Chapter 21: Visions (1/2)
(translation by unknown)
Visions
We know the wonders which the ancient oracles saw with their omphaloi, during those first days of multiversal communication.
We know, that the ancient Olympiad was created in order to celebrate these wonders – honouring the many, and uniting the worlds in a spirit of unity.
But we also know the terrible things, which the ancient oracles saw with their omphaloi.
We know, that the agonothetai designed many of the traditions of the ancient Olimpiado not only to celebrate - but also to be careful. They tried to prevent the hugest terrible thing from occurring in their own world.
And we know which terrible events can still occur today, when the worlds fail to keep and honour these great traditions.
The First Catastrophe and the New Catastrophe
In 500 BC and in 1815 AD, the worlds ended.
First the oracles, and then the scientists watched with their omphaloi. They watched the end of other worlds.
Great fires burnt. The earth shook. Seas leapt out of their ways. Everything collapsed – and was then pulled again into totally new shapes.
Pangaea, the form from which all differences came, returned but this time in a new form. Neopangaea. The oracles and the scientists watched these things – the changes revealed before their own eyes.
And after the great destruction, a strange mix of survivors roamed in a single continent surrounded by a single sea. They wandered, seemingly for ages, until so few survivors remained that mostly differences collapsed again (... that most of the differences collapsed again ?), and Neopangaea was a single world once again.
