Waiting for the End
prompt:SOUND
The Itch
Contrary to all expectations, to mortal prophecies, to the beliefs of psychics, doomsayers, and mediums, the first sign of the apocalypse was not a particularly noticeable sign. Not to humanity.
It did not come with warnings of disaster. It did not turn seas to blood or air to ash. There was no cultist, no terrorist, no danger that man readily recognized accompanying the sign. There was nothing at all that would cause those who were not expecting it to understand it for what it was.
The third morning of August, 1981, was the beginning of the end. On that morning the Earth herself began to sing; not in words, and not in any ways that humans could hear but oh how she sang. Murmurs and whispers of sound were crooned into the ears one of newborn child.
The Heavenly Host rejoiced, and the Legions of Hell began to put plans millennia in the making into effect.
Equally unnoticed was the second sign of the apocalypse. At the end of July in 1984, the Moon lent her voice to the song of the Earth. Together their voices rang loudly and echoed through the natural world, almost loud enough to be heard by human psychics. Almost but not quite.
The Prince of Earth and the Princess of the Moon had been reborn; the sounds of joy and rapture drowning out the screams of rage and hate, and muffling the scrape of whetstone across blades. It hid the wails of infants transformed and the screams of mothers burning.
The End of Days began with a song.
So.
uh.
I have no idea if anyone is even still paying attention to little ol' me, but I'm writing again. Just short stuff, and everything in this crazy little Supernatural/Sailormoon universe.
You can find all the pieces so far posted on li-xiang tumblr com, using the handy link on the side bar (otherwise, you'll have to pick through all of my reblogs. do that anyways, they're funny.) I'll try and post the other bits here, too, but I'm not actually writing them in order, so the pieces on FFnet are going to be a little... scattered. There are three 'parts' to the story: "Waiting for the End", which spans the end of the Silver Millennium to 2002, "Paved with Good Intentions" for 2002 to October 2005, and "Perdition is for Pagans" for November 2005 onwards.
