Author's Notes: this is my first Drom fic so please R&R, thx.
There's a centrifugal force that intertwines the universe called the Sacred Balance. This balance is roughly based on the thesis that each course of action may change the possible outcome, much like a raindrop hitting the calm waters - each drop a decision, with each ripple the possibilities expanding with time. As the ripples travel, the wider the amount of possibilities become.
This knowledge is the burden that weighs heavily on my heart and soul. It is the basis in which I make most of my decisions. This epiphany did not come easily to me. It took many, many wrong turns and ill-fated decisions. For most, such knowledge could take lifetimes. Over the years, through the harsh realities and the painful moments, I learned. Gradually I became aware of the universe around me. Not to say that when I was younger I didn't have a grasp on things, I did, but I was naïve and childish.
The full extent to which I'm privileged now was never even an afterthought then. I was brash and unwilling to see what was truly there. I never wanted to believe; never wanted to admit that things weren't always perfect. I clung to the ideal that all people, all things, were capable of good.
When I think back to those moments in time, when I was so blind, I find myself confused by emotions. I long for those moments yet at the same time I loath them. They are the reason things are so off balance.
It shouldn't be like this. There shouldn't be so much pain and suffering. The people I once cared for deeply and called family should be here now. In some place, deep inside, I do wish I was still so naïve. That it didn't hurt so much. Yet even deeper I know that my immaturity was what caused the havoc that drowned us all into desolation.
It's with this knowledge that I now try to right the wrongs I've done. I'm going to fix things no matter what the cost.
The end.
I may or may not extend this into a longer fic. I guess it all depends on you guys lol.
