Humans fear the dark, but what happens for those who seek it...?
BEYOND
I seek the dark
That they all fear
But one must search
One must find the dark
To explore it
It shall be me
Or perhaps
An Expeditioner
One who must explore
Beyond us
I shall find it
I shall find the darkness
Who we all fear
So I’ll go
Beyond
Into the Outer Zone
Where no one’s been before
I’ll walk and walk
All alone
Til’ _she_ comes upon me
She’s Rayzea
Red hair
Slim figure
A common
Like me
One of the Seekers
Who seek the darkness
One who isn’t scared of it
We walk and walk
And talk and talk
Into the unknown
Not knowing what to expect
Til’ _he_ comes upon us
He is Aizrai
Dark eyes
He looks tough
A Drifter
We all walk and walk
And talk and talk
Til’ we see it
The dark
Standing in front of us
There’s people covering it
Vanguards
Seekers like us
And Sentries
We sneak
Into the dark
Only to be blinded by it
I see nothing
Yet continue
Into the dark
A hand on my shoulder
Whose hand?
Rayzea’s?
Aizrai’s?
Or a Hidden’s?
I ran
Farther towards the dark
Rayzea’s scream pierced the air
Cracked the dark
A sliver of light became
Her scream got cut off
And she was gone…
I’d lost Aizrai
He’d lost me
I followed the sliver
From Rayzea’s shriek
And I began to see again
But differently
I saw color
Something I’ve never seen
Ever
And there it was
A Hidden
Staring into my soul
I held my hand out
To touch it
But it ran
Faster than anything I’ve seen
Aizrai
Where was he?
I searched and searched
Only to find his food pack
On the blue rock
Tears fell
I was alone
Again
There was no escape
Or was there?
Brightness came inside
And filled my soul
A group
They found me
They took me
To save me
From dark
I made it out
Alive
