Shadow Light

There are moments in life when everything around you slows and you begin to get a feeling in air, your mind begins to spin a tale thats greater than what you see before you, it tuants with the answer you've been searching for only to snare it away when you are but another moment from seeing it all. In these moments and many others like it bring you close to what is truly happening around you, what the world is doing as a whole not only what its doing around you. A small glimpse into what the world either could or should be, a small spark that ignites a fantasy born out of the tales we all heard as children, or a fear come to life that takes your mind thru the darkest of secrets we hide from the rest of the world....

Chapter 1
"My life is a nightmare, its is every dark tale you ever heard while huddling scared around a camp fire. The demons seek me here in these dark moments always ready to take from me the hope of another dream, afraid of what might come if ever I was able to stand against them. But there is also in my life a great fire that burns far too bright for the demons to come, in these dreams I can hide for a time and gather my strength to face the moment when the light fades stealing from me the safety of friendship and love."

Light came in across the fields to the west, the grass standing tall with shadows cast across the world in great mountains, waving....dancing to the silent screams that echoed in my soul. The tree line in the distance showed me shadows that moved with great haste to destroy the light I craved. The shadows moaned in anticipation as they moved amongst the trees, but deeper almost too deep for the outlines to be made out stood a man who did not move, he stood with unrelenting patience that saw his stare bore deep into me and create the fear that consumes my every thought.
We know eachother well he and I, sister and brother, father and mother, the light and the dark, tho he cannot enter my world of light I stand here watching my world fade as his strength grew. His name is known to all the forms of light Mej'ra or as he would prefer to be called by all as Shadow Cast, he is the trickle of fear you feel at night as you lie alone in the darkness he is the shadow that you tell yourself doesnt exist.
They talk of him often in the light and say that there was a time when the world was woken in light that it was never dark, it is said that in that time the world was bright with passion and an unshakable stregth gripped the world allowing the light to flourish. The fear of the world had not yet come to pass and as such the magic of the world began to be used for more and more dangerous things. In the beggining the magic was used to create great works of art and to bring the imagination of the light to life in ways that noone could accomplish without magic. Every step they took taking them into the unknown, giving annomoly's to the world for it to play with as it please to bend and form the magic into something new tho they never knew what could come from it. The first thing that is written in the stories of light is a warning that came from the first of the falls, the warning reads. "Life is precious, it is not a gift given freely, death is the cost."
