In the darkness stood a lone shadow However, this shadow stood out in a unique way It was darker, yet brighter, than the darkness around it Acting as a beacon towards unwanted attention It brought creatures towards itself, unknowing of its uniqueness They were curious, but in their curiosity, they caused harm The Shadow retreated, crossing vast distances across the land Through deep caverns Scaling impossible cliffs Until it finally reached the tallest mountain The creatures did not stop, they hounded the Shadow Following it over impossible landscapes Upon reaching the peak, the Shadow had but one choice It ascended into the heavens above, where it was safe, and could not be followed Without the darkness around it, it shone brighter, and darker than it Becoming the Light of the darkened world below

The Shadow that Ascended
In the darkness stood a lone shadow However, this shadow stood out in a unique way It was darker, yet brighter, than the darkness around it Acting as a beacon towards unwanted attention It brought creatures towards itself, unknowing of its uniqueness They were curious, but in their curiosity, they caused harm The Shadow retreated, crossing vast distances across the land Through deep caverns Scaling impossible cliffs Until it finally reached the tallest mountain The creatures did not stop, they hounded the Shadow Following it over impossible landscapes Upon reaching the peak, the Shadow had but one choice It ascended into the heavens above, where it was safe, and could not be followed Without the darkness around it, it shone brighter, and darker than it Becoming the Light of the darkened world below
