Breaking Out of Our Cocoon

The invisible disease still lingered in the air. But it was not as predominate as the smoke that could be smelled everywhere. After Ura, the demon of plagues, began to fall into her one hundred year slumber The more powerful demon of division roared with thunder. Not even old, greying Joe could stop him as he laid in his coffin. The lotus princess took over the presidency and he was forgotten. When the golden goddess' elephants died, all she could do is cry. She looked up at the sky and asked God "Why?". Into her open hand a hardened silkworm cocoon fell. As it began to break out of its shell, Its wings filled up with blood and strengthened. Brown, strong cecropia moth wings lengthened. "TO STRENGTHEN YOU FOR WHAT IS TO COME" God's voice advised. "YOU MUST BE STRONG ENOUGH TO DEFEND THE HUMAN RACE AND YOUR EARTH FROM THE DARKNESS THAT WILL INVADE SOON".
