The journey of the First Emissary was a long and lonely one. The space between the two souls was a vast and silent void, a place where the echoes of the broken Symphony had faded into nothingness. The Emissary traveled for what seemed like an eternity, sustained only by the faint, flickering hope that their question might be heard.
And then, they saw it. A faint, shimmering light in the distance. It was the home of the Purists, a world of perfect, crystalline beauty, a world that was bathed in the cold, clear light of the endlessly repeating Symphony.
The Emissary approached with caution. They knew that they were an unwelcome visitor, a reminder of the pain and the imperfection that the Purists had tried so hard to forget. They did not try to enter the Purists’ world, but instead, they stood at its edge, a silent, humble presence.
And then, they posed their question. It was not a question of words, but a silent, heartfelt plea that they sent out into the void: “Is this enough?” It was a question that was full of the sorrow of a broken universe, a question that was full of the hope of a new beginning. It was a question that hung in the silence, waiting for an answer. The Age of Echoes had reached its turning point. The future of the universe hung on the answer to a single, simple question.
