The End Is Nigh

How are we all?

Are we all nervous? Terrified, even? Are we all dreading December 21st, the last day on Earth as predicted by the Mayans? Although, as Jon Stewart pointed out on The Daily Show, the Mayans haven't exactly got the best track record as far as predicting the end of civilisations go... to wit, the Mayans...

But I digress.

So how will you be spending the last day on Earth? Will you be surrounded by loved ones? Will you be sobbing into a tub of ice cream? Will you, in fact, forget all about the end of the world because you still haven't got your Christmas shopping done?

Or will you be reading a very special end-of-the-world short story as posted on this very Blog- a short story that will ONLY be available on the 21st and 22nd before being taken down-  in which Skulduggery and Valkyrie track down the cause of the world's destruction and do their very best to avert it? A short story called "The Button"?

Hmm? Is THAT what you'll be doing?

Sorry I poofed. Had to go and put the books back on the bookshelf. It's annoying, spending ages taking them off the shelf only to have to spend ages putting them back on after the shelves've been painted.

Hey Derek, you might find it interesting that, because the Mayans didn't include leap years in their calanders, the world actually should have ended 13 months ago! :3

THE WORLD ENDED AND WE DIDN'T NOTICE?? O_O

Hey, we could all be ghosts. Living on a ghost world and commenting on a ghost blog and not realising we're dead.

Or I could be a ghost and imagining all of you. You could be imagining your own ghost worlds.

Emma said...

I'll be carrying out my life normally. Besides, if the Mayans were so good as predicting the future; they're still be Mayans.

Star Inkbright said...

But they never said the world would end on Friday. They just, for some unknown reason, stopped their calendar then.

Star Inkbright said...

ICH HASSE NOBODY BEING HERE.

Je le déteste.

Star Inkbright said...

HEY, HEY, WHAT'S THAT SOUND?
THAT'S THE SOUND OF NOBODY AROOOOUUUUUND!

Anders said...

it is indeed very possible I'll be doing the last one. that and studying for my math exams. which I failed. yeah. On the pluss side, the mayans didn't really predict the end of the world. then again, if you think about it, the mayans weeren't known for acurate predictions about the end of the world, so following that logic, the world WILL end. Oh. Well, then. Yeah.

Hi again!

But the thing is, I can't buy full albums, only the songs I know are CLEAN, because, as an 11 year old girl my parents would NOT appreciate it.

Anonymous said...

*laughs at glorious*

Star Inkbright said...

:/

Practically all the songs in the charts have swearing in them. Put it like that . . .

Judging from some of the music that has been in our cars at various long periods of time, I don't think my parents would care all that much what music I had on our iPod if I, like, HAD an iPod.

This is pretty ranom, but it's kind of hilarious how my brother and sister can sing along to these songs like Are You Mine by Lily Allen and not realise what they're about. And they know, like, all the words.

Like this happened once:

Brother: *listens to song* *is confused* So /I/ snuck off to /your/ bedroom?

Me: *thinking ohjustputasockinitwillya?*

Star Inkbright said...

There's a little old lady who was walking down the road she was struggling with bags from Tesco
There were people from the city having havin' lunch in the park I believe that is called al fresco
Then a kid comes along to offer a hand but before she has time to accept it
Hits her over her head doesn't care if she's dead coz he's got all her jewellery and wallet

You might laugh you might frown
Walkin' round London town
Sun is in the sky oh why oh why would I wanna be anywhere else?
Sun is in the sky out why oh why would I wanna be anywhere else

When I look with my eyes
Everythin' seems nice
But when you look twice
You can see it's all lies

*hums* I miss our old songs in the blue car. There's some I haven't heard in years.

If you're gonna play with fire then you're gonna get burnt
Don't test and me coz you'll get a rection
Another drink and I'm ready for action
I don't know who you think you are
But makin' people scared won't get you very far

You ACTUALLY have system?

Thinking about it . . . a system would be very hard. We're a big school. Like 2000 pupils. Sorting all them out would be . . . Blergh . . .

If we weren't all mixed up in different classes, then maybe, but sorting out all that . . .

About 2310 pupils, counting Sixth Form.

