Origins
The influence of light washed over the world with comfort and warmth. People may not realize how they longed to be touched by the light. And her reach touched and graced every corner of the world she was able. There was nothing to fear while in the light, shining in the darkest of places to feel secure. Nothing could harm you in the light. You were safe and well cared for. It was warm, bright, colorful. She was everything they needed without realizing how strong a need they had for Light. It was when the sun painted the skies in the dawn her presence was accepted and remained throughout the whole day.
Where the light couldn’t reach was swallowed by her brother Darkness.
The presence of the dark disturbed the souls of many. No matter how brave they felt, everyone feared the dark. Coming waves of night brought forth trepidation, a timidity sensation to send the heart racing. Within the dark mystery remained, fear governed emotion, never knowing what lurked around the corners or where the eyes were unable to see. It was black, cold, and unforgiving. In the absence of light, only darkness is left.
And the boldness of Darkness grew as the centuries passed. Craving for power and dominance. He initiated a plan to lure his younger sister. Not even Light could have guessed what awaited her before it was too late.
The world would never know the death of Light by the hands of Darkness. Not even as he stooped over her bloodied form, her head resting in the crook of his arm. He swept his hand across her forehead, removing stray strands of her hair and whispered: “Good night, sweet sister. No more lights for you.”
Not even as her death ushered in a new era in what would historically become known as the Dark Ages.
