Rebirth
Devastations Wake
It had been some time since the sun
that was the center of the solar system went
critical in the universe. The air was still
saturated with the water that had once been in
the seas. The land was barren and the life
had been stripped from the surface. Even the
buildings that once stood in the midst of
metropolises no longer provided any evidence
of their existence. It was as if the world
revolted against itself and purged all the life
from the Universe. At face value, there was
no sign on life on the surface of the earth.
More often than not one would have to
look beyond the surface of things to see the
truth of what was contained within. It was not
about what was left on the surface that really
mattered. It was about what was contained
within the crust that really mattered. Even

though the power of the sun had obliterated the
things on the surface, the war did not killeverything. No single force in the universe has
the capability or the power to wipe out all
instance of life. Nothing contains that level of
power. The destruction that a person can bring
would only be that for a short time. Once
they depart the world, then so does their
influence. Be the intent good or evil, the
orlog that they bring to the world can only last
for the life that they live.
Those that wrote their ways in the past
were powerless in this new world. For the
dead have no power. It may be a sad fact;
nonetheless, a corpse wields no power and has
no value to anyone. The only thing that has
value to a corpse is the memory in which it
lived. Its body rots in the ground making its
physical presence non-existent, as well as the
spiritual essence that once made the hamr that
animated the body eventually falls into the

shadow. It may a callous existence when one
dies, yet it is the fact of the way the universeworks. One may get angry; they may shake
their fists at the sky. Yet death is inevitable,
no matter how angry they get, it comes.
There is no force in the universe that can save
a person from it.
Just as much as mortals die, things that
are higher than us live to. The nature and
details about their life cycle may be hard for
us to understand, yet they are born and die at
the same rate. There is no such thing as true
immortality. Even the great tree Yggdrasil will
die at a point. The very fabric our universe
will one day end. We cannot prevent, nor can
we predict it. Once it happens, we have to
accept the fact that it is a natural process that
must happen to preserve the integrity of reality.
The people that survived the cataclysm
that affected the Earth remain huddled in their
shelters. The people that did survive were the
-
7/31/2019 Filii Noctis - Rebirth Preview
7/36
ones that were in facilities that could withstand
the power of the Nova that scorched the earth.The earth was in a perpetual state of rain,
attempting to return the water that evaporated
from the bodies returned to the earth and gave
water back to the land.
Some of the military bases in the first
world nations were able to survive much of the
blast. Though their above ground facilities
were incinerated the blast shelters and specially
designed buildings held up against the assault.
Many world leaders had sought shelter in
underground bunker facilities from the effects
of the blast. There were many survivors, Yet
the ones that died were the ones that could not
find a shelter to protect them from the blast.
In the primary place where the battle
was fought, which was the North American
area known as Cleveland. There is ash mixing
with water from the nearby Lake to cause a
muddy ash like formations in the puddles on

the ground where it rained. In the area where
the Holt Tower once resided there was a largeconcrete pad where the building had once
stood. The people contained within steadfast
waiting for the elven queens to give the word
for them to go out and rebuild the world.
It has been a while since the heat
wave was felt; I wonder what it looks like out
there? Sigrid asked.
I imagine it is a cataclysm, Freya
said.
I never thought that something like this
would happen in my lifetime, Sigrid said.
You always have to prepare for
catastrophe sister, it looms everywhere, Freya
said.
Well understand that small things like
maybe some wars or occasional deaths, but
something along the lines of this is just utterly
devastating, Sigrid said openly.
It is the natural order of things. These
-
7/31/2019 Filii Noctis - Rebirth Preview
9/36
events have happened before. Things will
return and then when they grow they willeventually end with what you have witnessed,
Freya said.
Think of it this way, it would be even
more tragic if the world was allowed to grow
without restraint, imagine a world where there
are millions of deer, but nothing to eat.
Would you want them to continue to live with
the pain of starvation, or would you prefer that
they be obliterated so they do not suffer?
Hela said to Sigrid.