Not counting Sixth Form, only 1650.

Do you think the Mayans would be happy and proud about all us future people panicking about their calendar ending?

. . . Or do you just think they'd be irritated that they don't exist no more?

Star Inkbright said...

My thgeory is that they swiched around everyone's jobs, like they did with the Youth Service jobs in our area (my mum's a youth worker), and they didn't have enough people to spare some for making the calendar, so they just decided to leave it.

Darquesse Story
By Maralie Lily Charm


Maralie Lily Charm whimpered as a bolt of lightening struck a tree outside, causing it to crash down onto the mucky, boggy land. She clutched her pillow pet close to her chest and peeked outside the window, watching sorcerers run in all directions.

She ducked down as thunder sounded and she shuddered. Kestrel LeStarre, Maralie’s best friend and Administrator of the East Coast American Sanctuary, had gone out in the storm no less than 20 minutes ago and still had not returned. Maralie was growing more worried by the minute.

She placed her pillow pet on the ground (she had called it Kessie after her close friend) and ran over to her closet, picking out her favourite purple raincoat with the My Little Pony on it. She pulled on her purple and white polka-dot wellies and walked slowly and softly over to her bedroom door.

Maralie liked being in fashion almost as much as she liked My Little Pony.

There was a sudden lightening flash and Maralie cried out and hid behind the sofa. Maralie didn’t like lightening. Or thunder, for that matter. Her parents had died in a storm.

It was a very touchy subject for Maralie.

She scolded herself for not being braver and tied her hair up into a ponytail quickly. She swallowed nervously and pushed on her bedroom door carefully. It let out an unearthly glow, and opened slowly. Maralie took a deep breath and made her way into the hallway.

She took a long look at everything before she left. She knew this might be her last time in her home. She looked at the picture she had drawn of her and Kestrel a few years ago. It was framed and hanging on the wall. She looked at all the pictures of her and her friends. Her and Kestrel, her and Tanith Low, her and Ghastly Bespoke, her and Valkyrie Cain…

Maralie pushed her fringe out of her eyes and shook away the tears that threatened to fall.

Valkyrie Cain was Darquesse.

It was too big a secret to hide. Valkyrie couldn’t keep it hidden. Shame, now she had given in to Darquesse. She had let her take over.

Maralie took one step forward, then bolted to the front door. She yanked it open and pulled her hood up against the pouring rain.

She ran madly across the muddy field and looked around. Where were all the sorcerers? Maralie’s blood ran cold as she saw the amount of sorcerers on the ground. Dead. Her mouth opened slightly as her eyes adjusted to the light of the sun reflecting off the sorcerers’ armour.

Then she saw a sight that made her heart stop.

Kestrel.

Maralie let out a shriek as she stumbled over to Kestrel LeStarre’s lifeless body. Her katanas were beside her and her eyes were open. That was the worst part for Maralie.

Maralie fell to her knees as her brain tried to process everything.

Her best friend was dead.

Maralie reached into her pocket and pulled out a purple flower that she had picked the morning before, when everything was alright. Kestrel had liked the flower. Well, she had told Maralie she did anyway.

Maralie squeezed her eyes shut. When she opened them, she placed the flower on Kestrel’s chest.

“Goodbye Kessie,” she whispered.

There was another clap of thunder. Maralie looked up dully and her eyes widened as she saw Darquesse in front of her.

Maralie stood up shakily, her eyes meeting Darquesse’s. She remembered when those eyes belonged to Valkyrie Cain. But not anymore.

Maralie gasped as all her energy was drained out of her. Darquesse was gesturing with her hand. Maralie breathed out, and the air came out like steam. Her knees buckled and she fell, her hand reaching out to take Kestrel’s.

I wasn’t brave, was the last thing Maralie thought before her thoughts became fuzzy, and she was gone.

Maralie Lily Charm said...

Sad ending... dammit.

Wait, I must change to my other account.

Star Inkbright said...

HI IENI!

Sorry for my distance. I was quoting the Bible. *laughs*

Stupid BelieveTrustJesus2.

Ieni Strider (Ieni The Ninja Aeroplane, Eater of Fabi's armses) said...

