The Apocalypse Path of Rebirth

Maya foretold that December 21, 2012 marked the apocalypse. On that fateful day, some were gripped by anxiety and fear, fearing a world without sunlight come the dawn. Conversely, others embraced a lighthearted spirit, spending the pre-dawn hours with loved ones, ready to celebrate their survival through the supposed end. As it turned out, the sun rose as always, casting a jest upon mankind, and life continued as usual. However, their joy was premature. The true end had already slipped in silently, but they were so accustomed to their harsh new reality that they failed to notice the verdant landscapes turning into barren soil, flora and fauna vanishing, clear waters turning stagnant, and green pastures turning into arid deserts. The observatory reported an unprecedented millennium meteor shower set to grace the early morning of December 21, 2020, visible to the naked eye, sparking excitement among young couples eager for a romantic spectacle. At midnight, the long-awaited wonder unfolded. The elusive full moon, unseen for ages, descended like a gleaming silver disk, breathtakingly clear. Yet, alarm ensued. According to lunar calendars, this was the seventh day of the winter solstice – how could there be a full moon? This was a stunning mirage, marking the grim beginning of a nightmare.
