The birth of Frank\'s second son came with something he and Axitl had not expected, a sudden endless darkness consumed the two into a completely different dimension. When they found trapped and without anything they could do, they began following threads of light amidst darkness. They felt lost for some time, but ultimately they found something, the beating of a heart.

They moved across this endless darkness, which was like an ocean of pure obscurity, and found a crystalline heart, where a small child rested inside, a baby made of solidified miasma and cosmic energy, shining brightly with deep darkness, as if light was darkness and darkness was light, a strange optic illusion that left them speechless as they glanced at their child.

Frank couldn\'t help but wonder what the meaning of this was, as he saw that the many paths of light connected to the child. It was as if the child was still developing even as the egg cracked, an endless darkness that he couldn\'t comprehend… but as he slowly connected the dots, something began to make sense. However, Axitl beat him to it.

"I understand now… Why this is happening… I see…" Sighed Axitl. "I am sorry… I am so sorry…"

Axitl began to cry out of nowhere, scaring Frank for a bit, he quickly comforted her and hugged her, as he felt confused. Why was she crying out of nowhere? What was this sorrowful feeling he felt within his own heart?

Axitl realized what was happening, she knew very well the Demon King, it was a being like her, it could had even been said to be like part of her own self, it was a being made from the residual miasma and chaos left behind by the creation of Terra. But unlike her, it was confined into the interior of the world, left completely alone and by itself, only to come out just to get forced inside constantly, in such a time, it felt even more lonely and rejected than Axitl herself.

A being that developed in such a way was secretly fearful, it was filled with darkness and its heart was encompassed into a hard diamond wall, protecting it from being hurt, the baby was within this crystal heart because it had felt so lonely over eons that it saw itself always alone. It felt like it had to protect itself, encompassing itself in this protective layer and not come out into the scary world of outside, where it only meet pain and agony.

Although it had the desire to be freed, it also had a strong fear. A trauma forged over millions of years. The baby\'s powers manifested in both a way to be freed… but also a way to protect itself, an endless dark dimension with paths that connected it to the possible freedom it wanted, to the endless possibilities of the cosmos, but because it was so afraid of everything now, it only could rest within this crystal heart, without being able to ever accomplish its dream of being freed.

Axitl explained this as simple as possible to Frank, as he realized what was happening, this baby wasn\'t even like the intelligent Alexander that was merely just exploring his own inner space, this baby was just… Lonely, and it preferred to be alone to no longer be hurt.

<br/>"I see… So that was it…" He sighed. "But you… You cannot stay like this forever, you know? If… If we have to force you out, we\'ll do that, because we are your parents. We want the best for you, my child… And caging yourself in this world forever… It is not the correct way of doing it." Said Frank.

Frank held Axitl\'s hand tightly, as she nodded. She seemed to also understand his plan and wanted to help, the two slowly moved forward, as they touched the crystal heart.

"Please, my child… come out of your shell…" Cried Axitl.

"We promise you that we\'ll bring you all the happiness you could never experience…" Said Frank.

"So please… give us an opportunity…" Said Axitl.

"Please… I want the best for you…" Cried Frank.

"Please!" Cried Axitl.

The two hugged the crystal heart, as they heard the beating of the heart of the baby, for some time, nothing happened but just silence. They continued hugging the heart, feeling the coldness of this creature made of pure chaos, as the two parents wouldn\'t let go of their child until it were to come with them.

The baby inside the heart-shaped crystal shell was in silence and unmoving, but after a few seconds, it slowly moved. Its little hand waved, as it resonated with cosmic brilliance, bluish cosmic neon color resonated from its little arm, shining with countless sparkles of stars within it.

"…"

It slowly moved the hand towards its parents… for a moment it doubted, moving the hand back. However, it slowly mustered some courage as it received the words of love from its parents.

Could there be a way out?

Will they really love it?

Even when it was a giant monster that only made other suffer?

Would they bring it the happiness it wanted?

Are they not… afraid of it?

The two parents looked at the little creature with the most gentle of smiles, such precious and loving warmth embraced the little creature with comfort, so much comfort that without even doubting it anymore, it touched the crystal, slowly cracking the crystal, and then shattering it into sparks of light resembling stars.

Crack… crack… CRASH!

"I-It came out…!"

"It did…!"

The two parents extended their arms, as the two caught the baby, and Frank gave it to Axitl while he hugged her, embracing the baby as well, a creature that had the silhouette of a baby but was made of pure darkness.

"Let\'s go home now…" Said Axitl.

"Come with us, there is a whole world outside waiting for you…" Said Frank.

"Hm, a whole universe…" Said Axitl.

"So, don\'t be afraid… We\'ll hold your hand as long as you want, until you feel confident enough to walk by yourself." Said Frank.

The little baby heard such tender words, as it began to cry tears of happiness.
