"Shades of Twilight"
by Mase992
I never really liked sunsets.
But, there were times when I did, like my friends and the rest of the people from Ordon, and I enjoyed watching how the sky changed colors. The diverse and melancholic shades of the clouds made me feel well at times when I was troubled. Maybe that was the only thing that eased me, while knowing that in only a few minutes the world would be plunged into the night. And that dusk was only a fleeting moment in which we laid in the brink of day and night; light and darkness. And speaking of darkness... I've always feared it. I don't really know why but when I find myself in a dark, lonely place, it feels as if air was kicked out of me and then this claustrophobic sensation just takes over my body. After that, I just want to escape.
And, on the contrary of common belief here in town, night's skies are not pretty. It is lame, for it is neither polished as day's blue nor attractive as the hour of twilight.
And when knowing that in due time the sun will hide in between the hues of orange and peach, calling for a not-so-silent blackness, I lay motionless watching the sunset.
I whisper to myself.
"Something so beautiful and at the same time so hurtful..."
And that's when I start wondering why. Why is it that something so pure and dazzling can suddenly take a turn for the worse and grow malign? Is the twilight perhaps a herald of nearing disgraces? Does it actually call for the eternal darkness of nightfall? Or is it only the representation of tranquility shown through perpetual colors mimicking the shades of the sun? And...isn't it just a moment of the day?
I sigh with exhaustion for I know what it really is. It is something beyond the setting sun and the lights and shadows. It's a reflection of what's to come and I can feel it. Somehow, I can feel the unease within the twilight; it is truly only a blanket covering evil with its oranges and peaches. It hides black.
Something bad's going to happen...
