The end was not truly the end, but an event that set back the progression of the human race, dear reader.8964 copyright protection239ＰＥＮＡＮＡsTvXaPnw0p 維尼
There have been myths and stories foretelling the end since the dawn of time.8964 copyright protection239ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1R9axRF3Ez 維尼
In greek mythology, there is said to have been several apocalypses, each bringing about the end to one age of man, and life to another. The first age was known as the Golden Age, the first race of man lived during this time, under the rule of Cronus when he reigned in heaven. They did not know old age and lived without war. Though they died, it was felt like sleep. The earth bore fruits without trial and yielded all needful things.8964 copyright protection239ＰＥＮＡＮＡT5oVCfppVh 維尼
This age was known as the first age where no one was compelled, faith was kept, and good done. There was no law, hence no need for punishment. No cities. No states. No warring nations. There was no war, nor did anyone sail across the seas in search of more prosperity.8964 copyright protection239ＰＥＮＡＮＡWA8Nc2k5A0 維尼
This age came to an end by fire. Man was loyal to Cronos, so when Zeus took power, he feared that man would rebel against him.8964 copyright protection239ＰＥＮＡＮＡRXT5DNMM4F 維尼
In the second age, the Silver Age, the world was ruled by Zeus. The Olympian created the second generation of humans. Zeus shortened the spring and forced the year into four seasons. The seasons forced the humans to take shelter, for up to then their homes had been caves and branches bound by bark.8964 copyright protection239ＰＥＮＡＮＡMWo1v0Tjgs 維尼
The humans then stayed with their mothers for a hundred years, growing slowly only to live short lives once they reached maturity. They lived in sorrow due to their foolishness, for they wronged one another constantly, nor would they serve the gods. Their behavior angered Zeus, and he destroyed them with fire for their lack of maturity.8964 copyright protection239ＰＥＮＡＮＡHc1T0GXUyN 維尼
The third race was known as the Brazen race, who were more ready to use arms, but not yet impious. They were created by Zeus from ash-trees.8964 copyright protection239ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Ifowxe2nO 維尼
This race was not held equal to that of the Silver age. They held love for war and violence, yearning only for more blood to be spilt. Their armour was of bronze, as was their weapons, houses, and various objects since their was no iron to be harnessed. They were said to have been destroyed by their own hands, as their perishment left no evidence. Others say that they were destroyed by the Flood in the time of Deucalion.8964 copyright protection239ＰＥＮＡＮＡhsXoWevK6p 維尼
When the Bronze generation was dead, Zeus forged a fourth generation. They were of more noble stock, and far more righteous; they were the heroic demigods. They were the race before our own.8964 copyright protection239ＰＥＮＡＮＡjV9Y9u58og 維尼
Many died in wars such as Thebes and Troy.8964 copyright protection239ＰＥＮＡＮＡWFqjXwjqrh 維尼
Some were granted an abode apart, untouched by sorrow, at the ends of the earth, in Elysium, or the Isles of the Blest. They lived far from the gods, who were ruled by Cronos, whom Zeus had released.8964 copyright protection239ＰＥＮＡＮＡoJQjVqLKNo 維尼
The demigods were destroyed by Flood and Wars.8964 copyright protection239ＰＥＮＡＮＡSBYOCnO9Rx 維尼
In the Iron Age, the fifth generation was created. It was the Age of Iron. Evil burst forth into this baser age.8964 copyright protection239ＰＥＮＡＮＡpI9IjteRRG 維尼
Men never rested from sorrow by day, nor from perishing by night. Faith, modesty, and truth left the earth and in their place sprang trickery and greed. The earth became tarnished with boundary lines. Man demanded all from the earth, not just the fruits that it bore, but wealth.8964 copyright protection239ＰＥＮＡＮＡlXMibzHDgd 維尼
Not only did iron come from this age but gold, corrupting men and their children, like a snake in the garden. They found it natural to plunder and live off what they had stolen.8964 copyright protection239ＰＥＮＡＮＡVPjOcf04oI 維尼
The guest could no longer trust the host and affection became rare. Longing for one another began to corrupt even the holiest of matrimonies. Piety vanished from the mortal realm and Astraea left the earth.8964 copyright protection239ＰＥＮＡＮＡIWa96qHktn 維尼
Zeus took far longer to destroy this age, allowing the human race to grow out of its bounds yet again.8964 copyright protection239ＰＥＮＡＮＡK17LjJHjll 維尼
The destruction to that race was known as the Reversal.8964 copyright protection239ＰＥＮＡＮＡAYPJ3nTSgz 維尼
It took place in the seventh month of the year 1999 A.D. as prophesied by the seer, Nostradamus. 8964 copyright protection239ＰＥＮＡＮＡGDgoCCO09U 維尼
No one could have fully predicted what happened. Not even the gods.8964 copyright protection239ＰＥＮＡＮＡHFqeWsxkea 維尼
The Aegean gave up her long kept secret. From the waters rose the dilapidated ruins of the storied Atlantis.8964 copyright protection239ＰＥＮＡＮＡoUgMWeEOvo 維尼