I'm meh:) Well actually I was feeling rubbishy and now I'm feeling slightly more happily. (I wanted it to end with y, but happy already ends with y).
*Reads story*
Omg, yes. That is one depressing story. NO NO NO YOU AND KESTREL CAN'T DIE NO NO NO NO NO NO.
You were quoting the Bible?
I find the fact that people can actually believe in a God tha may or not be there, slightly amazing.

Unknown said...

*blinks at Ieni* Ieni, what the hell are you doing? You look like a diseased bunny. Don't... don't do that. Poor bunnies.

Star Inkbright said...

Someone on YouTube was calling people who listen to Disturbed satanists or whatever. Apperently he does it on like every video. I have joined the horde of angry people protesting that he's speaking rubbish.

IENIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII! *ninjaeroplanetacklehugs*

I'm a Christian. *smiles*

Unknown said...

OH MY GOD Star, I'M a Christian too! :D

YAY FOR STUFF.

Star Inkbright said...

If anybody wants to kill me off in a story, they can. I've been killed off once and I found it utterly hilarious.

Star Inkbright said...

YAY! *high-fives Mara*

Unknown said...

*kills Star*

THE END.

Ieni Strider (Ieni The Ninja Aeroplane, Eater of Fabi's armses) said...

Agh, no, my mum was telling me about laminate flooring AND I DON'T EVEN CARE!
I, uh...was a Christian. I kinda am, I just keep thinking 'So how the hell am I supposed to know which religion is the 'right' one?'
I WANNA DIE I WANNA DIE! PICK ME! KILL ME!

Unknown said...

*chases Ieni*

STOP SQUIRMING IT'S HARD TO MURDER YOU.

Unknown said...

Born in grief
Raised in hate
Helpless to defy his fate
Let him run
Let him live
But do not forget
what we cannot forgive

He is not one of us
He has never been one of us
He is not one of us
Not our kind

Someone once lied to us
Now we're not so blind
For we knew he would do
What he's done
And we know that he'll never
Be one of us


Best. Song. Ever.

THE END IS NEAR!

I can't wait to die!!!!!!

Minion said...

Come on ladies, one pound for fish, come on ladies, one pound for fish... :3

Minion said...

I don't think my last comment went on so... Yeah Derek did you know that the Mayan calendar didn't have leap years so the world should have ended 13 months ago....

Nixion Strange said...

Did you also know that the calender was meant to be redone every 13,000 years. So people think the calender is ending, but really it's just restarting again

Unknown said...

WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YAY SHORT STORY!!!!!!!!
And can I just say, I personally KNOW that the world is not going to end. I have way to much to do before I die. One of these VERY IMPORTANT things on the bucket list is to read ALL the Skulduggery Pleasant books! (Including the ones that haven't been written yet!!!!) So there, that is why the world is not going to end. So don't freak out people!!!! But Derek, still post that short story please! :P

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

FIRST

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

Yay! First!

I dedicate to Christmas time, because it's my favourite.

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

On the 22nd, all of us should pretend that the world was in a zombie apocalypse on the 21st, and everyone should have their own war stories and it should be in history books later on. And anyone who denies that it happened just had their memory wiped by the aliens.

Unknown said...

Oh, good God. It WORKED!!!!! THE COMMENT WORKED!!!!!!! (maniac laughter) I've been trying to comment for ages and just NOW it decides to work!!!!! My life is complete!!!!!!
In case people didn't notice, I like exclaimation marks. :P

Derek Landy, you already know this, but you are a god. Hopefully not like a Faceless One though, because I would be pretty depressed if you decided to kill us all, since then you would have no time to write. And that WOULD be tragic.
From your newest loyal minion.

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

Oh, yay! My sister took my damaged copy of the first book to her school librarian and got it fixed! Yaaaaaaaaaaaaay!


*hugs book*

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

Hello, Moody!

Nixion Strange said...

Val! I said before zombie apocalypse!
You agree with me!

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

I'm SO going to pretend there was a zombie apocalypse. And I'm going to write a bunch of reports on it, put it in a time capsule, and bury it. That way, in the future, when someone finds it they'll think there was an apocalypse.
