Within the Darkness Comes Warmth

It was cold. It was always cold. You could never feed the hunger inside of you - the hunger that craved warmth.

Each unique snowflake fell onto the floor one after the other l, freezing the material solid. A sheet of ice blanketed the floor making it so you could easily ice skate from one side of the island to the other. The wind blew the snow across the ice which added to the cold temperature of the building.

For a minute you sense a presence - another being. However, you turn the corner just to see it was your brother, soullessly hovering over the body of a corpse that was gone a skeleton years ago.

The human was gone now too, left behind was only his secrets, bones, and the yellow left eye patch he stole from one of the other humans you helped him kill. He also left the weird human-like sea creatures behind but they didn't have souls, to begin with, they were just lifeless corpses.

You almost run out of hope to ever be warm again when more humans come. The humans shine their white lights which blind you and makes you retreat for a while, hibernating in the darkest corner of the night.

After a while, though the lights vanished and upon investigation, you realize that your home has been completely remodeled. It confuses you why the humans chose now to come after all the years they would just pass and overlook it. The humans with the light had destroyed everything the first human had done - gone was the filthy warn down building and left was a regal palace. The walls were no longer falling down due to the light hitting them, there was a rooftop on the building and there was no more snow. Most importantly, there were still humans.

As per destiny, you learn quickly that the humans who are left behind can't make the white light which gives you full rein to get your warmth out of their mouths. It was like a simple winter wonderland for you and your brothers because as the darkness was still present, you could now get warm and you were no longer hungry just leaving the humans with their blank soulless expressions.
