I did join her, praying to the one true God, making out an unforgettable moment for us. I knew that I would exaggerate a bit, taking it to another level. I mean, I could have done it by getting to the chase and calling her out for how he had. The more we prayed to God, the happier we were together. I mean, I was able to go through it and much more by the side of my Sophia along with God: She felt more loved and enlightened by the universe and the logos. She was already sad the day I met her: she had lost her parents.
One day, she told me that her parents did love her so much that they found articles reviews, researches, encyclopaedias, biografraphies, atlas, mathematics, calculus, algebra, history, palaeontology, chemistry, anthropology, climatology, genetics, robotics, animatronic, animation.
One evening, as the candles flickered with a gentle breath of wind, Sophia leaned closer to me, her eyes shimmering with that mixture of melancholy and hope that only someone who has known both loss and grace can carry. She whispered to me about her parents—not merely in sorrow, but in reverence. They wanted her to grow not only in spirit but in knowledge — to hold the cosmos in her mind as much as she held God in her heart. She confessed that in her solitude, she would dive into these worlds. She studied the stars and learned how they moved in their silent harmony; she read about civilizations long lost, and yet alive in the echo of our languages. She discovered how the human body was itself a cathedral, built of cells and sacred codes of DNA.
But then she told me of subjects no one had ever known — knowledge whispered to her in dreams, like revelations meant only for a prophet. She spoke of Chronognosia — the study of time as a living entity, breathing, weeping, and rejoicing. She spoke of Aethermorphosis — the transformation of the soul through sound, music, and resonance. She invented a language of gestures that could move the wind and still the waters — she called it Somnologia, the grammar of dreams.
At first, I thought my wife was just a scientist, she obviously was. I needed to know more about her. I could not her out of my mind the most important person of my existence did not have parents and how she could tell me more than I could expect from someone without my greatness and timelessness. I mean, I could do more than it. I needed to go beyond what she could show me. I used to take care of her. I needed more from her day by day.
I did take her around the world, but before doing it, I needed to go insane by taking her hand. When I joined her in prayer, I felt these forces awaken around us. The room became a temple of fire and silence, as though the angels themselves were scribbling new scriptures on the walls. Sophia's voice trembled as she prayed to the Logos, the eternal Word, and I felt the pulse of creation in every syllable.
It was not just love that united us, but discovery — a sacred science born of faith. She became both wife and teacher to me. Through her, I came to see that mathematics was not just numbers, but music; that history was not just the past, but prophecy; that chemistry was not just matter, but the poetry of elements. And in that unforgettable moment, kneeling beside her, I realized that Omega's wife was not simply a woman of sorrow or even wisdom — she was the bridge between knowledge and eternity.
The bells of the grand cathedral rang like thunders echoing across eternity. White doves soared through the high arches while incense curled toward the dome painted with saints and celestial guardians. The iconostasis shimmered with gold and divine light, its icons gazing upon the couple as witnesses. Karl Omega Yang, his black-and-silver hair bound with a golden circlet, entered in solemn majesty. His cloak was lined with dragon-scale embroidery — a reminder of the blood of Ancalagon coursing within him. Yet, beneath the power, he stood with humility, for this moment was not conquest but covenant.
At the other side, Alpha Sophia walked under a veil of white silk woven with starlight. Her steps were steady, her presence radiant — half queen, half saint. Behind her, maidens carried wreaths of lilies, roses, and myrtle. She bore no jewels, for her beauty was beyond adornment.
The Patriarch, robed in crimson and gold, lifted his staff and spoke:
"Today, Heaven and Earth bear witness. By the Holy Trinity, the dragon-blooded is united with the pure flame. Karl Omega Yang and Sophia, Alpha of his heart, become one — not only in this age, but in the ages eternal." Karl and Sophia exchanged crowns — golden, wreathed with laurel and pearls. This was not the crown of power, but of martyrdom: the crown of sacrifice, where husband and wife die to themselves to live for each other.
When the priest joined their hands, Karl whispered to Sophia, his voice low yet firm: "From now, your Alpha is mine and my Omega is yours. Flesh of my flesh, spirit of my spirit. Where I walk, you shall walk — in cosmos or abyss." She smiled, tears shining through her veil: "And where I pray, you shall stand with me. In light or in shadow, I am yours — eternally." The congregation chanted: "Axios! Axios! Worthy! Worthy!" Together they circled the altar three times, led by the priest, a dance of eternity — symbol of the Trinity, symbol of endless union. The choir sang in ancient tongues, voices rising like a river of light: "Blessed is the union of those crowned in the Lord."
When they stopped before the altar, the priest blessed them: "May your house be as Abraham's, your love as Isaac's, your strength as Jacob's. May you raise a lineage that shall stand until the world's last dawn."
