A Twilight's Shadow

~PROLOGUE

"What is a shadow? It's what light makes...light makes shadows, and darkness lurks in the shadows that light makes. Without light, there would be no shadow. So is light bad because it makes darkness by creating shadows? No, it's simply the balance of their universe. They can't get rid of darkness. But they make light, so that darkness is repelled, and the light becomes a beacon for others who strive for light.

Does that mean light is a good thing? The light must be equal to the darkness. So, it makes bad things happen. How? Those who live in light, want light. They don't like being in the dark. They want to be as light as they can. But it's impossible to be all light...half of them is always going to be a shadow. So, they go closer to the light. But the closer they get, the bigger their shadows become. They are blinded by the light, unaware of the shadows that they are creating. The ones who make the light only sees the light side of them, but they cannot see the shadows behind those seeking light.

The darkness wants to extinguish the light, so they travel within the shadows the others make. Those seeking the light begin to surround the light, trying to become as pure as possible, only to be counterbalanced by their shadows. When they get close enough, the darkness then extinguishes the light.

What happens then? Most of them run in fear, because they are afraid of the dark. But those few who are most pure and strong, begin to fight off the darkness. But they cannot fight off darkness with their dark sides. So, they come together in unity and harmony, and shine the light sides to the darkness, repelling the darkness.

You know what this makes? A beacon of light, for those trapped in the darkness. Those who ran away begin to come towards the light once more, thus creating an endless cycle that powers the universe, and gives meaning to their lives. But they must find this out by themselves, and only then will they come together once more. The only problem is what happens during the time of darkness..."
