I am the spirit of light. I have been chosen to take care of those who have survived the apocalypse. My brother, on the other hand, rules the shadow realm. His people and my people go everywhere together. The only thing that separates them is the curtain between the realm of light and shadow. A curtain so powerful, that not even the apocalypse could destroy it. I have heard of legends saying that there once was a portal that connected the two realms together but I havent seen any signs of evidence.

To be honest, I really do miss my brother. If only that portal were around, the two of us would be able to meet again and our people would finally get to be together. I wonder if he still thinks about me and all the good times we had together before the war began. We both worked together to try and save our parents from the war. We tried so hard but it was no use. Before we knew it, they were taken away and were never seen ever again.

Though I still remember a story that mom used to tell my brother and I. She said that the Gods have placed that curtain for a reason. If that curtain were to never exist then the two realms would collide and form a strange kind of atmosphere - a mixture of light and shadow otherwise known as Twilight.. And since light and shadow don't mix, all the living people and animals would turn into ghostlike creatures called wisps. They would loose their souls and would remain forgotten, and alone. Maybe that portal really was meant to be destroyed. Maybe me and my brother were meant to be separated.
