This war is on-going and while it is true, my blade and sword alike remain active for the side of shadows- I have regardless begun to grow weary of it all. For die by day and even during each passing hour, I can feel the cold begin to settle in, along with a new darkness that puts my title of warrior of shadows to shame. This darkness is far off in sight, but has brought upon it’s precursor. A beckoning planet of both light and dark that is said to house the forces which we are all fighting for, the forces we have been slaving for all along. I am no fool to the opposing force that is at hand right now in this moment, the echoes with shadows seek to devour all that is, but with echoes now in this moment, consuming – I cannot yet afford to fade away.
With each passing moment, the air grows more and more thick, hard to grasp, hard to breathe – with the stench of decay and rotting corpses at the forefront. Blood spills around every corner here, and it has become the very norm to see lights leave the eyes of beings, who like me, have taken up the mantle of shadows in hopes of finding their place in all of this – but to no avail. Despite the countless lives lost, both those that I have taken, and those that have been taken from me – I can feel a void growing stronger, and a force growing nearer, I can feel the changing of the tides as this moon beckons from above – it’s beams now providing me light, revealing the lines that remain across the skies.
I know that surely, this conflict cannot last forever, for our forces are dwindling and our hearts grow more and more tired. For despite the consultation, and despite the solace and peace we seek from deep down inside of ourselves, this war as a whole shall not offer any of it, and with the violence spreading across this vast and seemingly infinite space with each passing moment – it would seem that we are all but safe from this coming tragedy. I am now laying more sword down in hopes that this force that beckons above can speak wisdom to me in terms of what may follow. For I too, am now lost in all of this, and while I will still fight with the remaining ounce of strength that exists within me, I know all to well that I am no match for what is coming.
