The End of the World

“The world is ending.” said the Prophet, observing the princess kicking herself repeatedly in the face.
“You think everything means the world is ending.” said Sienna mildly.
“That’s because it is, and it does.” the Prophet looked put out.
“Every Prophet for a thousand years has predicted the end of the world.” I said.  “What makes you so lucky?”  The princess stopped kicking.
“What if the world actually is ending?” Sienna looked at me.
“We’d save the princess.”
“Why?” asked the prophet.  We looked at him.  He changed tactics.  “How?”
“I’m not sure.” I said. “Wait for the wizard, I suppose.”
