The Beginning and The End

the Meteor was massive. The size of the entire northern continent, and it smacked right in the middle of my now dying planet. Watching from my tall tower in the west, I sighed and stood up from my throne. Walked down the isle of gold and silver, shining and glimmering as I passed by the two large trees of health and sickness, standing on each side of the double doors that I was to open and behold the crumbling world I no longer ruled. Grabbing each handle I hardened myself emotionally and closed my eyes, took a deep breath and threw open the double doors.

I walked forward arms out, collapsing onto the balcony's guard rails, feeling the worlds energy leave me slowly. This world was me, and I was this world. A place of beauty and wonder, now to be destroyed by some random space rock....how can this be? I opened my eyes and took in the world in front of me, feeling her pain and agony as she attempted to hold the core together, but to no avail. The world blew outwards around the space rock that was now completely destroying this planet of serenity.

I turned and looked down to see my two beautiful children Adam and Eve. Gawking at the sight of a world they have yet to understand, be thrown into space.

“Adam, Eve, It's time for you to leave. I am sending you to a far away place where it's safe. I will make sure you two are well taken care of. This place is no longer safe for you two.”

They both looked into my eyes stuck in an almost stupor. As if they could feel the world just as I could.

“but...father” they said at the same time with worried expressions stretched across there face.

“there's no time to talk, both of you get into my stasis pod.”

I rushed them into my room and forced them into the pod, only big enough for one person...or two children in this case. Grabbed the top of the door and closed it, looking at them through the glass and placing my hand on it while they did the same.

“Father!” they both screamed and cried, banging on the door, begging me to come with them.

I wiped the tears from my old cloudy like eyes and turned on the stasis pod, set the destination for a very young planet, but full with life and never ending possibility. Watched as they slowly fell asleep and froze in place. I smashed the button with all my anger and sadness and watched as they were fired into sky and disappeared within seconds.

Gathering whatever strength I had left I walked towards the balcony again. Opening my robe and exposing my old sun kissed flesh to the sun one last time to feel her magnificence. The heat of the core was rising and I could feel the strain upon the crust.

Suddenly the giant storm of dust and debris that covered this massive planet flew past me, and across the entire western continent. As I was slowly vaporized I could hear the planet speak to me one last time before I was turned to dust.

“God, you will be one with me once I become nothing but essence and foreign rock, you shall become the voice of the universe, Your mind and mercy knows no bounds. Together we..will..protect...all..of our children.”
