Shadows follow... A simple statement really. For its the truth. When light shines, what's left behind becomes a shadow. It's the area light doesn't reach. There are examples all around us of this. When the sun shines from the west, the east lives within its shadow absent of where light cannot yet go. When charity is given to one group, the resources can't be given to another leading to continued hunger. When one group becomes a victor in a war, the others are left in disrepair. When a life shines its brightest it usually shortly goes out after; and even if not them, then the other people that do similar things to them get overlooked forever in that person's shadow. For they were never as good. Shadows have truly always followed.
Still as shadows maybe we too want to show ourselves. To tell our side of the stories. Tired of being overlooked by the majority. That's why we wage battle with light. For only light seems to be remembered, and if it is then maybe we to can be by association. Maybe then something more would be born. Good can come from bad and bad can come from good. A premise once rested in individuals that believed in balance.
Looking down at my hands I felt my thoughts interrupted. What exactly was I? Staring at the solid black hands made of shadows I wondered. Was I human? Mentally? Spiritually in some way? Was I, something? I couldn't really remember my human name, but I could remember most moments of my life before this. Since, I could remember living as a being before. Now as one "Without a soul." Did I not truly exist, or did my new existence give birth to a new soul? maybe a restructuring of the essence of my old one. Were souls made of energy? Aura existed right? Maybe the soul was merely a type of energy.
Thoughts, Ideas, plagues on my mind. Each mention tore at my 'heart' and pained me in some way I didn't quite understand. I wasn't, a nobody! I couldn't be!
I remembered in those moments of though a game I used to love playing on Earth called Kingdom Hearts. Honestly some parts of it were fuzzy. Details obviously missing from me. Others however, remained clear. If I listen to what was said in the game and decide to unconditionally follow as it says. I should be primarily what was known as a Nobody, and that would also make sense with the memories I still seemed to possess of my first life. Still though, I felt there was something more. I felt I was also part Heartless. I felt a vague connection spread out around me across this place I found myself in. A connection to the shadows of this world.
It was here that a new gift manifested itself before me allowing me to better understand my situation.
