Life

Before creation

Darkness took me away from death. As i looked around i could not see him anymore. Remembering the sorrow he felt for me still shook my core.

I felt a faint shimmer though my whole being, darkness had taken me to his realm.

"You should never get close to that one. Its far to dangerous. Next time you could die" Darkness didnt seem angry, more relieved. His voice while deep and seemed to hold many layers was not scary but more comforting. Like a dozen people consoling you at the same time.

"What happened?" I asked hoping there might be some way to avoid it next time i try and speak to him.

"Your energies are the opposite of each other, simply getting close to him forced your aura's to fight each other. if you stayed to close for to long one or both of you would have died"

"But i need to speak with him, is there a way?" I asked in the hope there might be some way. Darkness is far older than me, perhaps he knows.

"No. What made you even try, your instincts should have told you not to. Why didnt you listen to them?" I could hear the confusion in his voices, i dont blame him.

"His eyes. I saw sorrow, guilt and pain. Why did he feel that when he saw me."

"Because he is death. And you are life. What you create he takes away" I had an idea what he was but does this mean he is responsible for taking my creations away? Shouldnt i hate him for that?

So why?

Why does my heart ache, why does the thought of him make my face feel warm?

Suddenly an idea struck me and i immediately got to work.

Death

Light had taken me to her realm, the warm glow that surrounded me helped little to the anguish i was feeling.

Love this novel? Read it on Royal Road to ensure the author gets credit.

"I hurt her" my voice barely above a whisper

"You did. I thought you were going to stay away from Life. What happened?" Light asked in a monotone voice.

"I didnt know she was there, and when i saw her i froze. You know how i feel about her. When she came towards me i tried to run but i couldnt move quick enough" The pain must have been evident in my voice, i felt Lights hand rest on my shoulder in an attempt to comfort me.

"You need to be more careful, next time we might not get there in time" Lights warning terrified me. I couldnt let her die. My entire existance is to take, but i refuse to take her life.

Even if it costs my own.

My rather grim thought were interupted by a blue shape. It was like nothing i had ever seen before.

Small, fluffy, four legs with two comically large ears on its head. I instantly knew it was one of her creations, i had taken something from her again, i knew she would be crying. The guilt came crashing back down as the small creature hopped its way over to me. Light simply watched as i picked up the fluffy thing.

But as soon as i touched it something different happened.

"Im sorry" a thought that was not my own popped into my mind.

What was that? thats never happened before.

It couldnt be.

Life!

She talked to me.

I could feel my cold dead heart warm at the realisation. I was so happy she had spoken to me, but why did she apologise, it wasnt her fault, im the one who hurt her.

"What is it?" Light asked, confused at my sudden silence.

"She spoke to me" If i could make expressions it would be one of pure joy.

But my heart still felt heavy at the idea that she apologised, i should be the one apologising not her. I should have stayed far away from her, i should have payed more attention where i was going, i should have moved faster, stoped the pain faster.

I could never blame her for anything.
