Doomsday of Shian'mer (Emily)

Grr stupid formating didn't work xD So it's all in one paragraph again. Sorry, kinda short too... This relates to a story I am writing (or um meaning to write. *Has one chapter*), so it might not make a whole lot of sense... But here it is anyway:

Shian’mer Archive #627

Date: 78^th of the season of Shining, 50 B.R. (50 years Before the Rise, referring to the rise of the Guardians)

Yes… this is most defiantly the end of the golden age. Even as I write I can hear the Light mages and the rest of the army march down the streets of the glorious city of Kian’sha. I would be with them if it weren’t for my… inferior powers. I would only be a burden to the stronger elves if I were to go. Alas, I am suck here in my room writing this, the only one knowing we are on the brink of destruction. We will surely be crushed by the Dark mages; visions of the battle have haunted my dreams for many moons now. No one truly believes I have visions—they say I make them up for attention because my powers are so weak compared to most. But I know they are true. They all wish to listen to the visions of the ‘all-powerful’ Oracle, who only speaks of how the Dark mages will be overthrown in this battle. That is a lie if I’ve ever heard one… Has no one else seen the supremacy of the Dark mages? Our pride has been getting in the way of the truth. Before anyone else realizes that, it will be too late. The golden age has lulled them into thinking we can defeat the Dark mages… Their hopes will be shattered quite quickly, I assure you. Sometimes I wonder if I should go join the Dark mages myself. I’m sure they would believe my visions. Maybe they could even help me improve my powers.

I can hear the battle beginning now… The clash of steel on steel and the war cries echoing in the distance. They are fighting for the two jewels of Shian’mer, the legendary stones of power. They hold more power then imaginable, I don’t even want to think about what will happen to Shian’mer if—rather, when the Dark mages get their hands on them. The whole planet will probably be destroyed… or somewhere near destroyed anyway. All I can do is sit here and wait for the complete destruction of everything I have ever known…

Date: 80^th of the season of Shining, 50 B.R

It’s over… Yes, the great battle may be over, but the outcome is far from what we expected. I doubt this could be referred to as a ‘glorious victory’ as the Oracle had put it. How could we ever believe we could defeat the Dark mages? I suppose I should have listened to what the girl Celia has said, she has a real gift. She should have been the one to become Oracle. But she hasn’t been seen since the battle ended. At least we have a new prophecy from the cross-worlds now; it is something to go by. The prophecy speaks of the first Guardians, four heroes who will rise and save us from the Dark mages. I can only pray that day comes soon…

Shian’mer is a wasteland now, everything is gone… Magnificent cities now lie in ruins. We now live in constant fear of the once-friendly creatures of the lands, which were mutated by the dreaded Dark mages. What once were enchanting forests now are haunted by souls who will not rest after the complete devastation of their homes, and will not leave until they see Shian’mer rise once more. I am afraid that day will never come. Even as queen I feel helpless; we can not rebuild this land. There is nothing. We have no food, and it is difficult enough to find non-toxic water, forget supplies for rebuilding an entire planet! The only solution I can think of is leaving. I have heard of a planet in a nearby universe, where forest elves have recently settled. Maybe we shall go there, for I cannot think of any other way we can survive. The forest elves are also enemies of the Dark mages, if we join forces maybe we can all make it through this threat. I can only hope they will agree with us… It is truly our only chance for survival.