I get your point, but it just seems so
harsh, Sigrid replied.
Life is harsh and cruel, it is simply
what is, sometimes to have compassion you
must be cruel, Hela replied.
There would have been greater cruelty
had the world continued on its present course
Sigrid. Imagine a world that is over crowded
with people on top of people, spreading disease

7/31/2019 Filii Noctis - Rebirth Preview
10/36
and pestilence because the population is simply
out of control, Albert said.Exactly, you may want people to live,
but then when they have lived their life it must
come to an end. Imagine a world where
nothing can die. Would it be practical if death
ceased to exist? Life would grow to a point
where it would no longer be able to sustain
itself and then it would atrophy under the
attempt to feed the whole instead of preserving
those that deserve to live, Hela said.
Everything is a delicate balance Sigrid,
If death died then so would life as they are
interdependent on each other. You cannot have
one without the other. You stop people from
dying then they would live until they exhaust
everything and then eventually they would
come to the very thing you attempt to stop,
death, Freya said.
To respect death is to respect the
eternal cycle of life and death, When
-
7/31/2019 Filii Noctis - Rebirth Preview
11/36
something dies it is a blessing as it moves on
for something to replace it, there is no shamein death; it merely the cycle that never ceases,
Hela said.
It is our job to bring new life to those
that died Sigrid, both the light and darkness
must come together to rebuild the things that
we cherish. We cannot do it alone, many
people that we love and care about died, yet
they can be replaced. It is Natures Eternal
Religion, something to be sung about. Life
and death are the most sacred things to us,
Freya said.
Yay, I get to make pretty stuff, Sigrid
said as she smiled.
Well it is more about establishing
balance and order, the things that you create
must have purpose. You simply cannot create
things at random. You have to be able to
create things that serve a purpose in the greater
scheme suit the design of the universe, Freya
-
7/31/2019 Filii Noctis - Rebirth Preview

said.
Of course, I know I have to createthings that are functional and fit in with the
ecosystem that we are trying to build, I am
just happy to do so, Sigrid said with a grin
flashing on her face.
I am gratified at your enthusiasm
sister, Freya said.
It just makes me happy to do what
elves do, Sigrid said.
Richter walked up behind Sigrid and
locked his hands around her. She purred
affectionately as he embraced her from behind.
Victoria looked over and rolled her eyes as she
crunched on a carrot.
Sigrid saw Victoria eyeballing her and
laughed, Hey Victoria are you still upset?
No, Victoria responded.
Awww, I am glad that you are acting
more like an elf, Sigrid said, Maybe I can
play some mus

Victoria immediately cut her off before
she could finish her statement, Turn on thatvile music player and I will shove it
Girls calm down, Freya said as
Victoria started getting hot under the collar.
Sigrid pouted a little as she shrugged
her shoulders. She then in turn smiled and
pecked Victoria with a kiss on her cheek.
Victoria pulled away a bit, but let her kiss her
on the cheek.
It is almost time for us to return to the
surface and restore life to the world, Freya
said.
Of course, we all have a duty to
restore life now that the purging is finished
with, Hela said.
Life will begin in this area and then
we allow it to grow out from here until
Midgard is replenished, Freya said.
It is so great that we are duly chosen
to restore life, it makes me so happy, Sigrid
-
7/31/2019 Filii Noctis - Rebirth Preview
14/36
said as she clapped her hands.
It is our purpose in life, our purpose isto create and perpetuate life. It is our sole
existence in the universe, Freya said.
Death is at an imbalance at the current
moment, the world will not truly be restored
until we bring the balance back, Hela said.
Life begins with a single seed that
blossom into something truly great, Freya said.
Beloved follows in Christ, the Lords
judgment is complete, Flowers said to the
congregation.
It is now our duty to walk out into the
paradise that the Lord will create for us and
then it will truly be paradise on earth! Anne
said fervently.
