READ NOVEL ONLINE Chapter 4: Meeting with the Mother of Creation
In the endless blue sky, where clouds danced like soft cotton in the wind, a magnificent and luminous being could be seen. With three pairs of white and radiant wings, it flew gracefully and majestically through the sky. If a human had been there, they would have realized with awe and wonder that this being was an angel. Yes, this was Shikama Doji, an angel who, with his unparalleled serenity and beauty, was moving toward the dwelling place of Tiamat, the Mother of Creation.
Flying was an unparalleled sensation for Shikama Doji. He gently stretched his hands toward the clouds, feeling their softness beneath his fingers. Being an angel had many advantages: there was no longer any need for food, water, or sleep. He was free and could fly anywhere he desired at any moment, enjoying the endless beauties of the world.
The clouds in this era were much larger and more magnificent than in the modern era. This was the peak of nature and beauty, a time when the Earth was at its best. Even the age of gods in the future could not compare to the grandeur and splendor of this era. But alas, in the future, an asteroid would collide with this planet, destroying all this beauty. With this thought, Shikama Doji increased his speed and hastened toward his destination.
Tiamat's dwelling was not far away. Shikama Doji gently landed on the ground and continued his path with calm and dignified steps. He felt an immense magical energy in the air, an energy that only beings of great power could withstand. This energy was undoubtedly emanating from Tiamat, as one would expect from one of the most ancient and mysterious beings.
His walk did not take long. Soon, Shikama Doji saw a colossal being in the distance. This creature resembled a gigantic dragon, with a body the size of a mountain. Tiamat, the Mother of Creation, stood before Shikama Doji in all her glory and majesty. Shikama Doji stared at Tiamat, and Tiamat, in turn, gazed at him with curious and astonished eyes. Tiamat was surprised by the presence of a being who was not her child. She stared at Shikama Doji with curiosity, as if trying to uncover the secret of this unknown being.
"This is our first meeting, Mother of Creation. My name is Shikama Doji," Shikama Doji spoke in the language of angels, a language akin to that of divine spirits, with roots tracing back to God. This language was beyond the capabilities of the human throat and could only be understood by beings of high spiritual power.
"Who are you? You are not my child. Where have you come from?" Tiamat replied in the language of divine spirits. Her voice was like the gentle roar of the wind, full of power and mystery. Although Tiamat saw Shikama Doji as a small being, she felt a sense of danger from his presence. This indicated the power and grandeur of Shikama Doji. Tiamat had never seen an intelligent being other than her own children, and this excited her.
"I have come from a distant place," Shikama Doji replied with a calm smile. He began to communicate with Tiamat, a communication that went beyond words. The language they used was something humans could not mimic. It was a spiritual language, a language made of soul and energy.
Through this communication, Shikama Doji gained much information about this era. He realized that Tiamat had created the entire ecosystem of this era and had never seen an intelligent being other than herself. It seemed that the Sumerian myths were wrong, and a being named "Abzu" did not exist. The more he spoke with Tiamat, the more he noticed her naive personality.
"Can you make yourself smaller? You're too big," Shikama Doji said, coughing softly as he looked at Tiamat.
"Smaller?" Tiamat stared at Shikama Doji in confusion. "How do I become smaller?"
"Ah, this is going to be troublesome," Shikama Doji sighed and began to teach Tiamat how to reduce her size. With patience, he showed her how to concentrate her energy and alter her physical form. Tiamat, despite her infinite power, was a novice at this, and Shikama Doji had to guide her carefully and calmly.
As Tiamat began to shrink, Shikama Doji watched her with a gentle smile on his lips. He knew that this meeting was the beginning of a new and wondrous relationship between him and the Mother of Creation. A relationship that could change the fate of this glorious era.
