The color has faded out of the sky. It is grey, becoming darker as the world turns herself round a little more. The clouds are long and black and ragged, like the wings of stormbattered dragons.

About This Quote

When you see the color of the sky fade, it means that the world is about to end. And the world will end in a huge ice age, like what happened at the end of the last ice age.The atmosphere is no longer able to hold up the clouds, which are now made out of water vapour, and they used to make up most of the world's atmosphere. The world has now turned itself round a little more, and it is getting colder.