Rejoice in the Lord my Brothers and
Sisters, the world is now ours, the wicked has
been judged, all that remain are the few that
fled from the wrath like the cowards that they
-
7/31/2019 Filii Noctis - Rebirth Preview
15/36
are, Flowers said.
Follow us and lets go out into theworld and create the paradise that the Lord has
promised to his children! Anne shouted.
With that, Anne and Flowers led the
congregation to the doors that allowed them
access to the world above them. A group of
able bodied men help push the doors open that
had become partially lodged with some of
debris that had blocked them. They exited the
shelter and looked around at the world around
them. There were some looks of disbelief as
they looked around. The temperature had
restored itself to a tolerable level. The land
and terrain were scorched and burned beyond
recognition. There was no life. It was a
barren rock with no signs of life in any
direction. Many of the people in the
congregation were disappointed with the state of
the world as it was.
I thought we were to go to paradise,
-
7/31/2019 Filii Noctis - Rebirth Preview
16/36
but this is worse than anything I have ever
imagined, One of the men said as he lookedat the devastation around him.
There was an intense level of moisture
in the air, as if the atmosphere was resettling
itself from have the water bodies vaporized and
now was coming down as rain and fog that
obscured the world around them. The
temperature was still relatively hot, but it was
no hotter than an August day.
It may look bad my brothers, but this
is the power of our Lord! We were not
meant to have the world handed to us, but to
build a better world free from the sins of the
past! Flowers said.
The people gathered in a circle and
started singing some songs to the testament of
the power of their Lord. Even though there
was no resources and they lacked the capability
to build more resources they still were
convinced that Flowers would be able to
-
7/31/2019 Filii Noctis - Rebirth Preview
17/36
provide for them. Even in the despair of the
times Flowers convinced these people that therewas still hope even when they had nothing and
could make nothing. The people looked
towards Flowers for salvation so that they
could continue to predicate their existence.
So when do we resurrect Baldur? We
need leadership in these Dark times, Valkyrie
asked the Elven Queens.
We shall do so soon, before we depart
this structure we shall bring Baldur back to
life, Hela said.
I will construct a vessel for Hela to
place his soul in. It will take some time to
create a vessel strong enough to contain his
spirit, Freya said.
That is correct; the average Light Elf
would be unable to create a vessel suitable to
contain a spirit as powerful as Baldurs. The
only person that would be able to create such
-
7/31/2019 Filii Noctis - Rebirth Preview
18/36
a vessel would be Freya herself, Hela said.
Of course, only the source of lifewould be able to create such a fine vessel, any
other vessel would rupture from the power that
it would contain for such a spirit, Freya said.
This is true, the more powerful the
spirit the stronger the vessel must be, Hela
said.
The spirit is quite a powerful source of
energy. When utilized properly it is a veritable
source of power, Freya said.
Of course, this usurping of the
dissolutive ond presents quite a situation for us.
If we do not regain access to that source of
energy we may not have the power to bring
back too many life forms if the energy is
being diverted for alternate purposes, Hela
said.
It has to be Kross, he seems to pursue
power no matter where it is. He probably has
interfered with the flow of power being that he
-
7/31/2019 Filii Noctis - Rebirth Preview
19/36
has access to it now as a Dark Elf, Albert
said.I cannot assume anything I cannot
prove, if he is trying to overthrow me then he
will be punished, Hela said.
He is out there somewhere, we must be
careful out there as not to interact with him to
in depth unless he confronts us directly, Albert
said.
There is no real value in combating
Flowers unless he becomes a legitimate threat,
Hela said.
I agree, if we focus on him exclusively
it will take us away from the things that we
need to do to restore the world, Albert said.
We must set precedence to the things
that we need to do, Freya said.
Kross is not an immediate threat at the
current moment. We should only deal with
him if he threatens us, Albert said.
Of course, that is logical. We should
-
7/31/2019 Filii Noctis - Rebirth Preview
20/36
not worry about what might happen,
realistically we need to focus on what isnecessary, Hela said.
Shall we go outside then? Albert
asked.
Of course, Freya said.
