Epilogue

And so, all things shall come to an end.   The Sun shall set its final course,   And the Mountains will be laid low.   All souls shall gather at the end,   When the Walkers wander home.
— ~The Epilouge
  Since the beginning there has been the concept of the End. Just as the Creator promised that the machinations of the The Fallen Sun would be foiled through the work of the Savior, so did he promise that the grand story of The Mortal Lands would also have an end. When the Walkers were put upon their Course to wander the Mortal Lands following their betrayal, they were told they would only be reunited upon the end of the ages, when all would be called home. This promise has become known as the Epilogue, and is considered separate from the book Apopcalypso, which was a dual propechy given to one of the Shadowed Apostles just after the Savior returned to Heaven.   Where as Apopcalypso details events that can pretain to both the Abaisi culture some seventy years after the Savior's mission, and the predicted 'end days' of the world itself, the Epilogue only seems to deal with the very End of Time. Fitting for its name, it is a denounment of the world, when all strife has passed, and the travelers near their journey's end. It is not a bombastic or dreadful prediction of the end, nor is it meant to inflict fear or strife in those who hear it. Far from it; it is meant to give comfort, that all will find rest at Journey's End.   Muliptle theistic circles debate just how true to canon the Epilogue is. Some hold it just as sacred as the rest of scripture, while others consider it part of the Apocrypha, and some not inspired by the Creator at all. But all consider it part of the Story, even if it means the Story ends.

Canon or not, I like this version of the end of times.

Hi there! Just letting you know that I featured your article as a main in my Reading Challenge. Thanks again for sharing! God bless. <3  

Though this article was a more traditional take on A MYTH OR PROPHECY ABOUT THE END OF THE WORLD and outlined a philosophy that somewhat mirrors what many believe in real life, the narrative voice, alongside the lovely poem and other mentioned aspects of the fictional world made me very curious about The Mortal Lands! Not to mention the eye-catching name of the article and the world's sleek, inviting design. This article was short and to the point with a wonderful layout and links to other articles that encourage more reading. Once again, another lesson reinforcing the fact that articles don't have to be super lengthy or pumped up with images or outrageous amounts of CSS to be good.
