Dawn and Dusk

Life is filled with contradictions....one of the most important one that exists till today...is the contradictory nature of light and dark..keep reading to see how the story unfolds.

I am the ruler of darkness. The immortal source of power for my kingdom...

As darkness run through my veins, I am supposed to despise light, I am expected to conquer the kingdom of phoenixes and make it ours. I am supposed to take cold revenge against the current ruler for what his preceder did to the royal family...my family...my mom and dad. He martyred them. He killed them mercilessly because light is considered to be more powerful, well my parents were no less. The then ruler of light did so because my parents raged war on them first.

If  I am supposed to hate light light so much...then why do I like it so much?

Aren't we equal?

Can we not live without either one having to cease to exist?

Can we not find a balance?

These questions run through my mind over a million times...eating me alive.

How am I 'supposed' to do these things to them...when I was falling in love...with him...with the light..and with everything about his world that was so different form mine.

I didn't want this...I didn't want the world to be like this.

The war between light and darkness to see who was more worthy of prevailing had to stop.

But how?...I have been waiting 150 years to find the answer to that question.

150 years of wondering if he felt the same way about me...to see if he too wanted the world that I dreamt about. A world where the people would finally accept that neither one of the powers are worthier...that we are equal...that we can find a balance...and co-exist together peacefully.

This was my lesson number two: Life is filled with contradictions. It is how well you manage to balance all of them and still succeed that determines the quality of your life.

But such a world was not possible...

Lovely Ria, I loved the way you set up the story, to the point and very exciting and interesting.... The moral of the story is quite beautiful and strong... As I mentioned in the earlier story you have great storytelling style and this is no different...

Note: in the line "The then ruler of light" I think it reads bit out of order if I'm not wrong... Give it another read...

Sincerely
Dhiman
