//------------------------------// // To make way for light // Story: And a Being of Life // by RishnaLeDestroyer //------------------------------// He lay down to rest one final and last time. A pain within his heat and mind, an ache for more that would never be answered. A life not his but drive for him. A failure, forever. He would shut his eyes to not be opened ever again. He had done nothing, been nothing, seen nothing. He did not care. If all that was known was darkness what more could he share? And life was flushed out, and darkness brought in. The nightmare was ended, now the dream could begin. ~*~ All to be done was done. All to be seen was seen. All she could have been she had been. It was time to let go. If death would not have her, a rejection as she was, she could bring upon darkness and light shadows from above. She could pass on the dreams of the ones she did love. She could care, so she would not longer have to always trudge through despair. Darkness was all that was left to make way for the light that could save all the rest. She did shut her eyes that very day, and the sun did set, but was not risen again. There was no longer forever the pain, to bring down the hearts of all and keep them at the ground. Celestia had drawn the final breath from the world in which she rose above the rest. She now knew all, but nothing. The answer to a question never to be know. ~*~ Chains had been lifted, development begun. The silk that was a life had begun to be spun. She would rise to her greatness with the shadows cast down from above now lifted so freely she could soar. And like an eagle she did, grabbing greatness by the horns, and bringing to submission what was hers to rule. Her life was now hers and night did now reign. The torch had been passed, the time had began. A child for ever, no more. A ruler fair and was. Much had been learned, and much more there was still. Nothing could stop the train which was life for sometimes light must make way for the darkness. ~*~ When ages have been reached and mortality breached, it is time to let go and let the universe take its course. When old life is finished may new life begin and all that is darkness rise forth and be born.
