Parallel Descendants (myth)

The myth of the Parallel Descendants is a fringe belief held by the Milkwalker doomsday cult. It asserts that the "Parallel Descendants" are a group of prophesied "chosen ones" that are said to bring about a major cataclysmic change in the universe once all of them die.

The prophecy of the change of the universe (more commonly falsely translated as the end of the universe) has been passed down for centuries for various ancient texts and oral traditions. Interestingly, most cultures seem to have some form of the Parallel Descendant prophecy, even though their interpretations differ vastly.

Note left by editor (link: page://9Q8jTT4eSfTGHal7 text: powell) on 42-1421.87: How is it "falsely" translated? Who's the authority on this?

Despite the uncertainty surrounding the prophecy, many people throughout history have searched for the Parallel Descendants, hoping to find and protect them. Some have even claimed to be one of the chosen ones themselves, although these claims have proven to be false.

Due to the different cultures all synthesising their own specific version of the prophecy, it is difficult to find a commonly accepted "canon" version of the prophecy's content. The following is a translation of the Erisian version of the prophecy poem, as discovered on the Tablets of Truth in the caves of Tallis City in -241.

Life goes in cycles Like the ebb and flow of an infinite sea Beyond Sirius and the starry highways Stone spirals and copper coils in time The alchemy of the seven phases, secrets untold World, life, crystals, pain, loss, detachment, and revelation Patience under hot suns Nomadic symphonies, operas are grown Melodies of distant lands, lay waste to the unknown Compelling thе broken to heal and the hеalers to learn They were the last of the parallel descendants Beyond the stars, and the endless expanse they transcend Reborn into the alchemy of the seven phases World, life, death, pain, loss, detachment, and revelation Sirens of war slowly walking from the abyss Where heartbeats and bloodlines achieve the alchemy of seven phases World, life, change, pain, loss, detachment, and revelation
