It is in the darkest times that the brightest light is the most noticeable. For the light shone out of the darkness, and the darkness comprehended it not.
He stepped forward. "My lord. The empire is ours. We have won the people to the Dark."
"No," said the dark. "We have the empire. Not the people."
"But are they not the same?"
"While the Light marches in the streets? When it protests our rule? While the Light lives on, we have not won. But... we are close."
Keep the light
Keep the light alive
We live and die for the Light
We will not fall
Yet
I cannot fight the Dark. I cannot win this battle against the forces of evil and destruction.
I cannot. They are too strong. Too many. I am weak and imperfect. My body will turn against me as I fight against the waves and the riptide will wash me into the black void. My eyes are weak, my arms are weary, my mind cannot handle the horror.
I cannot fight the Dark.
But We can.
