DEATH GATE, A WORLD'S END
They broke the world.
You would think that it was a quick and terrible thing,
like an inferno of flames or a great explosion,
but it was not,
it was slow and agonic and unstoppable.
The light and the warmth extinghished, day by day,
first it was the plants and then, the animals.
We, the races, tried to hold on as much as we could
but it was not enough, never enough.
And so, first it was the elves, they wilted without the sun,
and as the earth broke and dried, so did the humans,
the dwarves held a little more that most, but in the end
they succumbed to the cold that gripped it all.
And I was left alone.
I think that I died, although my body didn't,
because after this moment I felt my heart and mind shatter
and disappear little by little, piece by piece,
until there was nothing left, and I was as void
as the space where our home, our world, had been.
They broke the world,
and in this ghostly universe, made from its ruins,
only I remember...
That precious blue jewel
shining in the depth of the Universe,
our dearest mother,
Earth.
