Look upon the blighted Abyss, young flame. The beings that dwell there...creatures without hope...without a bond to hold on to. They have lost their way, but they survive. They only seek to feed off of the light of other beings, hoping to restoring themselves to light. It is futile. Once a soul has gone deep enough into the abyss, only beings with strong light and a true intent of retrieving that soul have a chance of bring them back. Few return from the Abyss once they've fallen so far. I would know...I fell that far at one point, but I was saved...by one of my close friends. She is more than I'll ever be. Now, look up. Peer upon the dawning sun. A symbol of hope for many. Something that many seek to become, pure. What fools. That is incomprehensible. No one will ever reach that level of light. It is the same as the abyss. When you get close to the sun...then you begin to burn. Traits that made you, love, compassion, sadness, grief, and happiness. They begin to burn away when you've come too close. You lose your grip on yourself in hope of becoming pure. I've seen too many fall to this. To feel is to live, life is not without grievance. What now, little one? I've shown you both, the all consuming blackness of the Abyss, and the blinding light of the Sun. Each has their monsters, they simply wear different masks. One cannot survive without the other. To be true, you must find balance. You must not succumb to just one...or you'll become consumed. If you are, you have near no chance of survival...unless you have someone to bring you back. I became a monster, a shell of what I was. I was taken by the dark. I lost my will to live. I don't know how she brought me back...but once I saw her again...she cried for me. What a monster I must have become in the dark. She embraced me, I began to cry. She went to such a distance...just to bring one person back. She wouldn't let me go. I didn't think I was worth that much to anyone. Don't forget that little one. Whether you burn to ash from the sun...or lose yourself to the Abyss. Someone will remember what you once were. They will not let you lose. They are more.
