The world was silent.
Nothing spoke, nothing twitched. Nature took over the dawning of the nightly expanse. The soft roar of the ocean splashed against rigid rocks of the shore and cliff. The wind died down and made way for the passage of the transparent clouds that would soon cover a number of bright stars as the sky faded to blackness.
The sea's horizon reflected the warm glow as the sun grew closer to the edge of the world. It disappeared gracefully, and the magical colours slowly trailed behind.
Then, the contrasts vanished. The sky was pitch black; light was provided by the million stars and the full moon. The clouds thickened, covering the only source of light. Everything began the process of transformation.
With a swift flash of lightning and a roar of thunder, the sea raged and its waves soared towards the fullness of the covered moon. Every flash brought the waves advantages, and they reached higher above the surface. The lightning was uncontrollable; nothing was prepared to stop the endless race.
Until the moon peeked out from the blanket. From the grassy cliff above the raging sea, a silhouette appeared. A human-like figure rose from the air, and stared boldly towards the full moon. Another figure appeared, followed by another large group that appeared in unison. The multiplying continued, until hundreds of human figures were standing obediently behind the first to appear before them all.
And like the entire world in the process of hibernation, the forces of nature settled. The sea calmed and floated gently over rocks; the lightning vanished; the thunder soothed itself to a quiet hum. Clouds blanketing the stars thinned and allowed the circlets of shining gold to beam across the land.
But the grey clouds surrounding the moon remained.
The silhouettes watched intently. On each of the frames, two shapes appeared on opposites sides. The shapes stretched out, expanding to their fullest. Black feathers floated in the sky, reflecting off the wings of all the solemn silhouettes.
Then the moon disappeared behind the clouds, and the figures vanished to nothing.
The global life remained as before, and the silence bared no truth of disturbance….
