The Shadowed Impulse

Various feelings and tremblings have long since begun to make their way throughout my body. This occurrence has been ever so more apparent ever since the return of the legend, and it picks up more and more with each passing day. These feelings and tremblings are like something so familiar, but I can’t quite put my finger on it. While all of this is happening, I am more aware than ever that a war is quickly approaching, and violence will soon sweep it’s way across these lands once more, instead this time – I have been called to stand at the frontlines, called to partake in darker duty as these days grow closer and closer to ceasing to exist. 

The feeling that courses through my veins now in a way has a voice with it’s coursing, whispering to me to take the chance, to be born out of something I’ve seemed to have always known – though it is vague. I have been lead astray before, but with these days surely numbered before fates begin to settle in, I also know that the time remaining to partake on this course is scarce. I know that unlike the forces that lie in between, this will surely be a one way ticket, a one sided ticket to something I may deeply regret, but deep down inside – I know that it may be the only way. Deep down inside, I know this path has been calling and yearning for me ever since the exile.

In these last moments before I choose what to embrace, I know that surely much will break once a choice in made, and one way or another more cycles that have been formed throughout the Advent will begin to shatter, setting my lines astray once more, but perhaps this is what I’ve needed all along, what I’ve needed for higher forces to witness me once again. This knowing, this calling, this feeling, this impulse like I’ve never felt before is growing stronger with every moment, and I am beginning to feel more and more distant from the person I used to know the longer my mind drifts towards this path. For in this moment things are getting dangerous once again, and my desperation has reached a new height. So it is with this that I must make a much darker leap of faith, take on a much darker dream, and fulfill the desires and longings of a much darker knight.
