A/N: For those who know me, I am currently working on a thing that will take some time to be done, but I'll start on an easier thing soon, so I should have a new fanfic up in a little while. If you want to speed things up, vote on my profile for what thing I should work on first.
This is just a little thing I came up with while trying to fall asleep the other night.
Tyrant, Villain, Dark Lord. I am known as many things, but sometimes, I am not sure if they are accurate. Am I truly dark? I want the world for myself, I lie and deceive to get it, but I love and care with my heart when I should not have one. I hate being evil, yet I relish in what events take place as an effect of my evil deeds. Everything feels wrong; when I want to be good, when I want to be evil, nothing seems right. But I've been evil for so long, it must be my destiny. To rule the world with an iron fist, to recreate all of Ninjago in the image of darkness. Now I am not so sure, now I have shown weakness, giving mercy to my son who I know will destroy me in the end. But I can't bring myself to even think of hurting him. It is strange, and I can remember only one other time that this has happened. It was a long time ago, but . . . I'd never forget her. She's the only thing I've cared about in such a long time. It's been years since I've seen her, but I couldn't forget. She was beautiful and strong, radiant as the sun. She seemed to wipe the darkness from me, being the only one who could see me as a victim of collateral damage, instead of as a dictator of darkness. So now, I don't know what to feel. I love both of them; I feel like I shouldn't but I've learned that love can't just be denied. So what do I do? I could bring them to my side, but that seems impossible. She's never agreed with my beliefs, always trying to sway me, and he is too far on the side of good. I wonder if I might change someday, but over the years, that has proven hopeless. I struggle with this often now, and I can't help but wondering—where do I really stand?
