The world did not end in a bang, or a whisper, but rather, one scream at a time. The light died just the same, like a withering flickering flame trying desperately to breath. The oceans creaked and moaned, moved as if they were in a slow waltz- spinning around and around, waves like heavy limbs cracking down on the sandy floor. Grace must have been gone, it was only with feeling.

Everything was collapsing in. This world was unraveling, and I had no power to stop it and I was sinking into it.

This is what Arceus felt like, slow and powerful but heavy. It was almost a beautiful glorious moment. The earth crumbled, this perfect world… was disintegrating. It felt like an eternity. Everything that was bright and wondrous was now wretched and covered in ash. The green in the world crinkled and flaked into the earth until even that was gone. The internal body that slept under this soft life was undulating out onto itself, in fits of sputtering lava and blistering rage. When the world died so did I. Like it wanted to fight you, and I'm sure it did.

So take all all of me. If that is what is needed. If I have to become part of this new world, because like all things I too suppose I must fade with the light. My angelic body becoming one with the red dirt and the black waters, my eyes are weary and my body is tired. I will never be the same but my eternal love is always for you my light. So as the earth echos it's last hoarse scream, I too release everything in me. This love was never to end in a quarrel, but in the end I indeed was always the powerless one.

My last breath, and my only question- angerless but in selfishness, "why?"

In a thousand voices a reply came, echoing through my being with a ethereal feeling…

"Grace bestowed, made with the sky and ice and like the seasons it is time for a change. Your time is not done but in a new life I leave you and in my heart you shall remain. Any other ending would be unkind."

This promise was kept and I held no grudge for the pain I had to endure, and in secret we still had each other; In this silent but peaceful distorted world.
