The Essence of Existence

Darkness

What is darkness?

It is evil, it is bad. No! Not that.

Darkness is more primal, darkness has no alignment, it does not choose a side.

Darkness is a refuge, a sanctuary sought by those who wish to not be sought themselves.

Yet darkness gives all contrast; without darkness, there can be no light. Darkness is the friend of all things bright and shining, for without the dark, the bright and glorious are indistinct from each other and useless. Darkness is the nothingness against which all that ‘is’ can be seen. Darkness is the canvas of creation. It is the light that is evil and bad, but light is also good and righteous. For light is merely existence, the paint against the canvas that is darkness.

Author's Note:

This one is about Luna, or more specifically the general misunderstanding of the nature of darkness; which she represents.
