XV. The start of the end

Everything was written, especially the arrival of Yllen and Oebama, and many people, including dragons, refused to believe it.

While I was at home with Rama and Yzarc, waiting for the direction of Yllen. We had the feeling of our friends around us, without them being there physically; it was strange, but at the same time it was not.

From one moment to another, Yllen disappeared; she was not in her bedroom, nor in the garden. I looked for her all over the house, even in our particular spot where we read every day.

Suddenly her presence was with me, and she told me. Why are you looking for me?

I bowed my head, and Yzarc and Rama bowed too. She wasn’t physically there, but his presence was strong and sensed within us.

All of a sudden, we find ourselves in a world that none of us had before explored. We saw all of our friends there too, armed and prepared for a fight, any moment now. But we still didn’t know where we were or what we were going to do.

Suddenly, Yllen asked us to close our eyes and count until eight, then open them. And out of nowhere, Alusru showed up and hugged me, wondering why I was in his territory. He did not appear happy, but rather sad. When one of the Erfs saw me and spoke to me, he said:

This is the Oebama world!

When I realised, I felt sad since Alusru was living there. Alusru appeared harmless, but Xiorc came over to protect me. Eixel stared at him and held his hand, and Alusru murmured, “There is nothing to do; I will remain in this dark place for eternity.”

Alusru broke his black armor the moment Yleme handed him his sword in his heart. Alusru was able to seem more colorful and breathe less forcefully. Even so, he told us that he had to leave, but he expected a miracle; Oebama’s world was not nice, nor was it what he promised. It was just an obvious world of delusions, sickness, pain, and hatred. I urged him to stay, but Alusru was unable to do so and had to go, knowing he would be held accountable.

In front of us were the Erfs; they possessed abilities that only Yllen had. They were floating, looking at the horizon.

I wasn’t sure what to do; Yzarc and Rama were close to me, and Xiorc was still weak, but she refused to leave. We were clueless about how to get out. Yllen has chosen the ones who will fight in this battle.

The only thing I was unaware of was the cause of Oebama’s territory’s isolation. I expected to encounter many of Obama’s supporters, but the world was deserted. All of our allies were there, including the Modgnik, the humans, the Erfs, the Elppas, the Anaids, the school teachers, and children from other worlds.

Yllen was there, and she started talking to us. She then instructed us to head east, where we encountered odd but harmless-looking creatures. It was never known in Oebama’s world, so I said, “Does Oebama know we are here?”

What was peculiar about all of this was that the creatures did not pay attention to us; instead, they carried on with what they were doing. They were in deteriorating, filthy homes, and they appeared to have tape in their mouths. They also wore black, grimy armor.

While we were on our way to the east, Enaj approached me and asked me if Yllen showed me something. I said, No, not yet.

The Elfaigs went to the East before us; they returned in light time and told us that Oebama was there, but that he had not noticed our presence or that they were nearby. At that moment, the Erfs said to us, ‘Oebama is unaware of our presence, and no one can see us; we are invisible.’ When I questioned how Alusru could communicate with us, the Erfs smiled and left the area in silence.

My old friend Otit was observing us from the heights, but the fact was that we didn’t know what we were going to do. As we moved, all I saw were chained and human creatures in a trance, but in sorrow, pleading for aid in the air and shouting in a very terrible way.

Everything seemed so tense, depressing, and unpleasant. Personally, I had no idea what to do or what was going to happen. Everyone was there as I turned around, including my friends Yzarc and Rama. We were all there, which was amazing, and I didn’t want to lose anyone in this battle. As I walked through the bleak world that Obama had built, I wanted to release those who were imprisoned, but what could I expect? While Oebama’s world was not delightful in reality, those of us who trusted in the guidance of our ancestors understood that it would not be a paradise. Oebama was evil, and to him, everything was beautiful

When we arrived in the east, there was an apparently beautiful palace, but it was made of silver and held many beings, including humans. I had no idea what was going on until that point; I just knew that the doors had opened, but the guards were unable to see us. We all went in, while others flew and watched from above, as well as some people below the ground. Oebama was there; he was speaking with his supporters; I could see Eoj and Nivlek praising Oebama, although Eoj was very afraid and missing one arm. Oebama used Eoj as an illustration of what happened when missions went wrong.

