The Slumbering Spirits
2. Light

Light was sharp. Like a torch cutting through the fog, a laser cutting through skin and flesh and bone. Light was sharp, but he was something soft and malleable under it, like metal to be moulded instead of splintering wood who could not take its touch. And that light could cut the chains of lies as well, the chains of silence and secrets and deceit. Could cut through anything except that which embraced it, which allowed themselves to be moulded by it. And it could cut a path to the future, and even for others to follow if they cared.