The Light Elves formed up with each
other as well as some of the humans to help
go out on an expedition to the outside. Albert
opened the blast shield that protected the
shelter from the elements outside. When he
opened the blast door, there was a wave of hot
air that hit everyone that was accompanied with
a wave of moisture that made everyone feel as
though they were sticky.
It is relatively hot, whats with the
water in the air? Richter asked.
The water on the planet boiled and
went into the environment causing massive
amounts of moisture which is going to fall
back to the earth in precipitation, Freya said.
-
7/31/2019 Filii Noctis - Rebirth Preview
21/36
I wanna do something! Sigrid said
cheerily as she ran over to a rock formationand waved her hand over the ground causing
some grass to grow.
Thats nice Sigrid, yet you should
observe this Freya said as she pointed at
the ground and a large pine tree grew out of
the ground and grew to 30 feet in a few
seconds.
Ooh, thats impressive and pretty,
Sigrid said.
Perhaps Victoria should try growing
something? Freya said.
I will try Victoria said as she
pointed to another rock formation. As she
concentrated a small juvenile sugar maple grew
from the soil about ten feet tall.
You are getting the picture Victoria, it
is imperative that we create things that are
necessary to the proper functioning to the
planet before we create anything else. Without
-
7/31/2019 Filii Noctis - Rebirth Preview
22/36
a base the other life forms would be unable to
survive, Freya said.It was the first thing that came to
mind, Victoria said.
That is great Victoria, I trust that we
will make great progress by the end of the
day, Freya said.
While the Light Elves were busy
creating plants, Hela walked up to each
creation and touched them and they developed
a sort of hue that gave the a unique life and
animation that brought them to life. Each
creation that the Light Elves created had a
unique life quality added to it that defined it
through the definition of the animation that was
given to it. The elves of both the light and
dark had come together to create a unique life
that was animated by the very essence of the
universe.
Ohhh that is pretty Victoria, Sigrid
said as she smiled.
-
7/31/2019 Filii Noctis - Rebirth Preview
23/36
Diana was right next to Victoria as they
pretty much kept each other company most ofthe time. Diana put her finger into a puddle
of water and some green algae started to color
the water.
That is good Diana, one of the
fundamental building blocks to life is the small
organisms that make life possible for the larger
ones, Freya said.
I figured that something small like
bacteria and algae should be created. There is
more to the natural cycle of life than just trees
and animals, Diana said.
Everything in the natural world is
interdependent on each other. Just because
something is large, does not make it more
important in the natural world, Freya said.
The life that would create would be
unable to exist with the power that I lend it,
Hela said as she put her finger into the water
and it started grow exponentially.
-
7/31/2019 Filii Noctis - Rebirth Preview
24/36
This is true, Freya said. The life that
we create would be useless if there were nospirit to animate the vessel. The light elves
may be able to create vessels, yet they would
be powerless to animate them without the aid
of the Dark Elves.
There is a particular balance in the
universe that everything is related to, Hela
said.
The balance that we maintain is the
ecosystem that we maintain, it is important to
keep everything that is supposed to function in
the ecosystem working properly or the system
fails, Freya said.
How will we know whether what we
create will be harmful or not? Victoria asked.
What you create will be mandated by
the will and edicts of fate, you cannot create
something that fate would not allow, Hela
said.
We are all bound to the will of
-
7/31/2019 Filii Noctis - Rebirth Preview
25/36
destiny, it would be impossible to step outside
the confines of our destiny. If we were notdestined to do something then we would be
unable to do it, Freya said.
The Three goddesses of Destiny have
already prescribed the things you need to do as
they have prescribed all our fates, Hela said.
I think I am starting to understand this
whole destiny thing, Diana said.
Whether you understand the will and
mandates of destiny are irrelevant. It is
impossible to violate destiny since the reality is
written by destiny. If the Goddesses did not
will it then it would be impossible to happen,
Hela said.
