Chapter 4: 4
** Zombo Stars - Chapter 4: The Heart in Conflict **
Sitting on the throne of the heavenly kingdom, Higuel watched the vast cosmos unfold before him. With creative hands, he shaped worlds, gave life to galaxies, and brought unimaginable beauties to existence. But among all the kingdoms he had created, his heart belonged to the world of Zerk. It was there that he had fabric his most precious creations: the Zombians, the Cirokos, and the Victors.
The Zombians, beings of pure light, were known for their compassion and desire to help the needy. The Cyrokos, with their deep wisdom, were the knowledge of the nature and laws of the universe. The Victors, Warriors of Value, defended Zerk with bravery and honor. Together they formed a symphony of life, love and harmony under Higuel's guidance.
For 100 years, the Zerk world flourished. Peace reigned, and races thrived under Higuel's teachings about love, compassion, purity, and the understanding of the mistakes that could lead to impurity and sin. He rejoiced to see his children thrive, feeling a deep pride for what he had raised.
But this fragile peace did not last forever. Over time, the whispers of lust and ambition began to infiltrate the hearts of the Zombians, Cirokos and Victors. Greed has taken over the souls, and the desire for power corrupted what was once pure.
Wars began to hatch, and the frivolity spread like a fire. The races that once coexist in harmony now turned against each other, consumed by anger and the desire for domination. Peace conversations turned into battle shouts, and Higuel's teachings were forgotten. He tried to argue, frustrated attempts to bring back to light to those who had one day shine with such strength.
- Please listen! He begged, raising his voice to the sky. - We are all part of a single creation. We need to go back to love and compassion!
But his voice was drowned out by screams of blasphemy and rebellion. Higuel's name became a whispered word in the shadows, a symbol of something that many began to reject.
Faced with this tragedy, Higuel saw the world he loved so much to disintegrate. Desperation took over his heart, and he spent 10 long days immersed in pain and confusion. Sitting on his throne, he questioned himself: "What did I do wrong? How could I fail in my creation? "
But after many days of inaction, sadness became a dark determination. He could not allow impurity to dominate not only Zerk's world, but all the cosmos he had created. The decision grew within it, as a storm about to hatch.
"If this is how the world will respond to love, then you are not worthy of it." He murmured, sadness becoming a cold resolution.
Higuel decided that Zerk needed to be purified. He lifted his hands and, concentrating all his heavenly energy, summoned an archangel of destruction. A cataclysm approached, an apocalypse that would lead to ruin the three races that were corrupted. A great devastation was about to occur, a rebirth through the end.
- A new beginning will be forced, and only those who are pure in heart will be left.
The clouds above Zerk became black and loaded, and a great tremor shook the world. The races, now lost in their own greed, felt the terror rising inside them. While the structures that were once monuments of love and unity began to crumble, despair took shape.
As Higuel summoned the forces of Revelation, he could not fail to feel divided. He loved the creations, but the pain they were causing was unbearable. He wondered if Zerk's destruction was really the only answer to darkness that had settled.
But even knowing that the way would be long and painful, Higuel has established his determination. He could not look away, and the decision was made. He was preparing for a new world, a rebirth for the purity he had so desired.
And so Zerk's world prepared to be obliterated, under the eye of the Creator who, despite acting with a weight in his heart, still believed he could find a way back to light, even if it meant starting all over again.
