Apocalyptic Snapshots #2 (An apocalyptic promise)

 

 

 

 

 

Into the Ice I sink

 

And think

And sink

And think

And sink

And think

 

But when I heal from My Wounds

and swim out from under the Ice

My Hammer will strike at the Heart of the World

And in My absence,

those who chewed upon

My Sinew and Bone

Will be no more…

The Dolphenian Abbess, Alucia Delecourt, unlocked the vault door that led into the secret crypts that housed the ancient tablets and tapestries. She took a deep breath, exhaled, fired up the torch, and began her mile long descent down the ancient rune stone. Her feet were well versed in navigating the treacherous steps, (made from gems, stone and materials unknown) that spiraled sharply downward in a dizzying series of twists and turns that only the brave of heart or fanatic would attempt. She cursed herself for wearing sandals as each step that she took produced an echo that cascaded off of the other, creating the effect of a thousand marching feet pounding away at her eardrums. After what seemed like days, rather then hours, she finally found herself on level ground in front of the monolithic gates, (also made from gems, stone and materials unknown) that were the entranceway into the “Great Halls of Forbidden Knowledge”. She put her right hand in the designated spot and whispered the words of incantation whereby the gates creaked and groaned and slowly opened. As she walked through the gates the darkened hallways sprang to life with light. She unlit the torch and put it back in use as her walking stick and rod of power and headed towards the chamber that hung the “Hell Gate Tapestry” and its accompanying Tablets. Of the Twelve Great Tapestries that hung in these chamber rooms she was near certain that the “Hell Gate Tapestry” held the answers  to the whereabouts as well as the how and the means to safely retrieve  the “Thirteenth Tapestry”. Ultimate Power and Control was within her grasp.  She opened the chamber door and entered. As she touched the Tapestry she felt the bitter chill that emanated from the winds and ice in the ninth level of Hell. She took a deep breath and entered into its weave…..

My Hammer will strike at the Heart of the World
And in My absence,
those who chewed upon
My Sinew and Bone
Will be no more�

I so loved these lines.
I love how this is written out.
The form and the style

I like how you expressed
the words bolder to lighter
and backward that way towrd the end.

Very well presented write.
