The Seventh Mark

Etheil, the God of Order who can label and fix the nature of all living and non-living things, is ordered to erase an abnormal girl imprisoned in a stone tower. The girl bears the unique power to strip all set definitions from objects and beings, making Etheil’s divine ability completely ineffective against her. He visits the tower seven times to attempt defining and eliminating her, gradually losing his absolute certainty in his own authority and growing curious about her existence. The high priest accuses the girl of chaotic contamination and schedules a public purification ritual. On the altar, Etheil publicly abandons his mission, announcing that the flaw lies not with the girl but his rigid system of universal definition. He overthrows the priest’s authoritarian doctrine, accepts the coexistence of undefined unknowns alongside ordered creation, and lets the girl freely wander the world, learning to embrace uncertainty alongside his divine power.
