The Fifth

by Dconstructed Reconstruct

Intro

There once was fire, ice, and light,
The heavens they did burn;
The Wheel of Time always changing,
Lest the days would never turn.

To the heavens you used to look,
To the starry sky, so full of life.
Yet with the younger's jealous spite
The elder sister was led to strife.

A new world born, another lost,
Blown, beaten, damned, and all.
But beneath the dark and nightly still
A little light will always fall.

Today you reach for skies and stars
And lest you miss the wayward cries
The Darkness here, that you have left
The Darkness never really dies.

I know not what led you here
To where you lie tonight
But this I promise—it's all I will or can—
I'll find a way to fix your plight.

I have to say, that is some quality setup. Starting it off thick and intruiging, with a definite layered feel to the story - of all the longform stuff I've read on the site, this has to be one of the freshest ways to kick it off that I've read before. It's almost cinematic in the authorial choices like the angles and the imagery. Looking forward to more.
