Cast Shadows: The Rebirth

Rate this book
When Night leaves Darkness without knowing
And calls to the lights of the wood
Night will meet his closest, oldest, farthest, newest friend
Light
The two share the world
But once upon a time, millennia ago
Darkness was not satisfied, and wished to have that which was Light’s
So he strode up to Light and demanded it, not fully knowing what it was
Light, confused, refused, saying Darkness had enough, a fair share
Furious, Darkness raged, and his rage consumed the Land of Daenenrem
Darkness created Chaos
But Chaos, awed and terrified by Darkness’ rage, fled and disappeared
Light could not abide Darkness’ destruction, and so the two made War
War, ever the mediator in such disputes, brought them together again and again
Their battles swept up all and left naught but sorrow and destruction in their wake
Until finally, the two came face to face on the field for one last confrontation
War was not invited to this exchange
The Legends’ Clash
None know truly what happened, for to look on the fight meant death
No earthly creature can bear witness when legends do battle
In the end, Light was gone and Darkness remained
Now Darkness had what was Light’s
Darkness despaired, finally understanding that he’d lost what he truly needed
Darkness needed Light
The two were nothing without one another, and so Darkness was nothing
Darkness created nothing
Darkness had nothing
But Darkness met Truth and Truth gave Darkness Hope
Hope was like Light, and together Hope and Darkness found Light’s only remains
And Darkness entrusted some of those remains to Night
Eventually, Darkness knew, Night would be lost to Darkness
Night would be curious about Light and without realizing why, would seek Light
Light would be reborn
Balance would restore Light, but Balance would need help
Night would find Light, but neither would know
Light would find himself in Night, and would start to remember
But Darkness will try to get Night back by force of arms
Darkness will send Dragon, his most powerful avatar, to retrieve Night
Light will draw his sword, and in doing so will touch Balance
Then Night will finally know Light
Because Light is reborn
