In 3025, Earth was a wasteland of flesh and circuits, humans fused with machines. Thoth, ageless, tracked the tablet with Odin, his ravens circling.
“Ragnarök looms,” Odin growled, his spear blood-stained.

A kraken erupted from a steel sea, tentacles crushing hybrids. Reptilian aliens descended, their ship a dagger of shadow, claiming the tablet. Thoth battled—feathers against scales, stylus against claws—reclaiming it as the sky bled red. Odin fell, whispering, “Finish it.”

                    The Final Revelation

At the universe’s fraying edge, Thoth faced Vishnu, the tablet in his hands, stars dying around them.

“Why this endless chase?” Vishnu asked, his voice a cosmic tide.

Thoth’s hands trembled. “It’s blank. I wrote it all—gods, mortals, wars, love. It’s my mirror.”

The tablet shattered, revealing his reflection—not ibis, but human, weary, eternal. He crumbled to dust, whispering, “We were the story.”

But the dust stirred, reforming—Thoth reborn, the tablet whole, its surface pristine. He laughed, a sound of defiance and sorrow. “Again, then. Let’s see what we become.” The universe reset, infinite and unyielding, the scribe’s tale unwritten once more.