Oebama was talking about the promised land and all of the lies that have been told to everyone for centuries, which fail to emphasise the price of surviving in a terrible world, all in order for him to reign among destruction and dismissal. He desired to transform every universe into his own, a realm of devastation and despair.

Oebama remained still for a minute, observing his surroundings. Both creatures and humans believed in him and adored and worshipped him. Ochul and Divad were hunting for something, but I had no idea what it was; obviously, they sensed our presence, but they couldn’t see anything.

When Yllen’s name came out, Oebama began to cynically refer to her as “the chosen one,” “the goddess,” or “the one who will save the world.” We know where to attack! And they all yelled, “Death to Yllen! Death to Yllen! Death to Yllen! The false goddess!

The Erfs stood behind Oebama, watching. Oebama kept looking to see who was behind him. The followers did not appear sick or enslaved; it was unusual, but Yelhsa approached me. She warned me that they would be the next ones; no one knew what would happen to them; everyone would suffer, be subjected to slavery, and have their bodies deformed. Oebama is the mastermind behind it all; they believe his lies because they have a dishonest conscience and are unaware that they can be rescued by turning from their transgressions.

The palace was enormous, and the number of followers exceeded us. I didn’t question the written plans. Xiorc was still close to me, and I could sense Oebama’s need to speak, but he lacked the power he believed he possessed; he was nervous, I think. He knew something was happening; he did not know what it was. He was so arrogant that he never imagined we were there. Xiorc sensed Oebama’s malevolent presence attempting to infiltrate her thoughts, but he was unable to do so. Oebama always tried to do that with her. Xiorc was special for Oebama.  

We gradually began to witness an increasing number of new followers. Seeing families with children and those I saw one day, even in the Anaids world, was the most agonising aspect of it all. Although Oebama reached and visited many locations we had not thought he would, he had also forgotten how devious and manipulative he was.

Yllen appears in the midst of Oebama’s speech and asks, “Did you think you could destroy your God?” Oebama looks at her with hatred, and everyone is shocked by what is happening. Without thinking, everyone kneels in front of Yllen, with the exception of those who are deformed and waiting for Oebama’s orders or those who have been given abilities by him.

Oebama was taken by surprise; he had no idea that “his followers” would respond in that manner. However, he was unaware of the majestic nature of Yllen, our God, and her strength, aside from the fact that Yllen was ready, as she always has been. When Oebama saw Yllen in his universe, he misjudged her and assumed that he had everything under control.

The palace began to crumble, much like a makeup mask cracking. The followers started to feel scared as they stood up and saw the palace fade away. Oebama’s soldiers then left to get ready to fight, and some of us flew to the skies; those who couldn’t fly would stay on the ground. Oebama vanished, and Yllen brought someone no one knew, a lovely and powerful being. Someone calls Nathe.

Nathe was the messenger no one saw, but he was always part of everyone’s lives. Nathe was next to us while we were struggling; nobody could see him, but he was always in our lives. Like being with me while I was alone, he was the one who put a book next to my bed when I felt alone, and now I am passionate and obsessed with books. When the time came, he would be known by everyone. And the time is today, now.

Yllen moved her sword, and we were all visible. The real world of Oebama began to emerge, and everything was brown and grim; nothing was beautiful, like the promised he always talked about. 

Oebama’s soldiers smiled sarcastically and wanted to attack the followers, but I used a supernatural force to protect them; in the midst of it all, Alusru was hugging his mother; he was protected. And when all of the soldiers began to attack, Yllen placed armor on humans, and humans began to fly and gain power; the battle had begun. Oebama’s soldiers just planned on killing us, but they were unable to do so because we were stronger because of Yllen. They are more numerous, but we were powerful. 

Yllen opened the heavens, and Oebama was there, observing. While Yllen and Oebama looked carefully, everyone was in battle, and the dry lands of the world of Oebama began to tremble, and she told Oebama: Who authorized you to take these lands? These lands and everything that exists in the universe are mine.

Did you think you were going to fool me? You have deluded yourself for generations into thinking you were god, but you are not, have never been, and never will be. It was there that they both began to fight. Oebama used both his own abilities and the supernatural abilities he appropriated from his supporters. Yllen’s abilities were infinite, and only power emanated from her; she was our God, just her. Oebama was not willing to accept it.

