A Book of Sorrow

What is this violent ritual? These tales of suffering, where all ends in a feast of maggots and rot laid on a wormwood table for gods to feast on misery? But is not the Light also served by savage sacrifice? Accepted wounds? Blood spilled on the dust of distant worlds? Life and death and life and death and life and death are locked in a battle that never ends. The cycle is the same. The pain is the same. We eliminate those who oppose the Light. They annihilate those who do not worship the Dark. In the end, only sorrow remains.

the light is agitating to the dark, twisting our shadows into foul forms at every flicker, every challenge to their radient opulence. We must extinguish them to know peace!

If there is Lights there also must be Darkness.
One reveals the other. Tends it. Carves it like marble to reveal a new shape. There is a balance between them.
Therefore, to understand the Darkness we study the Light. Just as Light is connected through space and time, so is the Darkness. And, just as the Light has those who serve, who act as hands, and heart, and will, there are those who wield the Dark in the same fashion.
The Light healed us, and so we have a responsibility to give it back the lives it has given us. There will be a day when we meet a new kind of Guardian.
Light and Dark. Power and Weakness. Guardian and Guardian.
Symmetry.
