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
