15 Aug Trying Times

Wanderlust and the echoes that I have been running from so long are what lead me here. As I learn more and more about this place with each passing day, it has now more evident than ever that the darkness is growing even thicker, slowly encompassing the entirety of this place. In some strange way, I have began to feel comforted by the darkness that resides here; for in the knowing that I can no longer fight back, I know finding peace, or perhaps accepting my fate is the only way to deliverance. 

With all of this in mind and at heart, the one that I have found once again which seemingly grows weaker with every passing day, I know now that my attempts to rid myself of this place will not go in vain. For before my end, I know I must reach the threshold that I was once never able to reach, the one that lead me down the path of exile and various timelines. In a way, this is vengeance, but in another, it is addressing the echoes that torment me so.

For unlike the darkness, the echoes seek to put an end to my existence, trapping me for an eternity within fates I have created. Even now, as I begin to drift in and out of sleep once again, visions of what once was, and what once could have been stir with my mind seeking to sway me off the path that I have oathed to walk until the erasing of this time begins once again. And now during these times, I will stick to my oath, despite what darkness seeks to swallow me whole ahead. For out of all the promises that I have broken, this must be the one that I keep.
