Judgement Day

From the smoothest lights and sharpest darkness soaring up and over, creeping closer, Judgement descends in abrupt quietness.

It sprints breathless, an ominous rover of the roaring pride, with a pristine hide, it claims unopposed the fields of clover.

Its steps echo on the silent cliffside, the doors forced open, the words spoken. But not one soul to answer from inside.

Judgement screams, alone.

Judgement Day was written by poet and politician Scarum of Pekoland near the end of the Second Era, during the final days of his period as Pekoland's Mayor. It references the popular Prophecy of Judgement Day, in which Yubicraft would suffer some undescribed cataclysm that would end all existence on the island and its culture. This poem showcases the pessimism of that era (a time of war, decline and uncertainty), implying Yubicraft would not survive to see Judgement Day at all, presenting the cataclism as a character who now finds itself the only resident of the nation.
