Light.
Darkness.
Twilight.
wonk uoy naht niotceffa erom deen I
I was born from a being of light, one of the renowned seven.
She holds no darkness in her heart, though she does carry the love of a warrior of the light.
This love she returns in full to the warrior is unparalleled. It is enough to reach him in the depths of darkness and return him to the light.
I may be born from this denizen of light, but I carry no such power. I don't even have a heart to nurture such capabilities.
Only the ghostly touches of emotions that stir in my hallow chest.
wonk uoy naht niotceffa erom deen I
I was born from a selfless warrior, one who readily gave his heart in the name of love.
He holds great darkness in his heart, but keeps it at bay with the promise of protecting the light, a light personified in one person.
This light he protects is one of seven, though he would feel just as strongly if she was the only one. His heart is strong enough to shield hers from the darkness that yearns to claim it.
I may be born from this great hero, but I cannot protect anyone. I don't even have a heart to shelter another even if I wanted to.
Only the memories of his emotions make the delusion of a heartbeat pulse through my veins.
wonk uoy naht niotceffa erom deen I
Here in twilight is where I dwell.
I am born of a love nurtured by light as well as from the darkness that surrounds it.
My Other is someone of importance; without them, there is no balance between the two opposing realms that coexist in a never-ending battle.
I hold no such importance. I am a mere shadow to their existence, a Nobody, something that was never meant to be.
There is no heart to break with this fact, but it does not stop the pain it somehow feels.
I need more affection than you know
