Chapter 31 - ( • descent • )

The only light

We brought to this wasteland

We called home

Were the falling meteors

That burnt the clouds to ashes

And reigned terror upon our kind

She took me to her domain

And gathered eleven other children

Birthing experiments to her visions

Using foreign stones from beyond

She tore into our skin

She cracked the thoughts in our skulls

She fractured our natural bodies

And divided them by the light of divinity

The staff I found in that cave

Had become a connection

An alignment with that of the stones

That now flow through our veins

And we followed her every command

Without will, without question

As she waved the staff

Our eyes had followed

As she slammed it into the earth

We fell to our knees

As she raised it to the skies

We praised her for the gifts

The unnatural, powerful gifts

That we used to reign over humanity

Divine slaves to the tyrant

The one with a throne

In the stars

And when the time had come

For humanity to witness

The future she had created

She set out to use us

As weapons of war

Against those who opposed her

And we were bodies of violence

Aged into perfection

And we fell from the skies

Our gifts taken from the stars

Our names taken from the constellations

Our reign, the future to humanity

We descended as meteors

A bright, violent wrath

That swept nations away

Until they, too

Fell under the reign

Of Autumn
