It's amazing. How such a simple word can be the ruling force of life...and un-life.

How a boy, born to light, is drawn to the dark to fight for what he sees as right. Focusing on all he has and seeking his own harmony. Learning to overcome and press on for his goal.

How his counter, left in darkness, runs from all he has surrounding him, wrapping himself in a bright comfort. After standing what he can, he runs. Runs. Fears. He hides from what he knows and wishes for a solution.

One of courage, sometimes without mind. Forcing on to achieve what was lost. One of strength, sometimes without resolve. Hoping against hope his former unknown glory would return.

When coupled, a whole. Not of one. Not of the other. Complete sanctity in their stability.

Yes, balance is a true driving force.
