Spring
Storm clouds rolled forth lower and lower from the
heavens, descending to the Earth. The sky and earth met and were no
longer separate. And then the gates of Heaven opened, a brilliant
light piercing throughout the cosmos.
Lucifer said with great solemnity, "The waters of the
sky and the waters of the sea flow again reunited. Heaven and Earth
are now one."
He looked at his vast army and whispered, "There is no
turning back."
Satan donned his mighty helm mounted with ram's
horns. With his fist he pounded upon his heavy, red armor, roaring
at his troops. In his other hand he wielded a giant spear. He
quickly rode back and forth among the troops atop a huge black
charger that towered over all of the other soldiers.
Satan completed his inspection and was satisfied with
the preparations. He galloped up to Lucifer.
Satan's eye glimmered with anticipation as he shouted,
"The armies are prepared, my Lord! They only await your word to
march!"
Lucifer acknowledged Satan and calmly gazed outwards
from the epicenter. He sat upon a pale, white horse with a long mane
of silver. Lucifer's pure raiment was still untainted and unchanged,
his armor of adamant and gold still brilliant, standing out brightly
from the rest of his gray and blackened troops like an ersatz sun.
He surveyed his legions arrayed in great arcs before him and all
around him. At the head of his personal guard, his banner flew,
snapping in the wind – his symbol of power, the Dragon. Lucifer
gripped the reins of his steed tightly. This was the end. He felt
the hard, cold sword at his side. This was his Fate. This was his
Destiny. All was as it should be.
But it gave him little comfort.
With a scowl, Lucifer swiftly drew the blade from its
sheath – its fire blazed with a white-hot intensity, brighter than
the dying burst of a nova.
The armies roared and the awesome tremor of trillions
of soldiers marching in unison shook the plains.
The end of all things had begun. |
