I've never been afraid of the darkness. Not the darkness of the night, with the wind on my face. Not with the Moon in the sky, draping the clouds in an endless embrace. The cold is only a side effect of the darkness. The cold is never an issue, no. The kind of darkness that wraps around your soul, and drags it's razor claws down your spine. Where nothing can penetrate the endless feeling of being watched, but not knowing where it's coming from. That is the darkness I fear. It wakes me up at night, ravaging my brain and petrifying me to the point where I can no longer breathe. Am I insane? Am I finally losing my sanity? Will I turn out to be exactly what my Kingdom accuses me of being? A cold hearted soulless Prince? Have I already become what I fear?
