The Earth was in a state of chaos. All hope seemed to be lost for the human race, people were dying by the hundreds and the few survivors had a hard time trusting one another. Angels, and demons had roamed the Earth, plagues had taken over the planet creating destruction everywhere, people who were presumed dead had come back from beyond to get their revenge on those who had exiled them during life.
And yet, hope was not lost. The remainder of the human race clung to their hope and chose to believe in Morgan and his guidance. Small altars for Him were created within the ruins of what had once been great cities. Made of fallen wood, vines and rocks, these shrines were meant to remind people that there was something more to believe in.
Together, the people in our group created a painting of the Almighty in a block of wood. Some also chiseled the plagues into stones to remind people of their sins, and about the darker times. We were all Survivors and they had to remember all that they had endured. Finally, someone else added the images of Earth, good and evil to serve as a permanent imprint of the paths we had the choice to take. These logos were clearly a way to tell each other that we always had the choice to stay pure and good.
Our shrine is simple, it doesn’t have the magnificence of the altars of old times. But this is the end of the world, no one has time to carve columns of Greek proportions or create complicated structures. Something simple where we can pay our respects to Him is all that we need at this point, because it is here where we come and pray and remind ourselves that there is always hope. And perhaps, one day the human race will be victorious and we will be able to live at peace once again.
