I first met death before the primordial of creation had made the worlds, light and darkness were hibernating to build their power for when the time comes for them both to spread their influence.

Me?

There was nothing for me to do, i couldnt make life when there was nowhere for it to go.

Surrounding me was simply nothing, no light, no darkness, no worlds or stars, just nothing.

You may not be able to comprehend what no light or darkness would look like but try and think of a dark room where you can still see everything, but there is no color. Not that there is anything here to see but i hope you understand.

I don't know how long i waited for the other primordials to finish their work but i was starting to get a little bored.

But out of the corner of my eye there i saw it, i didnt know what it was and i was certainly curious. It looked like a human but taller, with limbs that seemed a little too long, it wore a tattered cloak and moved like leaf on the wind.

At this point in time i knew i was a primordial of life and i had even practiced with my powers, but looking at this strange enchanting figure gave me a strange feeling.

It was almost like every fibre of my being was telling me that i should go near it that it was not like me, not at all. But i didnt understand why it was different.

The figure slowly turned towards me, it's face lacked any form, it was simple a mass of black swirling smoke but within the smoke i could see two small pearls of white light. As it's gaze fell upon me i could see within its eyes the same confusion that i had felt towards it, but as soon as i saw it, it was gone, replaced with emotions that i couldn't understand.

Suddenly a thought popped into my mind, this thing was not just different from me, it was the opposite of me.

It was death.

With this thought came so many confusing and conflicting thoughts.

I don't like it.

It's evil

It's cruel

I hate it

But why?

Why do i hate it? Why is it evil and cruel.

Why? Why do i see sadness in it's eyes. Why do i see fear? Why do i see pain and anguish?

It was then that i made up my mind.

I floated through the void of nothing towards this primordial of death, hoping to understand why? Why did it feel such things when it saw me while i felt nothing but hatred and anger.

As death saw me moving closer i could see the panic behind its two pearly white lights of it eyes. My confusion only grew as i saw such emotions.

Death tried to float away from me, as i came closer and closer i could feel my instincts telling me that i shouldn't be doing this, that it was not a friend that if i kept getting closer i could die.

I dont know how close i was but death suddenly bent over, like he was in pain. And then it struck me. A terrible pain throughout my whole being.

Primordials are always exuding an aura, or more accuratly their power is always bleeding off of them. This pain, this terrible pain was from our aura's coming into contact with eachother. The power we both hold was fighting each other, attempting to destroy each other.

I don't know how long we were in pain for but i can only remember as darkness pulled me away from death as light pulled death away from me.

I have no doubt you may be confused as to why darkness came for me and not death, but the answer is rather simple if you think about it.

All life begins in darkness, and all death ends in light.

As i looked around trying to recover from the pain of my foolishness i saw light floating next to death, his eyes me mine and what i saw moved me to my very core.

Sorrow.

Sorrow of an indescribable magnitude.

i couldn't understand it. Why is it feeling so much sorrow? But then it struck me.

It was for me. His sorrow was not for himself but for me. Even after i chased him despite seeing that he did not want me to come closer. Even after i made him go through so much pain he felt such sorrow for me.

I think that is when it started.

That was when i fell in love with him.
