Before the darkness

The sky was filled with the darkness and it grew bigger and bigger. Dóro turned to the darkness intending to destroy it. He gathered every rage he could find in him and as he was about to strike the darkness,he saw a light,very little but very bright shining from within the darkness.He immediately aborted his attack and with great suspense,he walked into the darkness and got closer to the light. As he got closer,he realized it was a human like creature,folded with his head bent over on his knees. He realized the creature looked sad. He drew close to the creature and when he touched the creature,he entered a state of unawareness,a deep sleep where he felt nothing.

He entered a world in his mind where he could see the creature standing from a distance. He walked towards the creature. It looked like a man but it skin looked pale and covered with scales made out of pure silver. He seemed marveled upon seeing the beauty of the creature. "What are you?",Dóro asked. The creature replied,"I am just like you,instruments of the gods,created for a purpose until I was needed no more,all I speak was a purpose but I found none then became lost and filled with darkness. Long ago before the creation of man,the gods created me. I was put in charge for the well-being of the earth. To grow the trees,to feed the land,to change the seasons and everything that was needed to be done to ensure the existence of life on earth. Life was wonder as I enjoyed doing what I was purposed for. I never felt bored and was always happy. Then humans were created and the gods saw then as a better option and I was no longer important. I felt I sense of emptiness and felt lost. I begged the gods to destroy me but they let me live. I tried destroying myself but I was cursed with immortality. I became lost and the darkness within grew bigger and bigger,manipulating my thoughts and action. It told me that the humans were the cause of all that has become of me,for because of their existence I am no longer needed by the gods. I rained my anger on humans,intending to destroy then all. But the more humans I destroyed,the more empty and dark I felt. I couldn't resist for it has gotten to a point where the darkness has taken over me. For everyone has a darkness within and when a sense of purpose is lost,the darkness awakens. You should have destroyed me,there is no way out of the darkness. Now it will consume us both". Dóro walked closer to the creature,lifted his head,looked him in the eye and said,"A wise friend once told me that,it is our choose to be a dead log. The gods must have made us to be weapons or guardians be it is our choose to be who we want to be. Honestly,I don't even know who I am or who I want to be right now but I just can't sit and let my darkness take over me. I've got questions to answer. I mean,after all of this,what is going to become of. I can decide to sit and feel sad and hopeless but I want to go out there and find a reason to live for". "Trust me,there's nothing out there worth living for. I lived among humans and they treated me like trash. They never accepted me to be one of them no matter how I presented myself. I felt lonely everyday for there was only one of my kind. I pleaded with the gods to destroy but they refused. Knowing I couldn't attack the gods,I turned all my rage on the humans. There's no way out of this now,Dave yourself before the darkness consume you completely and do me the favor of destroying me for I've only brought terror and pain into your world. For I would like to rest now,it has been so long a time".The creature looked in his hands and saw the dagger. "That dagger,it belongs to your father,he was s good man and yet he died for nothing". The creature grabbed the dagger and pulled it into his chest. Dóro tried to stop him but he was too fast. He woke up and realized he stabbed the creature. He burst up in tears. He cried,for he intended to save the creature but he failed

On his last breath,the creature looked up to Dóro,pulled the dagger out of his chest and handed to to him with his hand full of blood and eyes full of tears of joy saying,"I guess this belongs to your father,take it and let his spirit guide you,for he was s good man and you should grow up to be just like him. I'm not discouraging you but I spent most of my life searching for a purpose but found none. It was quite an adventure,I don't fine mine but maybe you might find what you are looking for". Slowly in Dóro's arms the creature died. He laid the creature in the middle of the darkness and in pain and agony he blazed like the sun. Unleashing every rage in him, he said to himself, "I have trained my hole life to destroy the one that was not dark but lost,the one that was not a harm but threatened, for I feel like I have mistaken my purpose". He blew up,unleashing every rage in him,eating up every darkness around him and the corpse of the creature. He became very weak a fell from the sky. As he was about to hit landing,Sar jumped into the sky to catch him landing into a tree. Everyone ruched to then to confirm their safety. Sar was conscious but the boy but the boy lay there unconscious and helpless. The uncle said to the people,"He's ok,we should leave him to rest now and recover for he has used great energy to destroy the darkness.
