It's about time I re-booted this, don't you think? Goodness, I've been trying to organize my thoughts into a single, worthy-of-my-time plot for quite awhile...

I think I've finally accomplished it. We'll see.


Light Beyond the Darkness

By: Lucas McDrake

Preface

At one point, I would have been able to tell you my name. Not only that, but I could have told you my hair color, age, likes, dislikes, height, weight, shirt size, pant size, where I lived, who I liked, what I wanted out of life...

But that was before. Now I'm someone else.

My long-lost objective got me into this mess. No, wait. Never blame others for the problems you got yourself into. Someone once told me that... Or did I tell someone else? Whatever the case, I wish I could step out of this mess.

Who I am changes everyday, depending on what I want to do. If there's someone I want to kill, I use my claws to effortlessly cease their heartbeat. If there's someone I want to hide from, I blink out of sight as they pass by. If there's someone I want to make go away, I get into their mind and bend their will.

Clues of my true identity tug and tear at the edge of my mind - beyond memory's pull, where I catch glimpses of Vex. He stands beyond the labyrinth of recollection. Sometimes, I find myself beyond it, too. And that's when I see him.

When I'm there, I see myself battling against him. He's my archenemy. I must fight. Otherwise, all those I learned to trust will be lost, and I'll have no one to turn to. The cycle of identity would continue forever, and I'd be lost in myself, and those that died.

But he's also my worst fear. I'm scared. Through the fear of being seen, I lose track of him. The cycle continues.

I must find a way out.


Btw, my beta, Wind Spark, is one of the awesomest people on the face of this planet - otherwise, this preface would make absolutely no sense, and I'd be hoarding too many of my secrets right from the start. A hoard of thanks to Wind Spark.

I'm curious. Who/what do you think Vex is? (AKA- Please review! I love getting feedback. :)
