Prologue
Hope, love, and faith. These three things are the building blocks that keep one's spirit alive, though love being the most important of them all; without love, one could not hope to love, nor could one remain faithfully in love. For one without these three virtues should find themselves swathed in shadows, completely eclipsed, and devoured up until every last bit of thier humanity is forever lost...
The spirit of humankind is like a candle, searching all inward parts of one's self. Without the kindle of the three building blocks, one's flame cannot thrive, and will ultimately die. This is why the darkness seeks out the hopefull, the faithfull, and the kind-hearted. It knows of their weakness, and will try to shut it away forever, and claim victims to join its midst-trophies of a sort that help the darkness grow, and grow, and grow...
If one is to keep their face towards their light, they shall never know of the temptations which the shadows bear. However, such ignorance is but an addition to their weakness, or an even greater weakness all-together. If one strengthens their heart by tempering it with hope, and faith, then they shall know of a love that will know no bounds-a limitless love that shall radiate from their soul, and keep the darkness at bay...
However, darkness may come in bolder forms, and will attempt to cut us off from this light we try to achive. There will come a time when there is no option but to plunge into the depths of the shadows, and try to uncover the light-dare to reach your hand into the darkness, so that you may pull another into the light. This is a time of great trials, and tribulations; seemingly unending conflict within one's self, or out, or even sometimes both. Do not forget about the three virtues you hold dear...
The light you shine will by a light that will kindle the flames of the hearts of the masses, and with this light you give, others will gladly share back with you in return. There is no undying light, for even when in the deepest pits of sorrow and dispair, light will always find a way to pierce through teh veil, and shine with its upmost intensity.One thing that always stands out is that at the bottom of the abyss comes the voice of salvation. The black moment is the moment when the real message of transformation is going to come. At the darkest moment comes the light...
The strongest light is born of the darkness, so the faith, love, and hope that springs forth from the conflict is the best. If you hold strong to the virtues you hold dear, you will prevail over your darkness, and will be known to all as triumphant. So fear not, worry not, and scorn not, for you will become the greatest weapon against the darkness that man has ever seen...
Though think not little of your trials, and your tribulations, for the closer you come to your light, the greater your shadow becomes.
