Chapter 12
The ending will look beautiful my center, shall we watch it together. The female of the two asks.
Of course, though I fear we timed it too closely. We may have to intervene. The male replies.
We will intervene if required. Now come sit with me and let us watch the universe unfold.
----------
At first, it is fear that grips the multitude as the heavens disappeared into the blackness. Some died from that fear, while others, even the unfaithful fell to their knees. Now all that matters to those watching the heavens is the beauty.
A minute ago, two bright lights shot to the heavens. The lights had been too beautiful to even describe. They pulsed in every color imaginable; they flared, and projected love and serenity. The two lights streaked into the blackness and disappeared.
Most thought that was to be the end of the show. But when those two lights disappeared into the center of the blackness, the blackness starts to change. At first the change was minuscule, just barely a flicker but it continued to grow until where there was once a forbidding black hole there is now a light and color show that is dizzying to behold. It is as if the very substance of the universe has been released and now dances a joyous dance.
An explosion…. colors streak across the universe and the black hole clears.
Those watching would have previously sworn that they would never see something as beautiful as what they had just seen. They would have sworn that they would never see something so hypnotizing as the light show the heavens had produced, but the sight of a beautiful blue green planet in the center of what was once a menacing black hole silences the world. Never would they have thought, never would they have dreamed…Earth trembles….
Help me hold it together Maryalyan for they need more time.
It will hold.
Those few million that were standing find themselves thrown to the ground as the earth’s orbit tilts and the earth moves into its place in the line of planets. The populace scream in fear and despair, and where billions would have seen now there are only a few million looking to the heavens as the bright lights soar from the heavens.
The earth continues to tremble; pressure seems to build, to push upon the surface. Earth finds its place in line and the sudden halt of orbit causes twice the commotion then the commencement of the move had. Humans scream in terror as dirt flies, water rise, and man’s greatest creations tumble into nothingness.
We need to hold it just a little longer Maryalyan
Our strength should be enough.
Those who are watching rejoice in the belief that they are seeing their salvation… Angels streak from the heavens. So bright they are that to look directly at them is impossible and most soon discovered that even with closed lids the Angels glory shines through to make itself known. So entrenched in their belief are they that they refuse to see the truth of what is.
Most of the capsules congregate in the southern hemisphere and plunge into a hole that goes deep underground. There they seek the ones with the mark and once found the capsule opens to carefully encase the marked one inside. Then with their bundles secured the capsules fly back into the heavens.
Other capsules plunge into waters and there they gather the marked animals; others scour fields and ocean bottoms. Soon, these join the others in the darkened sky.
For those on earth the sighting of the Angels, the shaking of the land, the waiting to be rescued seems to take forever but in reality only a couple of minutes pass from the time when they see the Angels appear and then disappear once more in the sky; their cry of despair echoes throughout the cosmos.
Let it go my center. It is now time for us to watch.
They release their hold and cascading chaos reins on earth. Freed from their restraints at last, the waters wash over the land, earth matter from dirt to rock fly into the air, man’s buildings finish their collapsing, ice flow where none has ever flowed and mountains shudder and tumble. Voices rise in alarm.
Those on earth do not yet realize it but their sun had exploded almost eight minutes ago. Mercury explodes from within and its debris follows the sonic wave that caused its destruction. The wave and debris hits Venus tearing it apart like a child tearing apart an unwanted toy. The destruction continues towards Earth. The earth crumples to the destruction as easily as Mercury and Venus. The two celestial bodies are the only ones left to witness what comes next. They watch the extinguishing of the rest of the planets that had aligned and finally a part of the universe that was once so bright goes dark….
----------
That was beautiful was it not?
Yes very. In a way it is a shame for we put a lot of energy into that planet and the new one will take much to make it as viable.
Yes it will but it is that making and molding that excites you. Beside, feel the energy you were expending on those that just perished coming back to you? Soon you will be swollen like a human mother ready to give birth so you will need something to spend that energy on.
One heavily body smile to the other.
Come then…husband…rest in my arms while we wait for them to arrive for we will have much to do thereafter.
----------
Many of what would have been earth years later in a place far from its origin the capsules deposit their loads. They spread the humans and animals across the vast landscape and across watery bodies in pairs. Others capsule open and seedlings fall gently throughout the land.
The awakening is slow but awaken they do and upon waking, every creature from human to the smallest of insect has an unquenchable desire to breed.
Two heavenly bodies watch and smile…..
