A silent bomb went off in Mae’s stomach.

She could feel the faint movement of the ground start to rumble in the far distance.

They’re coming

She warned her people cause she knew; the others would return some day starting over again here on Earth.

She never doubted their return only preparing for this day that has come.

She looks around thinking about what the others might do. She’s been teaching her brothers and sisters on how to fight and when to stand down

To blend in with the crowds since this is not only about the battle of the strong. It is also to see who is more cunning when the Gods begin to play their mind games with us all.

They will trick you with their beauty eagerly waiting for your walls to come down but what I’ve learned in the past is that the Gods only come down here to not be so bored with their own kind. So she prays to her kin that helped her to see how these creatures coming to our door steps…

are only the beginning.

The Twins

“Brother why must you always take my food?”

“Because it’s delicious, and also, you don’t want me to starve do you?”

“Well I hope it was worth the sin for I am annoyed enough now that your future is to be held by my hands and it is a guarantee that I will make it the most unpleasant experience .”

“Brother come now, we don’t have time for your dramatics today.” “Mother will be the one to take action on your words if we do not succeed on the tasks at hand.”

“Fine, but you owe me a snack later.”

Tidus laughed, clasping the arm of his twin, pulling him towards the edge of the cliff.

Clause rolled his eyes as he was pulled taking in a breath before falling towards earth. He hated it when Tidus did this. Who’s the dramatic one now huh?

The Twins were bullets, shooting down to the lower levels of earth catching fire to anything near them.

Tidus moved to the left while Clause moved to the right leaving the living to burn in their wake.

Maybe some of them will be quick with the way things change and make it out of there, but then again, the elements seem to not give them the option nor mercy.

Coming full circle, the twins managed to bring chaos in all directions.

“You missed a spot.”

“Is that really necessary, critiquing me of my work?”

“Oh but it is.”

“Well if you could keep it to yourself next time or write it down and burn it, that would be lovely.”

“I’ll think about it.”

“Thank you brother.”

Screaming was heard in the distance.

Crackling and cracking of the trees persisted.

Smoke covered the skies like they were grey wool blankets keeping the heat in.

And what was left of the spring season blooming flowers had collected ash on the peddles leaving the insects and animals that were roaming in despair.

Mae’s cream colored coffee was saved to sip on for a later time now that real threats are here. She pushed the door aside to exit the coffee shop already dialing the only person who knows how to handle situations like this.

“Daliah, you must have felt it too.”

-“Indeed I did, and to think with all that comes through here every day making noise, one can never mistake the sound of doom.”