While we were fighting, rays of light and fire appeared between them. I wanted to save Alusru, but I had forgotten for a second that he would be safe; there was still time for his salvation. Yllen’s love was unlimited, and when I met Yllen I thought that those who chose to follow Oebama would be lost, but I know that there is still time.

While Xiorc and I stayed close, I noticed the Elfaigs moving from one side to the other with Ochul and Divad; they had more powers than I had seen before, but we were prepared. There was Zil, fighting with Eoj. I paused for a second and looked at my exhausted friends; for a brief minute, I thought we were losing the battle. “It can’t be,” I reassured myself. When I look up, I notice Yllen battling with Oebama. Oebama was larger and appeared stronger. Oebama grinned at Yllen and said, “Yllen, are you not the God who proclaimed being?” The scriptures do not say you will lose this battle.

Yllen looked at him and took out her sword; Oebama laughed as he continued attacking her. Things did not appear good when I spotted those creatures that were initially unable to see us; they attacked us right away. But Nathe came to me; he lifted me up and instructed me to look into the skies; the Phoenixes had arrived, as had beings I’d never seen. According to the scriptures, everyone will be free, and those who turn from their wicked actions will also be free and enter the promised land, which is free from suffering, disease, hatred, and dishonesty. Just peace and harmony.

My uncertainties faded, and I regained my strength. The schoolchildren, the villages we had seen on all of our journeys with Yllen, and the beings we encountered on our fantastic adventures. With everyone present, Yllen gave me a smile. And that’s when Oebama gives her a violent shove that knocks Yllen to the ground. Oebama stares at me and smiles, saying, “I will be your god, silly creature.”

Then, with a force I never witnessed, Xiorc attacks Oebama directly, causing him to tumble to the ground while Yllen stands up. Oebama said, “You will pay for what you have done.” Nobody was aware of Oebama’s fear of shame; he had such a large ego that he saw it as a weakness. Oebama stared at everyone and faded on Earth.

Iruy approached Yllen and helped her get up, and she took Iruy’s head, and Iruy’s eye color changed, and Iruy started running at high speed. Touching Yllen was a creation of miracles.

Nathe cogio the hand of Yllen and a great emanio power of both, covering us all with a strong light, including those who decided to follow Oebama. Those followers were confused; they did not know what to do, whether to follow Yllen or Oebama. Ylliw contacted me mentally, an unusual power that Yellen had given him. Ylliw looked strong and big and was preparing a path for everyone, including Yllen.

Nathe took Yllen’s hand and used their combined emanio strength to cover us all in a powerful light, including those who chose to follow Oebama. Those followers were confused; they did not know whether to follow Yllen or Oebama. Ylliw approached me mentally, using an extraordinary power that Yllen had given him. Ylliw appeared strong and large, and he was building a path for everyone, especially Yllen.

When Oebama’s supporters, Eoj and Nivlek, attempted to attack me, Nathe approached like a fireball, and I was immediately locked inside that fire bubble. Eoj and Nivlek stepped aside; suddenly, we were all in a fire bubble. Oebama supporters were looking from the outside. 

From afar, I see Alusru hugging his mother. I wondered how to make it enter. Yllen spoke to me; she told me, ‘Not yet, patience.’

Aceber brought to a group of the city of Modgnik, the school teachers, the Elppas, the Anaids, the Red Forest, and all corners of the universe. Aceber was such a big dragon but very small at the same time.

We only waited for Yllen’s direction once we were all calm. Oebama had vanished once more, and his followers were outside the bubble, attempting to break in and destroy us. Oebama leaves the ground, laughs ironically, and then turns his supporters into strange beings that are unidentifiable. From one second to the next, Yllen started to bring a large number of people to the bubble, those ones who were asking for mercy.

Oebama became furious and continued to turn his followers into horrible creatures. Those followers who had not regretted it, Allusru came to me, hugged me, and mounted me. I started crying, crying with happiness.

But the battle was not over, and I was in an attack position; the battle continued. When we suddenly saw Oebama inside the bubble, he couldn’t touch us, and he couldn’t do anything.

When I realized everyone had their golden armor and each had a special power, the group was getting stronger, but I did wonder how we would destroy Oebama. During all this time with Yllen, I had never asked her how she would destroy Oebama.
