The glow had never sought to be the brightest, just to contribute to cleaning the darkness away. It wandered far and swept the dark away as it went. The glow had never seen any good in the dark, and simply considered cleansing it a deed that must be done. It had seen many faint glimmers in the dark, and yet had swept them away, as they were just parts of the dark that were cold and faint. The glow eventually reached a large cloud of darkness, that had been abandoned by another brighter light. The glow saw a glimmer in this darkness, one that was slowly fading. It had not been created with the light it had at the start, but had gained it from the leaving light. The glow pushed its way through to the glimmer, and gently warmed it from the distance until the glimmer ceased sobbing. The glimmer noticed the glow and felt startled, but then slowly began to dance closer to the glow. The glow gently touched the glimmer and although its darkness concerned the glow, the glimmer seemed to become slightly paler from the loving warmth the glow provided. It kept the glimmer close and warmed it slowly and carefully, until the glimmer started to shine. It had still the faint cold that the previous light had made it scared to get rid of, and yet the glimmer did not hide from the glow, and despite weeping when it discovered the glow's intention to clear away the glimmers darkness, it wiped its eyes and helped to delicately wipe away the darkness alongside the glow, their hands intertwined. The glow may have taken what the glimmer had held close before, but as the glimmer grew to trust the glow, it accepted this. The glow eventually tried to remove the darkness from the glimmer, the grey it had never let go. The glimmer recoiled and ran from the glow and its will, fearing it would be left like when the previous light had tried to remove the grey. The glimmer debated with itself over whether it could still be itself without the grey, but eventually decided to return to the glow. The glimmer sought the glow, and yet was still uncertain as to what would happen. The light it had been given had not left, and yet resonated loudly in the glimmer, and so rather than dancing and hoping, it ran to seek the glow with all its might, hoping one day they could clear the darkness together.
