1. In The Beginning, There Was A Void
In the beginning, there was a void.
A void in my heart, that is. It was a consuming void, pulling my being into its nothingness, trying to stop me from feeling anything. It was hard to resist; I tried to fight and get away from it, but it's nigh on impossible to get away from something that is you.
I wanted to be capable of love, to be able to care, but all I could feel was emptiness… Does that even count as feeling?
I couldn't tell you.
But I can tell you that it was you who changed that; you who brought love, and life and a deep, beautiful darkness into my heart.
Beautiful darkness… I suppose that isn't entirely accurate, as what you brought was not dark at all. It was… invisible, but it was very present. It filled up the void, though I still looked empty. It was just hard for me, you know, to express something I have never experienced before. But it was there now, and it was the strongest, most irresistible feeling I had ever experienced.
It combatted the void, pushing it back to the depths of my empty heart. And then you invaded, consuming me with love and hope, and I did seem to feel again.
I had been so lost since the end of the war.
But it was different now.
