POV 89:
When I woke up, I felt like everything was different, but my focus was first on my Laws. That's when I noticed the change; there was a new Law that acts as the central point for all the others. Notifications also appeared in front of .

"Celestial Law..." ()
I was surprised by the notifications appearing in front of and didn't notice when soone appeared before .
My mind was trying to understand what I was seeing and inside I was trying to comprehend what had changed.
"Relax and accept, then you won't need to understand, because you will be the answer." (Urd)
"..." ()
She touched my forehead and her words seed to resonate with my soul. I stopped trying to think or feel this power and simply relaxed.
That's when it happened exactly as she said. I didn't need to think or understand; it ca to as easily as breathing. It was sothing so primal within , as if it had always been a part of .
When I opened my eyes, I could see all the Laws, but they didn't seem the sa. I could see that they were all interconnected, not with the Flow of Laws. It was different this ti.
The Flow of Laws was the path through which the Ascending Laws travel together, but this was different. I could see where all the Ascending Laws originate and disappear, the beginning and the end of all the Ascending Laws. This was . All the Ascendants seed to exist within my power, and I felt myself walking beside her, Urd.
When I opened my eyes again, she was there looking at , but her eyes weren't smiling. I could see the worry and a hint of disapproval in the glint of her eyes.
"Madam..." ()
"You don't need to say anything, just don't do that again!" (Urd)
"The situation might have been serious, but it wasn't so urgent for you to push yourself so far beyond your limits!" (Urd)
"I understand, I'm sorry for worrying..." ()
Before I could finish speaking, she hugged . The warmth of her body was so relaxing, her aura seed so kind. I felt so safe that tears began to fall from one of my eyes. I didn't understand why.
Suddenly I felt sothing else connected to . It was as if Urd's hug had awakened my attention to another aspect. I felt soone opening their eyes. I felt as if sothing was protecting , as if a will covered like a shield that would remain for eternity.
Sothing about his presence made my hand tremble, and the tears in my eyes began to fall harder. I knew who it was; I always knew who it was.
----------------------
It's been two hours since I t Zenos. Seeing him with Urd was strange and enlightening at the sa ti; it was like seeing the entire Celestial Law in its complete state.
I was the Celestial Law, held in Urd's loving hands as she walked right behind Zenos along a path beyond the stars—that was the image that ford in my mind.
I could also sense a Law within Zenos, a Law not connected to the Celestial Law. This Law was alive and seed to look at curiously; I didn't know how to deal with it.
"Still thinking about Zenos?" (Freya)
"Yes." ()
I was now sitting on one of the branches of the Universal Tree. Lady Freya was sitting in front of . I had a long conversation with her. It was fun to see the similarities between my power and hers. I learned a lot, and yet, the more I learned, the less I understood Lord Zenos.
"Zenos is Chaos... he may be in the natural cycle, but he is not part of nature, he is the one who distorts nature." (Freya)
"Your fixation on him must be due to a similar effect." (Freya)
"If your Celestial Laws are ordered, then he is the counterpoint to them, the lack of control from which order arises." (Freya)
"..." ()
"(That's why his Law seed alive...?)" ()
"(I didn't feel fear... I felt like... being looked at by a beast... without malice, fear or anything like that, it was just curiosity...)" ()
Suddenly I understood the cycle of the Laws better and with that the Celestial Law within seed to pulsate, I was the Law, Urd was the Source and Cradle of all Laws, but it was Zenos who existed outside the Laws, opening a path through the nonexistent.
Sigh
"Thank you, may I co to you again?" ()
"Co whenever you want, your Laws are part of what my roots must order in this universe." (Freya)
I stood up and opened my wings, wanting to understand more about my power, so I decided to return to the Temple of Urd; I felt comfortable there.
--------------------------
After another hour of ditating, I open my eyes with a strange feeling that hasn't gone away since I woke up. My eyes unconsciously turn in one direction.
"Should I go...?" ()
That question was directed only at . I already know everything she did, I also understand what she did to , but none of that matters so much. I can't hate her. When I rember her, it only makes want to cry, not sadness, but pity. Her eyes were always sad.
"Why should I hold back?" ()
Sigh
I sighed as I stood up, then walked over there. I had no plans and hadn't thought about anything, I just felt I needed to find her, I needed to talk to her, so that's what I did.
Stopping outside the room, I could feel her eyes looking at just as I looked at her. The door and the room did little to obstruct our view, but even so, I could feel her aura once again enveloping my body, yet still avoiding touching .
I wanted to open the door and go in, but she seed unwilling to see when the door lost all its openings, becoming a veritable wall.
"Don't force in, please." ()
My words made the door return to normal and open. At that mont, I entered. I was unsure of what awaited upon entering, but as soon as I stepped inside, I saw a universe surrounding , a false, miniature universe.
I didn't need directions; I could feel where she was, so I spread my wings and let the Celestial Law pull to where she was. It was like being teleported, and soon I was in front of her.
Her body was different, her face also looked younger, but none of that mattered to .
The first thing I looked at were her eyes; they were still the sa eyes I had seen so many tis, filled with endless sadness, an agony inherent to her at this mont.
I didn't understand these emotions back then; I couldn't even understand my own emotions, much less the emotions I observed in her, but now I began to understand.
"You don't want to et ?" ()
"No, I don't deserve this..." (Urak)
"You know who I am, don't you?" ()
"..." (Urak)
"..." ()
I saw her hands trembling when I asked who I was; she knows, and that's why she acts this way. I heard about her circumstances, and I also heard about the torture Zenos prepared specifically for her.
"Why did you accept this power if you can't even look in the eyes?" ()
"This is the least I can do..." (Urak)
"All the ancient Ascended hate you." ()
"And they should..." (Urak)
"The new Ascended Ones just want to stay away, they don't hate you, they hate who they were in the past." ()
"For most of them, they had no choice..." (Urak)
"Why don't you answer the question?" ()
"Why do you keep running away with half-truths and avoid looking at ?" ()
"Are you going to run away forever? Are you going to reduce yourself to this insignificance instead of proudly taking this power of Celestial Law as is your due!?" ()
"..." ()
I was getting irritated by her reactions and words. This must be the first ti I've gotten this angry, but I couldn't help it. Sothing about how she behaves is making feel this way. It was as if I were desperately trying to hold onto sothing that constantly slips from my hands.
"Stand up! Look at !" ()
My words seed to carry destructive power, her body trembling with each word, but even so, she stood up and looked at . Deep in her eyes, I could see the happiness subrged in that persistent agony.
I walked towards her, one step at a ti. She took a step back before I looked seriously at her, preventing her from further retreating. When I was close enough, I stretched out my arm to cup her face in my hand. She tried to avoid my hand, but I persisted, and on the third ti, I touched her face, tears beginning to flow from her eyes.
"In every sense, you are my mother and I am your son... don't run away from ... don't look away... don't be afraid to face !" ()
"I don't deserve to be called that..." (Urak)
"You took on the role of Guardian of Celestial Law, and we both know it wasn't because of Urd or the Ascended!" ()
"You chose to be trapped in a Guardian position forever because of ! Didn't you!?" ()
"Yes..." (Urak)
"Then let's end this ga of prey and predator, stop running away and talk to , I deserve at least this consideration from my mother!" ()
"..." (Urak)
