they fell to the smoothtalk ..
the Darkeyed Scowler deceived one of the newkind with his longtalk
everything was changed
everything was lost
everything ..
" we longthought this, you and i ..
i thought this would be the best way to schoolteach the cosmos
to get all to see that lovelaw is bestlaw ..
the weak link was selfchoice
.. again
we have failed in this, and the cosmos will be the worse for it ..
Earthkeepers have given over their authority to smoothtalker Darkeyed Scowler
Earth of Milkway is now under his influence ..
this has hurt me much "
.. . . . .
and so it went
longlonglongtime
they longwalked and longtalked
and nottalked
where was this going to lead ?
surely no good will outcome
it all bode ill, it seemed
... .
and so it went ..
until oneday a longlongtime ago ..
they were sitting on the edge of a blackholestar crater
peering into its darkness in silence
longthinking
nottalking
just there
peering
together
as eachother
as one
" i have an idea .. "
" speak it, kingson "
" i will deceive him as he deceived them ..
by the time he discovers our plan it will be too late .. too late
he will not be able to stop it "
.. . .. .
they longspoke of it
the kingson's plan unfolded there on the edge of the blackholestar crater
as they longtalked into the deep dark of it
there was no echoing as their talk descended into the void
the darkdeep blackness that minded of the dread of Darkeyed Howler's deception
such awful dreadness
some dull light appeared in that ominous darkness
a spot of lighthope
maybe this could be the way to undo the dread
and reclaim the newlife and their newhomeplace
maybe ..
hope for the newlife
hope for the cosmos
maybe ..
maybe
more to come
