Realization

I slowly grew back to conscience and my eyes fluttered open to see worried but proud faces I remembered from my memory. My parents. Wait my parents? And I knew my name- Ash. Then a sudden realization flooded over me. Those memories they weren't the past they were the future- my future, and the darkness, I had just defeated it. Then my peace disappeared in a flash. Never resting, never stopping, never ceasing. The legends said this pattern always happened and the darkness, chased its overcomer until it weakened.

The first memory a truth of my reality. The second a warning. The third the reason. "I must go!' I cried "I must! I must!" I was danger and death to my people, a young seal in front of a shark. I wrestled I kicked and I ran. I ran. I ran. I ran. I couldn't let my people die so I ran. Never stopping, never resting, never ceasing.

My people didn't understand why my people didn't know the sacrifice I had just made to save them. They didn't know anything except that they had me back after so many losses and now they didn't. I was just another loss to them. I loved them so much that I wished I could turn back and explain everything but I knew they wouldn't understand for they had had too many losses to understand. Because of the darkness I. would never. Be. Safe. run. The story of my life. I hated it but I couldn't change it so I had to become it. Maybe if I did it wouldn't be so bad.I slowly grew back to conscience and my eyes fluttered open to see worried but proud faces I remembered from my memory. My parents. Wait my parents?
