Write about somebody who was lost but then found their way.

Prompts: Night, Void, Eternity

Lost In The Darkness

He was drawn to darkness, the inky blue of the starry night sky

Standing proudly, above all those around him, He spread his wings, prepared to fly

He accepted this new challenge proudly and set to work right away

He did not for see that there should come the day

That he should fail, he did not think, where did he go wrong?

He could not have known that he was set to fail, it did not matter that he now belonged

For he was being punished for his fathers crimes

Whilst he sat away, rotting, in Azkaban, doing time

This hell he lived in for many months

Feeling the wrath of his master, he had given up

"Kill me now' he would cry as he writhed on the floor in pain

"I have nothing to live for in this blackened hell and endless shame"

Then came the day that hell broke loose

The battle commenced, bloody, vengeful and dangerous

A chill set in the air, a mist came creeping

All around him blackness, nothingness, here came the reaping

Parents weeping, children slain

The people were broken, fear had reigned

He watched blankly at the slayings from his zombie like state

a void within him had taken over trying to suffocate

but there she shone

One look at her and the terror was gone

The blackness descended, the world was glowing in her light

The bushy haired witch, beautiful, bold and bright

He knew he loved her and from that moment on

he fought for the right side until the battle was won.

The losses were heavy and the people in mourning

But he felt as if a new day was dawning

He wanted to have her and he would do all that he can

To prove to her he'd changed, he'd become a man

Of honor and of good, just for her

For she was his savior from this horror

The one who could guide him from bad to good

the one he had always misunderstood

Her courage and love would show him the way

His love for her grew everyday

For an eternity they lived like this

Until they both parted the world with a final kiss
