There was no denying fate, no denying purpose. Each of them was here now because of the choices they had made in the past. Uub saw vaguely the diverging paths that had led them here, knew that it was predetermined that each of them had a role to play. But what still remained a mystery to him was if he was ready or not too live up to that role.
Leaning up against the wall of the watchtower, secluded on the glass covered balcony Uub pondered his thoughts. He scanned the horizon, taking in every detail his eyes could behold. He marveled at how beautifully the orange and yellow steaks of dusk cascaded in shimmering flames.
It reminded him of so many sunsets back home on Earth, the times he had spent with Pitch Black, the feelings of affection for his fellow team mates that had linked them together as a family. But now all of that was gone, and in the here and now Uub was alone, Burter was gone and nothing would bring him back. Uub knew this now as his icy blue eyes reflected the streaming flames of the falling sun.
?And as the holder of light falls, his reign over the sky coming to an end, the beholder of shadows arises to take his place.? The words passed over the Transcendent humans lips as his breath became visible in the chilled night air.
?Now as the Shimmering crescent moon rises so shall the bearers of destruction, the demon spawn that haunt this land, now they rise to feast on the flesh of man, now this war truly begins.
He pushed off the wall and leaned against the railing, his eyes taking in the shifting of the Angelic brigades below. ?They know that the time is near.? He hung his head in thought. ?But am I ready to play my role?? he gripped the railing as he answered himself.
?I suppose fate has already answered that question for me.? He sighed as the artic wind of night brushed past his silver and bronze frame. ?We can?t see past the choices we don?t understand, but now I see, there is no escaping this set course, for any of us.? He turned on his heal, turning his back on the dark horizon and reentered the sanctuary of the watchtower.
But for how long would this distilled peace last as the early hours of night flowed by?
