hey, kiki here and this is a fic, i hope, of no ordinary story telling... I'm trying to step into Phillip Pullman's shoes and write from there (since he broke my damn heart). ya... at the end of each chapter thingy, ill try to put a song that describes the scene and stuff... i'd love it if you guys gave me more songs that would fit into this all! *ahem* anyways, heres my story, four years after TAS. Read and review, and i want all your thoughts, complaints, and more ideas. since this is the prologue, i made it short, so dont be complaining bout that (itll just crush my self esteem) hehe btw, this is a *revised* edition. hope you like it even more!!
-lots of love

The stars, shaped like huge drops of golden dew, engulfed the night-time sky. A small breeze, flowing from a completely different world, and yet touching the atmosphere of this one, carried flurries of snowflakes across the partially-melted tundra, having suffered severe convulsions. Yet it seemed like it was radiating some form of hope. Five lighted beings, moving with such beautiful grace, flew with a purpose in their flight. They paused briefly in mid-air at a gap in the fibers of the sky, revealing a night of a different world, where domes of chapels and belvederes showed the grandeur of the peaceful town. The female bene elim, who seemed to be the leader of this group of lighted fliers, stepped up. And, keeping in mind the words of a strong, wise young man, she felt for the edges of this window with her fingers. Pinching them together, she concentrated hard on zipping the world shut from any other passage. And then it was finished.
"Is that the last of the windows, Xaphania?" came a voice from one of the angels, but it was hard to know who spoke, for it seemed as though they had all spoken in unison.
"Yes..." Xaphania answered, but some sorrow kept nagging at the shadows of her aged mind.
Having read her thoughts, another angel (or it could have been all four) spoke:
"You still think of those children, don't you? Let your worries for them surpass you... They have the greatest pleasure of all: The warm flesh on their bodies that allows them to feel the warm rays that flow from the sun, the light breeze of the sky that causes them shivers, and the light caress of their lovers. What more could they possibly want?"
Xaphania didn't answer, and presently the others raised their wings and shot up to the sky. She gave one last glance back at the sky, in which moments before had been a gateway to a totally new universe. A tear formed in her deep eyes, and it twinkled sadly as it slide down to disappear into nothing, as though it was never formed. Her face looked older than time, and yet as young as a little girl full of sorrow. Sunlight, seeming to have existed in another world completely, shone on her face- a face seeming to have a bit of hope left in it.
"Don't lose faith, dear ones..." and with that, she joined her comrades in the sky to traverse the stars.

"Everybody's got their problems/ Everybody says the same things to you/ It's just a matter how you solve them/ And knowing how to change the things you've been through/ Why do things that matter the most/ Never end up being our choice/ Now that I find no way so bad/ I don't think I knew what I had..."
-Sum 41 "Hell Song"