The rest of the female light elves fanned
out in the area and started to create more life
and organisms. After several hours there was
life built up in the area that looked like a
primordial development of a new world. The
organism started frown in the soil and started
-
7/31/2019 Filii Noctis - Rebirth Preview
26/36
to take root.
Richter walked about the garden that thegirl elves created. He stood about looking and
guarding the girl elves from any forces that
would seek them harm. He looked over the
group of elves as they worked. Occasionally
he would keep an eye on Sigrid, making sure
that she was safe. The other male elves
dispersed themselves amongst the crowd so that
they could maintain a defensive response in the
event that there was something to happen.
Elrick walked up to Richter and patted
him on the back.
Hey, it looks like the girls are going to
be busy with their duties. It is doubtful that
we will get attacked, yet we must remain
vigilant, Elrick said.
Of course, there is a very good
possibility that Kross is still lurking about.
That man is pure evil, Richter said.
Well he may be evil, but what I
-
7/31/2019 Filii Noctis - Rebirth Preview
27/36
understand, men like that do themselves in.
His greed is unsuitable. He will continue toconsume until he gorges himself to the point of
death. It is the natural order for men like
him, Elrick said.
I suppose that you are right, I wonder
how many people he will take with him until
he finally destroys himself, Richter said.
The people that he pulls down with
himself are destined for their fate. The wolf
does not change its fur, Elrick said.
Of course, Kross is the same thing that
he has always been, he was born a monster
and he has lived the life of a monster. There
is no changing that. It is sort of the story of
the Frog and scorpion. The Frog promises the
scorpion to take him across the river as long
as the scorpion does not sting him. Yet he
got stung anyway, It goes to show you that
people do what they are born to do. If a
person is born a monster then it is natural for
-
7/31/2019 Filii Noctis - Rebirth Preview
28/36
him to behave as a monster, Richter said.
Well the world is a predatory place.If you are born to be an unstoppable killing
machine then that is what you are going to be.
You are merciless to resist the call. Eventually
all creatures succumb to the nature of what
they are. The lion can only go so far without
eating before it ravages the lambs, Elrick said.
Of course, if dont do what you are
programmed to do then you die. We all have
to do what we are intended to do. Whatever
we do must be in accordance with the mandate
of Destiny. If we chose to resist we would be
compelled to do it against our will, Richter
said.
Of course, it is futile to fight destiny,
in every scenario all creatures carry out the
will of destiny. There is no way to cheat
destiny as there is no way to cheat death,
Elrick said.
That is absolutely true; it is one of the
-
7/31/2019 Filii Noctis - Rebirth Preview
29/36
constants in the universe. All things must face
the ultimate destiny of things, you cannot cheatdestiny, Richter said.
Even in this devastation there is hope,
the ones that have been selected are the ones
that have been chosen to rebuild the world, our
purpose is to help those that have perished and
carry on the legacy by which they have lived
in a new world, Elrick said.
The losses have been tragic, but those
deaths had to happen, had they not then it
would have been possible that there would have
been even been a greater tragedy, Richter said.
Even though they died, we will live on
and honor their memory, Elrick said.
Those who die in honor will live
forever in the memory of those that cherish
their deeds, Richter said.
Sigrid roamed around the area pointing
her finger at random rock formations and she
waver her hand over the formations and various
-
7/31/2019 Filii Noctis - Rebirth Preview
30/36
types of vegetation started to grow from the
ground. She smiled as the organism took rootand other things started to foliate the area.
Victoria and Diana hanged around each
other talking to each other. They as well were
helping life grown in the area.
I just want to thank you Diana for
being there for me. You have always listened
to me, Victoria said to Diana.
Victoria, no matter how alone that you
feel that you are, you are never alone in this
world. We share the same spirit, the same
blood we are of the same identity. The fact is
that we must be strong together, Diana said.
I love it when you speak to me Diana,
it is almost as though you are lending me your
strength, Victoria said.
