Far away in the depths of space, Doma and Deffo floated together, gazing silently at the universe they had created.
Without turning to look, Doma spoke in his deep, beautiful voice:
"Sitali Beutal was a truly magnificent realm. But in this new cosmic domain… there exists a world even more beautiful.
Deffo....would you like to give it a name?"
Deffo said nothing at first. But he was listening.
The flood of memories...years, lifetimes....rushed back into his soul, breaking him apart from within. His chest felt heavy with sorrow, and without a sound, tears slipped from his eyes, falling like pearls into the void.
He remained silent, but in that stillness, it was as if his soul was speaking to Doma without words, telling him everything he felt.
Then softly, brokenly, he whispered a name:
"Vleues."
His voice cracked. It shattered like glass.
Then, suddenly, he screamed:
"No matter what happens…
I will protect this world.
I won't let it be destroyed again.
This is my world!"
And with that, he wrapped his arms around Doma, clinging tightly....his pain, his grief, his vow pouring out in sobs that had been held back for eons.
He wept for hours, until finally… the burden began to lift.
When he stood again, he looked at Doma with sincere gratitude and said,
"Thank you… for staying by my side through all of this."
At that moment, Doma stepped closer. Gently, almost playfully, he licked Deffo's cheek....and in an instant, a brilliant flash of light burst forth.
A luminous circle surrounded them both, glowing in a soft rosy hue, pulsating with pure energy.
Then something extraordinary happened.
Doma changed the color of his body—just for a moment.
He leaned forward and touched his forehead to Deffo's.
Their bodies shimmered in a faint, radiant pink, and around them, the light began to drift....as if fairies were brushing their hair beneath a deep, blue ocean. The scene was so breathtaking it defied description.
Then… silence again.
Doma gently stepped back. The light faded. The world fell still, exactly as it had been before.
And just like that, Doma dashed off toward Vleues, leaping joyfully into the new world.
Deffo stood there...his soul purified, eyes still glowing with the wonder he had just witnessed.
He didn't even realize how much time had passed… until he saw Doma tumbling and twirling through space, dancing between the orbits of the newborn planets, as if he were examining each one.
And for the first time in a million, trillion years, Deffo smiled.
A true, heartfelt smile.
He was happy.
What Doma had done… had brought him joy.
