(A/N: referenced lyrics from "Simple and Clean" by Utada Hikaru!)
.
a whisper of a thread, melancholia a shining translucent web clinging to your fevered skin in a delirium of frost.
smile as threads of sunlight wash over your skin, a wash of golden warmth cascading over your shoulders, a dappled mantle of light and shadow.
firelight and shifting silhouette, a lantern flaring in what had been thought an eternal dusk. eyes luminescent, if only for a flicker of a moment, transient as ephemeral dandelion pods on the eternal wind, ancient as the ages.
amusement, swift as the dart of a cobra's tongue. as if.
as if the darkness could ever eclipse the light.
"light expire, and darkness prevail?"
just as the light would always cast sinister shadows, the darkest of nights could let shine the brightest of stars.
there is a light in her eyes burning so brightly, deep in her heart an eternal flame kindled by a passion bright enough to drown out the light of the burning stars.
a beacon in the all-encompassing darkness that had eclipsed the kingdom long ago, and had never taken its leave, a shade of lingering gloom, a harbinger of ill will.
she smiles, though, brighter than anything.
bright as the hope of tomorrow, a boundless future with endless potential, halycon as she would believe it would be.
and regardless of warnings, the future doesn't scare her at all.
(nothing's like before)
