The Descent (A Kylo Ren Fanfic)

"The lines between good and evil used to be so clear," Ben whispered softly. "If you were on the good side you were the hero. If you were the villain you were evil. But lately, it's so confusing. Are the heroes really that good if they bleed? And are the villains really that evil if they make others bleed because they can't?"
Rey shook her head wordlessly, eyes darting across his face. "Ben..."
"The line is blurred, Rey. Either that, or I've already crossed it."

Sometimes the villains start out heroes.
Sometimes the ones so pure and good turn into hollow shells of who they once were.
And sometimes the fallen heroes drag people down to hell with them.

This is the story of Ben Solo, the man before the monster.
This is how it all began.
