Egor’s Creation (Epilog)
Kronos entered the clouds and it got cold.
A flash of light and he heard “BEHOLD!!”
Then, next he knew he was here.
He didn’t know where, that was clear.
He was cast into outer darkness by God.
He had no feeling. That was odd.
There was no up, there was no down.
There was nothing else around.
There was no cold, there was no hot.
Was he moving or in one spot?
There was no black. There was no light.
He could not see. He had no sight.
There was no sound, no feeling either.
He seemed to be floating in an ether.
He couldn’t move. Did he have a body?
He had never felt so oddly.
There was no direction, no sense of time.
There was only one thing, that was his mind.
Everything else ceased to exist.
Only his mind, and that was it.
Creation had not happened here.
So, he had nothing to fear.
Kronos the monster, the living ‘it.’
It ranted and raved and had a fit.
It wasn’t human. Not created by God.
Yet, it was alive. How very odd.
A living entity to go on for eternity.
Only it’s mind gave it surety.
It screamed, cursing Anika in it’s mind.
There was no sound, no passing of time.
Soon, it was totally insane.
Ranting, raving, and screaming Anika’s name.
It was not of God,— so here it would remain.
Egor didn’t fare well with his jump into the future.
He knew the danger, now made only too clear.
He was now hunchback and had a limp.
He looked much older, but he wouldn’t vent.
He knew he would be safe here from what he did.
There was nothing here he had to keep hid.
The Wizards were celebrating big time after victory.
For a while there the outcome was a little sticky.
Zeus was enjoying the company of the panthers.
He scratched them as they rubbed against him and purred.
Then, he told Anika God had had it with man.
Magic would soon disappear from the land.
Every generation after that was born without it.
Magic became legend and lore. That was it.
Except for magical creatures and places.
Lore to humans, few saw their faces.
Their world was forbidden mostly to man.
Very few got to visit that land.
But, one day, magic would return big time.
Sent by God to save all mankind.
Way in the future, the full force would be heading
to a place called Armageddon.
