeling that could not be expressed—a longing to be acknowledged, coupled with a deep desire to share burdens with those who had never been present. Each passing second added weight to his soul, as if time itself was mocking him, highlighting the helplessness that awaited him.
And Fitran…
does not want to fill the silence.
He only wishes to sit beside her. Within the quiet, he discovers tranquility, a realization that sometimes, presence without words is the deepest form of love.
In that stillness, each passing second becomes a gentle caress on his skin, evoking buried memories. He recalls the moments they shared secrets and dreams, where the language of the heart and smiles spoke louder than words. Behind the shadows of loss, Fitran feels an invisible presence, as if his very soul vibrates with an undefined energy, reminding him that true love doesn't always require words.
