Demons

Nat's world is cruel.

He had come to accept that fact. It was cruel and dark and he couldn't change that. Then, he found 3 rays of light. They pierced that dark, cruel world and warmed him, making everything that had hurt something Nat loved. But then, those lights were snuffed out. Replaced by more darkness. The same lights that had warmed him had turned on him and turned into darkness.

He was done with this world. So he found a new one.

And this world...oh, this world. It was bright. And warm. And forgiving. This world warmed Nat in ways the old world never could have. But there was something wrong. An underlying darkness. One colder and more painful than the last. And it was growing.

No. This world wouldn't become lost to him as the last had. Nat would fight this darkness. He wouldn't run. He would protect his lights. He would not return to the dark. And so, the lonely boy that had run from the darkness, went to war.
