Darkness.
No stars.
No library.
No council.
Only a giant throne standing in an endless void.
Ancient.
Broken.
Covered with chains.
Covered with names.

Some names have been scratched away.
The Dreamer stands before it alone.
A voice echoes.
Unknown Voice
"Why do you fear it?"
The Dreamer looks around.
No one.
Only the throne.
Dreamer
"Who are you?"
Silence.

"I have no desire to sit there."

"Why?"

For the first time—
he looks afraid.
Writer
"I never wanted you to see that."
Dreamer
"Why?"
The Writer looks at the throne.
Writer
"Because if you sit there..."
"You stop being the Dreamer."
Dreamer
"What do I become?"
The Writer closes his eyes.
Writer
"A Creator."
Silence.
Dreamer
"Isn't that good?"
The Forgotten Version shakes his head.
Forgotten Version
"Not always."
🌌 The Ancient Library
Suddenly.
The Council floor cracks.
Books begin falling.
The stars disappear.
Everyone falls downward.
They land inside a library.
A library far larger than the Writer's.
Millions of books.
Millions of stories.
Millions of worlds.
At the center.
A desk.
An old pen.
An empty chair.
The Writer slowly kneels.
Nemesis becomes silent.
Even the Forgotten Version lowers his head.
Footsteps.
A figure emerges from the darkness.
His face cannot be seen.
Only his eyes.
Ancient.
Tired.
Unknown Figure
"So."
He looks at the Dreamer.
Unknown Figure
"The next one has arrived."
Dreamer
"Who are you?"
The figure sits behind the desk.
Unknown Figure
"I am the First Author."
The entire library becomes silent.
The throne begins glowing.
The books begin opening by themselves.
The First Author looks directly at the Reader.
First Author
"Tell me."
He looks toward the Dreamer.
First Author
"Do you wish to become a Creator?"
The screen cuts to black.
