CHAPTER THIRTY FIVE
DarkFlood knew the time was coming.
He just did not know when exactly. According to the scrolls, or as they referred to themselves, the Charts: The days of the Two Suns starts with an awakening and ends in not a triumph but a whimper. In the scheme of all things, the destruction of the earth was barely noticeable. But in their last days, humanity shows the universe what it truly is made of.
The Charts explained many things to Philip, he liked to refer to it as the Spectrum Theory. As long as you can plot enough patterns and cross-sections you can figure out the course of anything, even chaos.
They were the key to humanity's salvation. By now you are probably asking, "From who?" And there is no doubt that you know humanity needs not salvation from anything but each other. In the days to come people across the globe will begin to develop strange abilities, what was thought to be supernatural powers. It would be a long, grueling process. It would be painful. The best will feel the transformation the most.
DarkFlood was the eternal watcher of mankind; an infant race turning into a highly evolved species and tearing themselves apart.
At first, sides will be drawn. He knows his enemy. Fitzsimons was still out there and will pay for the death of his wife. Right now, DarkFlood's life was straight-forward, absolute. Before long, his enemies would outnumber him and overwhelm the few remaining forces of good. And not shortly after that a galactic sneeze will extinguish the flames of the sun and bring the earth's rotation to a screeching halt.

He knew he could leave anytime he wanted to. DarkFlood could leave and travel the stars. He could never look back and ignore the death of Earth, chalking up the place he came from, his home, to a quiet fate like so many planets before it. One day he would have to make the choice and deal with his decision forever. Right now, he knew the right thing to do, and he stayed.
What came out of the translations from the Charts was abundant in detail and long-winded in ancient parables, but they were all of the same sort.

A sun will go supernova, and turn into a black hole, catalyzing the end of this world's days.
Its waves will supercharge all life.
Its dark debris will bring earth's polar rotation and orbit around the sun to a stop, ending time and putting out the sun.
In the great quest for God.
In the undying search for meaning.
One last testament of man will be seen through by answered prayers.
And man shall rise or fall all before the DarkFlood.