You have always been strong Victoria,
it is the fact that Kross suppressed you for so
long that you truly lost who you were and
became someone else. You became dependent
-
7/31/2019 Filii Noctis - Rebirth Preview
31/36
on him, and then he betrayed you. The pain
from such a thing would be unimaginable,Diana said.
I know it hurts; it still hurts. I have
learned to deal with this pain. I wonder what
he is doing, what he is planning? Victoria
said.
The logical assumption is that he either
plans to kill or enslave us, Diana said.
Of course, his madness is beyond
comprehension, Victoria said.
I imagine he is in some hole preaching
to some Jebus freak survivors that think they
have been raptured Diana said.
I would hate to be them when they run
out of food, Victoria said.
The cannibals will start feasting upon
the flesh, Diana said.
More than likely, I wonder if the Dark
Elves eat like us? Victoria said.
Ask Hela, Diana said.

Of course, I suppose that she would
know about that, Victoria said.Has Tod been around Victoria, Diana
asked.
I havent seen him in a few months,
he was so sweet, but I suppose they have him
doing things, Victoria said with a dismal look
on her face.
Of course, these are busy times, maybe
you can visit him sometime when there is
time, Diana said.
I still wear that pendant he gave me.
He was so nice to see me when I was so sick,
I wish he was with me now, Victoria said.
Well it is daylight out Victoria, he
would go dormant if he were out in broad
daylight, Diana said.
Of course, I still miss him, it has been
a few months, Victoria said.
Well we got things to do, these plants
need some tender loving care, Diana said.
-
7/31/2019 Filii Noctis - Rebirth Preview
33/36
These plants seem to have a unique
purpose; I have never admired their beautybefore. It seems that they have formed a
unique bond with me, Victoria said.
Well this is what we are now Victoria,
as Sigrid said; we cant help what we are.
Diana said.
Victoria frowned when Diana mentioned
Sigrids name, but resumed what she was
doing, I suppose Sigrid would know.
I know you dont like Sigrid, but she
is special in her own way, Diana said.
She is annoying, as far as hating her; I
find it hard to hate her. The fact is that she
always manages to piss me off. For some
reason when she is in my presence it is as if
there is a child sitting in a seat bawling its
eyes out and there is no way to control the
volume. Some of the things that she does is
absolutely torturous, Victoria said.
Well still, she is a child, I understand
-
7/31/2019 Filii Noctis - Rebirth Preview
34/36
you find children distasteful, but again she will
not be like this forever, Diana said.I suppose you are right, but it is just
so hard at times, Victoria said with some tears
forming on her cheek.
Dont cry sister, Diana said slipping
an arm around her shoulder. Victoria leaned
her head into Diana and just spent some time
with Diana.
How is it going sisters? I trust you
are working well? Freya said as she
approached Victoria and Diana. The girls
reciprocated by hugging Freya and giving her
some kisses on her cheek.
We are fine, Diana said.
Freya looked at some of the tears on
Victorias check and smiled at her, Why do
you cry so dear sister?
Oh, It just seems that things get to me
from time to time, Victoria said.
You should not cry over things that
-
7/31/2019 Filii Noctis - Rebirth Preview
35/36
dont matter sister. It is futile, you can beat
your head up against the wall and beat yourselfup all day long, but the only thing it
accomplishes is a headache, Freya said.
Well sometimes it makes me feel better
to get it out, Victoria said.
Getting it out is one thing, but even
when you cry the problem is still there. The
only way truly to prevent tears is to solve the
problem. If you sulk about it eternally, the
eternal pain is your reward, Freya said.
I understand what you are saying, but
it seems as though I want to run at times,
Victoria said.
There was a verse that Odin said a
long time ago: The sluggard believes that he
would live forever should he run from the fight
and a thousand spears spare his life; but the
gift of age has not granted him peace, Freya
said.
What does that mean? Victoria asked.

You cant run from battle, you run and
you will be pursued, you may evade thousandsof attempts on your life. Yet in the end it
only takes one successful attempt to kill you,

mourn his passing, Freya said sighing.
