Elohim’s words sliced calmly through the air as it ached under the colossal disruption of the weapon as the charge increased its fervour… Corrine found her self shoring up the psionic field around her mind, partly driven from the rapture she was feeling as she stood poised on the brink of battle… but also from not knowing exactly the effect the great cannon might have on her.  She felt the wave wash out across her in an ever increasing sphere of force, it felt like the last gasp of a dying star as it bled a billion years of energy in a single moment…<br/><br/>For a second, realities and planes twisted and buckled around her… her mind slipping through them as though the whole of time lay open to her gaze… a hand rested upon her shoulder and she twisted her eyes around to find she was fixed with the infernal gaze of the ancient Mayan… her skin smouldered as the symbols seared across her flesh and her voice grated across the heavens…<br/><br/><em>“The ‘time of no time’ has begun Corrine; this is the age of ‘tranquillity’ as foretold by my people…. This is the seventh year from the initiation of the Katún, and now all that remains is for the world to enter a time of darkness… of cleansing and cataclysm. This is the end of the fifth and final cycle my child… the dawning of a new age… The Hunab-Kú beats to the sound of ancient prophecy…and it will not be denied…<strong> we</strong> will not be denied”<br/><br/>The Mayan goddess cast her eyes to the writhing fire that swept across the skies… before continuing… “The Hunab-Kú will emit a burst of light so intense that it will bring everything into sync and illuminate the entire universe...” </em><br/><br/>Her senses were rocked back into reality as the expanding energy wave was suddenly wrenched back in a colossal implosion.  Corrine was close enough to feel the titanic wash of the weapon as the air burned around her and cast forth a searing burst of streaming energy… nothing in its path remained…<br/><br/>Malakh had spoken of judgment….<br/><br/>In its wake the planets life stream exalted in a sudden surge, the green rivers of energy leapt and danced deep within the hidden core of the planet as it was suddenly fired by a titanic influx of energy… screaming writhing energy… each masked in the deep thrall of agony… each torn from this world by the strike of the avenging angel at her side.  Corrine gasped out as each one merged with the stream and augmented the pain that flowed through her blood. The energy coursing around her arm began to flare as the ancient drank deeply of the sacrifice wrought from the cacophonous destruction. Corrine felt her mind blister at their touch, the lifestream coursed through her and ached for a release, her psionic abilities spiked and as they did so, they brushed across something moving through the scorched land…<br/><br/>The piercing eyes of the twisted soul turned to the shape that had ambled to the edge of the crater and quirked a brow at him… she spoke to Elohim whilst maintaining her vigil on the giant that closed in… she sniffed the air… “Curious” she whispered as she watched the subtle sparking from his body… "What do you make of that?"<br/>
