Beyond the darkness there will always be light. Day after day people suffer, and through that suffering they come to realize the cold truths of this world. Times and people change like the ripples on the surface of a pond, but their suffering will always be the same. A single accident or death may throw off one's total daily routine. The people around us suffer when we are suffering, the ripples too effect their lives.

I tried to become strong for those whom I loved, but was it enough? I took up the sword to fight for better freedoms and still my loved ones suffer. Still I cannot seem to protect them. I killed her with my own hands and no others know. What should I have done? I couldn't stop, the force of my weight cascaded me forward, not bothering to stop for the woman who protected me.

Beyond the darkness there will always be light...

But I cannot reach it.
