Light and Dark

The Start

Now mind you, the woman is well-known among the general crowd, and had long before given up on the idea of a man of her own. The Shadow was a stubborn, and hard-headed dominate man who tended to walk his own path. He was known to push others out of the way rather than lend them a hand. This woman was a “Walker of the Light” and she battled as well as healed. The Shadow was known to fade into dark corners and listen to all the things that went on in this land behind closed doors. Always quiet, and always thirsty for knowledge, he would creep through the lands, springing out and attacking people at random. Others were always cautious with him, because he talked often about voices inside his head. The mere thought of them having some connection besides in general, caused a stir far across the lands. An Emotional Storm was brewing that the people could see, much to their amusement, while the two did not.

Then one day, out of no particular timing, the End of the Beginning happened. The Shadow chased the Light, much as the Night chases the Sun, out of Loreroot, by the wishing well, through the gate leading to the dojo, and down into the tunnels beneath the Marble Dale Park. This was no chase of fun. Oh No. It was more in the way of a hunt. The Shadow right on the heels of Light as they traveled further and further down into the Darkness below. Thinking foolishly enough to hide from the Shadow, the woman hid in the corner of the Room Made of Doors. The Shadow instantly flew at the Light and pinned her against the wall. Grabbing her by the neck he picked the Light up and threatened to extinguish it. The Light in a clever rouse said “I submit!” The very thought of it disappointed the Shadow and he replied “Bah!! What fun is that?” Turning to leave; feeling as if there should have been more fight, the Light leaped upon his back. Surprised the Shadow turned only to be pushed by the Light down the stairs. The Light fled in the opposite direction into the Gazebo of Chaos.
