A/N: Okay...so this first little...umm, thing is, what you may call, a sort of INTRODUCTION or, as I said when I named it, a PROLOGUE. The purpose of it is to let all of you know what exactly I'm chasing in this story and what I keep in mind while writing it. It may sound a bit pompous and hard to understand, but I really thought this should be said before posting an actual chapter. The first chapter will be out later today or early tomorrow. I really hope this small little intro will make you guys curious about what's going on in the story and I hope you'll enjoy the story overall because I'm very excited about it and I consider it a pretty promising idea!
It's said that when we are born we're afraid of the Darkness and later we're afraid of the Light…
When a new born child comes to this world, its parents do the best they can to keep them safe and away from any appeal of evil or sin. Though still, as the child grows, temptation grows with them. Even in the child's early infancy, they're dragged to danger, to evil, to sin…for, after all, it's part of being human. For example, when a child first discovers FIRE, he is fascinated, intrigued by it and craves to be closer to it, to touch it, to know it better, even if they sense its dangerous, overwhelming warmth. What is more, the more the parents warn their child and prevent them from getting closer to this FIRE, the more the craving of the infant grows. And in the end, they do not learn their lesson until their pretty little fingers get burnt.
But still, is the lesson completely learnt? Will the child never want to succumb to temptation ever again, even after he grows up? We all know the answer to that, for we all are slaves of human nature. Humanity is predisposed to weakness, to temptation, to curiosity and, ultimately, to FALL.
Through our adulthood we are once again tempted, but this time, the objects which cause this have deeper meanings, depending on who we are or who we think we are. Some are tempted by money, some by fame and some by lust. The weak ones, or maybe, just the curious ones, succumb to this call and the stronger, though a very small number, fight it back and win…and their souls are saved. But what happens to the ones who wouldn't fight back? Well…some, thankfully, find their way back to the light before the End, some die in the shadow of their own foolishness and naivety and others…others who open their eyes too late and watch as they fall, they simply lose their minds. They go mad. Though, this is just one way of gaining madness…
Naivety and weakness are typical for many, especially in their youth. Wisdom and power are rare, but usual among those who made it through the first half of their lives. Madness…madness has no age limit and the truth is that we are all predisposed to it, one way or another. Some have it thrust upon them at birth, waiting for the right moment to come out, and some, as I said earlier, gain it.
All in all, we can be sure of just one thing: Curiosity is mother of Evil, Evil is mother of Madness and Madness is like gravity…all it takes is a little PUSH.
