2:36am. You lay awake in your bed with your mind racing.
Your darkness is hitting you full till, crushing you and making you feel like nothing.
Your mind tells you that you should give up. No one would miss you.
Give up and you can finally rest.

But let me tell you this. Every time so far that your darkness has showed up and tried to take you down, you didn't let it...
Even when it knocked you over and beat you down, you survived and you rose back up to keep fighting. You have survived every single moment of your life up until now.

You are not just a survivor, you are a warrior, and I am so incredibly proud of you.

Remember this.
We are ALL living in the same world, but we are all fighting different demons.
As tough as mine are, someone else might be fighting tougher demons. Those demons might might be breaking them down day by day. Crushing and beating down on them.
You have no idea what they are fighting inside their own mind. They might be sitting dangerously close to the edge, ready to fall and let go. Their light would fade from this world, because no one was there to save them. They do not know how to reach out when the darkness hits.
Always try and remember that when you are around people/.
Live with empathy and love.
Who knows? You may just save a life.

A man rises at dawn, removing the mask that is his past.

He wants to start a new, using scissors to cut the memories of the past.
Visions that haunt him, enduring many sleepless nights reliving the horrors from long ago.

His future awaits, and he will no longer wear the burden that is the mask.

The scars of his past, erased by the dreams of his future.

After the dawning of the rain and the darkening of the earth, in the time of the great plague of floods.
When Thunder and Lightning ruled the earth,
That was only the beginning…

Another villain came into play… The Queen of Frost.

She marched in, her long sapphire cloak trailing behind her, calling out in a shrill voice and a wicked grin
“You have done well, boys… Now step aside, it is my turn to play!!”
She tossed them aside, a great sense of cold washing through their core...

Thunder and Lightning scowled and glared, but moved along, knowing the power of the Frost Queen is one they just could not match.

Laughing maniacally, she uttered her spells, casting a chill upon the earth
Turning the earth into a frozen wasteland
Staring down evily at her work, as ice consumed the world

Thunder and Lightning stood horrified, knowing that she took over their work. They were just having fun, while she sought ultimate power…

“What have we done…?” They asked together, wanting all of this to be just a horrible dream.
Hoping one day, they get the chance to right their wrongs...

Thunder and Lightning, the two lords of the sky.

Jealous of the legend, fame, and success of the cloud master.
How they never got any of that fame or glory.
Always on the sidelines in someone else's story.
Fell into a deep state of rage.

The clouds blackened as the earth was plunged into darkness.
Rain fell to the earth, blinding lightning and deafening thunder flashed upon the sky.

The cloud master, watching in complete horror, at the work of the two enraged lords, laughing maniacally at their work

Floods now plunged the earth, countless towns destroyed from the rushing waves.

They went mad with power, blinded by the destruction they were able to unleash upon the earth.

The earthlings, trembling and terrified, as the once docile lords of the sky, wreak havoc upon the earth...
