Echo of paradise: The legend of love and exile - Виктория Юрьевна Лутова

Adam and Eve looked at each other, unable to grasp what it truly meant. But that night, Eve had a dream. In it, she saw a new world, full of life, where light and darkness coexisted in perfect harmony. She saw streams of energy flowing from the Tree, forming new beings, new forms of life.

When Eve told Adam about the dream, he understood it wasn’t just a vision—it was a message. They were meant to use their power to create a new world, to give life to something that would become a reflection of their harmony.

Chapter Thirty-Three

The Creation of a New World

Adam and Eve began to experiment with the power of light and darkness.

They used light to create plants and animals, while darkness gave them strength and resilience. Through this, they came to understand: light was the source of life, and darkness—its protector.

Their first experiment resulted in the appearance of a small creature they named Lumi. It was born of light, but its eyes were as dark as the night itself. Lumi was friendly and playful, yet within it was a power that made it a true guardian.

“It works,” Adam said, gazing at Lumi. “We can create life that reflects who we are.”

Eve smiled. “But we must be careful. Our power is a responsibility. We can’t afford to lose the balance,” she said.

Chapter Thirty-Four

The First Temptation

But their powers held hidden danger. One day, when Eve attempted to create a new creature, she felt the darkness begin to take hold of her. The being she created was nothing like Lumi—it turned out aggressive and harmful.

“This is a mistake,” she told Adam as they watched the creature together. “I let the darkness consume me. I thought I could control it, but it was stronger than I expected.”

Adam realized this was a lesson they had to learn. They could not use darkness without light, just as they could not use light without darkness. In every action, they had to seek balance.

Chapter Thirty-Five

The New Eden

Over time, Adam and Eve learned to control their powers and live in harmony with the world around them. Their new Eden blossomed, and the creatures they created became an integral part of their universe.

However, they knew their work was far from finished. They understood that their world would face challenges and that darkness would always be close by. But they also knew they had enough strength to overcome any adversity. Adam and Eve had found harmony within themselves, and this balance became the foundation of their new world.

Epilogue

The Eternal Path

Adam and Eve stood beneath the Tree of Life, admiring their new world. They understood that the journey they had taken was not an easy one, but it had been worth it. They had found themselves, found each other, and now they were able to create new worlds.

Far away, in the silence of eternity, God watched over them. He knew that their path was only beginning, but He also knew they were ready for any challenge. They had found balance, and in that, their true power lay.

PART SEVEN

LIFE IN THE NEW WORLD

Chapter Thirty-Six

Lumi – Light and Darkness in One Being

Lumi, the first creature created by Adam and Eve, became their faithful companion and helper. This charming little being had a soft, glowing body and eyes as deep as the night itself. Its playful and curious nature concealed a hidden strength, which it only revealed when it sensed danger.

Eve noticed that Lumi was highly responsive to their emotions. When the couple was in harmony, it remained calm and emitted a warm light. However, if there were disagreements between them, its light would begin to fade, and its eyes would grow darker.

“He feels us,” Eve said one day, watching Lumi. “He is connected to us. He’s a part of us.”

Adam smiled. “Then we must be careful. If he reflects us, then our harmony is the key to his existence.”

Lumi became not just their companion but also a reminder of how important it was to maintain balance within themselves.

Chapter Thirty-Seven

The Creature of Darkness

Not all the creatures created by the couple were as peaceful as Lumi. One day, when Eve used more darkness than light, a creature appeared that they named Nox. Nox was massive, with skin as black as the void, absorbing all light, and eyes burning with red flames. He was strong, but his nature was destructive.

“We can’t leave him here,” Adam said, watching Nox, who was growling and smashing everything in his path. “He’s dangerous. He’ll destroy our world.”

Eve approached Nox despite his threats. “He’s not evil,” she said. “He just doesn’t understand who he is. He’s made of darkness, but darkness doesn’t make him bad. We need to teach him how to control himself.”

Adam had doubts, but he trusted Eve. Together, they began working with Nox, using light to balance his nature. Gradually, Nox became calmer, but his destructive power remained. The couple understood that the creature could become their protector—but only if they guided him.

Chapter Thirty-Eight

The Voice of Nature

The creatures they created became an integral part of their world, but nature itself had its own life. One day, as Adam worked in the field, he heard a soft whisper. It was not the voice of Eve or darkness. It was the voice of the earth itself.

“You care for me,” the voice said. “But you must understand, I am alive too. I feel when you are in harmony, and I know when you lose balance. I am connected to you, just like the Tree of Life.”
