31 Oct Life/Death ~ Into the Shadows

Oh no, the danger and the violence that has begun to rage here is of some sinister capacity; it is much stronger than anything I have ever imagined, pulling and tugging at me with all it’s might. For the forces that lie in each direction seek to claim me as their own, as the echoes, which are also closing have begun to creep faster – leaving me with little time to move. The lies that I have once told myself have all begun to add up, and in this very moment my penance has begun. No more shall I ignore my inevitable Fate that is to come, the fate that is still blurry, yet glimmering in the far distance. It calls to me, beckons to me, while other forces from all around seek to show me something of even greater importance. 

The thickened veil that lies above me which shelters this ever-expanding place is a place that seems to contain all. For I have been told that what it hides is not only the greatest evils and lies, but also the wisest of answers. However, to court this force is to simply court war, all at the risk of not receiving what you seek. It is now that I am more conflicted than I have ever been, but I know that my options are running thin.  For soon, the echoes and darkness will clash, with me in the between – I can only fathom then what will then take place. For to join this mysterious force would be to destroy all that I have built, all that I am as if the past eras had not even existed, up until the exile. Are such answers and directions truly worth the risk? The cold that creeps here speaks words of destiny to me, they whispers that soon a change is afoot and nothing in my remaining dwindling strength will stop it.

My efforts to rise into this will be my last, for as long as no new life is being breathed into me. For as long as I am there, my destiny remains unchanged, my efforts remain unchanged, and those who once stood by my said left dead, in vein, at the bottom of some treacherous seas. For the fight that is likely to take place from inside if veil will run this heart of mine dry, weary, and useless in the end. While I know not what lies ahead following this, the last hope and faith that I hold is being used up now. And so I now I rise slowly above, into the thicket of darkness that shrouds this ever-expanding place – for now, just as shadows have risen, so must I.
