Aftermath - Part One
They say when the sun hit the sea and drowned in its big blue depths, turning the tranquil water first gold then red, the angels wept...
Les anges pleurés
...and there came an unearthly scream that raised every hair and fibre of every sentient creature; originating there, from the city in the silver sky above...
Le ciel argenté ci-deuss
...while an explosion like the wrath of Thor rippled over the barren ground, vibrations rumbling through the red earth below...
La terre rouge ci-dessous
...the circle of the aftermath spreading far out further than the eye could see, all the way beyond the crystal cities with their glimmering citadels and the sprawling metal factories, all the way to the impossible boundary of the blue mountains to the east...
Montagnes bleues à l'est
... and far on the other side, past the place where the darkly flowing river met the broken islands, and further still, all the way to the place they have forgotten, deep in the green valleys to the west...
Vallées vertes à l'ouest
...and above the silence, on that day, there was just one sound: desolation.
Désolation.
