End of Days

by Hawki

Skyward Poem: Detritus was the last bastion of humankind. But against the krell, they were fighting a losing battle.

End of Days

The krell, they dominate the skies.

Long ended is the chase.

They besiege the final bastion,

Of beleaguered human race.

…

The krell, they dominate their prey,

They are Superiority.

Masters of the hyperdrive,

Masters of the galaxy.

…

Defiant flights are sent skyward,

To distant sun they reach.

But the krell blockade's impregnable,

Ship hulls cannot be breached.

…

Detritus shall be theirs in time,

Their banner shall be raised.

For the krell, another victory,

For Man, the end of days.
