I'm going with the evil side not being evil so much as unchecked imuples.
Inspired from the lines "Like the moon an enigma, lost in alone in the night. Damned by some heavenly stigma but blazing with light" "Tonight I'll plunder heaven blind, steal from all the gods. Tonight I'll take from all mankind conqueror all the odds." "Predators live by the pray they pursue this time the predators me!" from the song alive and the entirety of confrontation both from jekyll and hyde the musical. LISTEN TO THEM
Once, there was a horrid king, who said all those with magic were vile and evil, monsters.
Once there was a scared, kind hearted boy who, no matter the assurances, could not convince himself that he wasn't a monster for how he was born.
So he used that which he so hated to try to banish all the worst of himself from himself.
But instead of it leaving him for good, he bent over in pain, pale and shaking, screaming until it was over, and suddenly there before him in the mirror….
Emerys smiled wickedly.
This was going to be so much fun.
