Darkness

Darkness, the brother of Light

The opposite of that which brings life

But without one there cannot be the other

Darkness was once like Light

He was a gentle king who ruled his kingdom like a father

He was not a tyrant; he was a father to the people

He helped the needed

Assisted the unassistable

Healed the unhealable

Broke the unbreakable

But he died

He was killed

And now he wants revenge

The unvengeful became the avenger

He became that which people fear most

He became the monster under their beds

He became the dark side of their light filled minds

He became the demon that slept beneath their skin

He was fear itself

But even this did not stir his sister element Light

It didn’t stop her from helping

And now the two are in perfect balance.
