The Shattered Planet
A story by Duncan Smith
1. Into the Light from the Sweet, Sweet Darkness
Time means nothing in the void. Darkness is all that one finds in the eternal deep. As such, the small light that flourished in its depths was a phenomenon beyond the knowledge of any and all in this universe; the void was supposedly constant. Eternal. Somehow, this one small bright individual became in the midst of the void, an embodiment of pure will.
The light saw nothing, and fear took hold. It searched for the way out of the nothing, but found nothing of the like. Its despair began to grow, as it floundered through the nothingness. Its light had no way out. There was no conduit for it’s silent power. The darkness was absolute, allowing for no hope of escape.
The little light had almost lost hope when a way opened. The way into the light, to the real and true world behind the veil that was the void. And so the little flame went through the gate, into a new world. A world from which he would never escape. No acts of mercy would be given in this land, no portals to a new world. For sometimes, it is better to stay in the cool, calm darkness, rather than to go jumping headlong into the light.
This is the first bit. More to come. and yes, i double posted. DONT KILL ME!!
