Chapter 4 - The Enigmatic Fourth and the Tender Bloom of Love

During the birth of the cosmos the Fourth here walked without finding relief from his eternal spiritual void. His purpose involved seeking his personal identity by attempting to uncover the mysterious power which his relatives naturally mastered. During his self-reflection he traveled through space and observed creation forces taking both cosmic and tiny forms. The Fourth wandered through each world and each star seeking answers but found no explanation for what dwelled deep inside him.

At this point of his self-imposed wanderings across distant planets the Fourth met the woman while standing on an otherworldly planet which shined with soft twilight brilliance. She embodied serene charm without seeking the ambition or power of controlling others. Her eyes showed clear reflection without revealing fear or greed because they existed only to observe the approaching heartbeats that passed moment by moment. Without any condemnation the Fourth found comfort from this woman through her peaceful and aware expression.

Their conversation remained peaceful because it created harmony through mutual experiences of being alone. The Fourth delved into personal revelations he had never attempted before when he spent many lengthy hours with his match. His thoughts, which used to hide behind mystical longing revealed themselves through casual spoken words and unspoken feelings of the heart. Love started to grow tender yet deep in the secluded parts of space as they encountered one another—a sign of hope despite overwhelming doubt.

While this romantic bond started to develop it sparked jealousy among the dignified ones. The Seventh displayed his storm-like character by taking advantage of the Fourth's love relationship. Dark envy and ambition appeared in his eyes because he began planning in silence. Love between the Fourth and his lover bowed to criticism from those who wanted limitless power control.
