Hell Notes
The Lady: Holy, Holy, Holy10/9/2019 The skies filled with flashes of light and distant, or not so distant, thunder. Our blue fleet from the abyss began the purge, despite all other ideas that were on the table. Maybe our walls could have held without it, but probably not for long. While fire was raining on the dark realm right across the cliff, our teams were actively looking for infiltrations all across the place on our side.
"I took part in many battles in many places, yet it never crossed my mind I'd see one happening in our own back yard, and so soon." Everything seemed so surreal, my mind was struggling to accept the new reality. "Will this be enough?" Bee sounds worried. "We should be fine now. With all the help we received, the scales are tipping to our favour. All that left is to clean up and fill the holes in our walls." "If you say so.. Just don't dismiss plan B too quickly." "I don't see any reason to abandon something we worked so hard for, all our dreams and hopes, over few unexpected challenges. This place is my retirement plan, my home, real home, the only home I have. All will be fine." I'm sure it's not going to be as easy as just killing off this infestation and life as usual. But, as we are now, we can repel any future interventions. Which not likely to get much worse than what we we've seen so far. "We are not alone.." Bee pointed in to distance. "Someone else is observing." It took me a moment to focus, but I could sense it too, a familiar scent. "A reaper.." A feline figure emerged from the shadows. She comes and goes as she pleases, but when she comes, often brings chaos to my plans, ideas and hopes. "Well shit.. And here, I was having lovely, hopeful evening.. Maybe he's just passing by?" "It's your friends, you tell us, are they ever just passing by?" "Seems like we now know who is behind all our troubles. Might as well say hello." I rarely spread my wings, but this seemed like appropriate occasion, to meet our not very welcomed guest in their element. The thing was just hovering above everything in silence. I came as close I felt comfortable to be. His aura, like some corrosive cloud, made the air hardly breathable. "Why does it have to be always you, people, behind all the crap? I was really praying for it to be someone else behind all this mess. At least just this once." "Perhaps you were praying to the wrong God." "Yours have deaf ears for all my prayers." "You should try praying for forgiveness, before anything else." "You are not here to lecture me, what do you want?" "Your job was to protect our children, not to steal some of them." "You got it mixed up. I'm doing exactly that, protecting some children. Just this time, from you. It seems." "You can't win this." "Win? I have no such dreams. I'm not trying to win anything, I'm merely trying no to loose. Not to loose just long enough for you loose interest in just couple random kids." "You know well, we don't measure time in days or years, but in centuries and thousands of years. All this, that you created, and all that you caused will vanish and be forgotten in but a moment." "Perhaps. But your kind brought me back not because I'm rational, but because I'm so stubborn like that. A man of deep commitment, you might say, whatever the odds. And right now, I feel very deeply committed till the end." "And the end you shall receive." "Well, good day to you too then." There wasn't anything else to talk about. His presence was the message it self. There is no light at the end of this tunnel. I turned back to meet my people waiting where I left them. "What is our plan now?" Bee was waiting for some clarity. "The B plan.. Start preparing for immediate evacuation. We only have few days."
