The End of Days: A Shattered Land
Hearken, O wanderers of the sands, to the words inscribed upon this scroll, and heed its words, unearthed from the depths of the desert’s heart. In the twilight of the age, when the sun bleeds crimson and the moons weeps silver tears, the land shall tremble and shatter. The earth, once steadfast, will rend asunder, and from its wounds, the desert shall rise, a beast awakened from its slumber. The dunes shall swell and surge, devouring all in their path, swallowing cities and mountains alike. The winds shall howl with the voices of the forgotten, and the sands shall dance in a frenzy of destruction. And lo, the sea, in its wrath, shall rise to claim what remains. The waters shall surge forth, a relentless tide, to engulf the remnants of a shattered world. The waves shall crash upon the shores, and the deep shall swallow the land, leaving naught but silence in its wake. Thus, the prophecy speaks: the land will shatter, the desert will rise, and the sea will swallow all. Beware, for the end is nigh, and none shall escape their fate foretold.
These voices, he claimed, were the whispers of ancient spirits, revealing the hidden truths of the world. His prophecies, jotted down with frantic strokes of a brush, captured the essence of his visions and the mysteries they unveiled. To this day, Hassan’s teachings and visions are treasured by collectors, each scroll a testament to his profound, albeit eccentric, wisdom.
I love the vivid scene in the beginning and the cadence of the prophecy itself! Great writing. I also really like the tidbit explaining Hassan. I'd love to learn more about him and hear more of his prophecies. Was he onto something?
Glad you enjoyed it! Hassan was wise beyond his years, but who knows if those were just mad ramblings or a vision of the future... However, I'm happy to say he will certainly make an appearance in future articles.
