Light and Dark

A Cry For Help

A breeze blew strongly up the stairs as the essence of Earth Mother entered into the dark and dreary part of the world. “What have you done child?” the vice whispered. , “No time to explain….what must I do, he’s dying!” wailed the woman. “The Light can not exist without the Dark, My Daughter.” the voice said. “They must have each other to balance each other.” said the breeze cryptically. “You have acted foolishly, and I cannot help you. You must figure this out for yourself.” the breeze whispered as Earth Mother retreated to leave Fate to decide itself. The Light looked at the Shadow, who began to dissipate and fall apart, and realized she could do only one thing. “I must extinguish the Light within me and breathe the Darkness back into him.” “I summon the Light within!” she shouted as her eyes began turned to Light. “I release the light within! I invoke the Darkness around me! I invite the Darkness within me!” The woman’s eyes began to swirl with a mixture of light and darkness far blacker than any seen in the tunnels below. Shouting one final time, “I extinguish the Light within!” With those final words she kissed the Shadow and blew a breath of Darkness back into him, clutching him tightly to her.
