In the celestial realm, high above the mortal world, a grave council was convened, burdened by disquiet concerning the intertwined fates of gods and humans. A palpable tension filled the grand meeting hall. We Nyili' Timo, brow furrowed, lamented, "Mortals grow audacious, treating our domain as mere amusement!" We Cudai added, "And gods descend too freely, threatening ancient balance."
Datu Patoto'e, his gaze filled with regret, nodded. "If this continues, humanity will cling to us, never resolving their own predicaments."
"But can we truly forbid them?" We Cudai questioned, a note of doubt in her voice. "Are they not, after all, our own descendants?" Datu Palinge', supporting Datu Patoto'e's perspective, interjected, "They must, however, learn to stand independently. We cannot perpetually indulge them."
"Then let us close the sky door!" We Cudai exclaimed, her doubt replaced by fervent resolve. "Let them forge their lives without our intervention!" Datu Patoto'e offered a wry smile. "That is the wisest course. The sky door must be sealed, for humanity to confront their world unaided."
"When, then, shall this be enacted?" We Nyili' Timo inquired, seeking concrete assurance regarding the impending finality. "At the forthcoming full moon," Datu Patoto'e declared with unwavering authority. "Should any deity choose to remain on Earth until then, they shall forever reside among mortals."
"Why not simply ensure all goes well?" We Cudai pondered, grappling with human fallibility. "Why grant them the choice to err?" Datu Patoto'e, with profound wisdom, explained, "Humanity requires space for contemplation. Errors instruct them more profoundly than lessons we impart; they must learn to regret and repent."
With Datu Patoto'e's explanation, the deities nodded in solemn agreement, accepting the profound decision. The sky door would be irrevocably sealed, and with its closure, Sawerigading and his entire generation would inevitably forfeit their inherent divine powers.
"We, as deities, are not to pamper, but to observe," Datu Patoto'e affirmed, gazing towards an uncertain future. As preparations for the full moon commenced, sadness permeated Datu Patoto'e's heart. He pondered his descendants' fate and the myriad uncertainties ahead.
