Helianthus And Belladonna
A legend tells of two great deities, one who was associated with light and courage, while the other was associated with shadow and cowardice.
They both had their own domain, bright and shining, or dark and dull.
One day the deity of light grew curios of the shadows domain and crossed over to the dark and lifeless terrain.
Light explored for days, a strange force pulling them in deeper.
Light would not rest until the source of the pull was found, no matter how hard they tried, the pull would call them back to their search.
In the deepest, darkest depths of shadow’s domain light found the most beautiful thing they had ever seen.
The most wonderful of flowers, difficult to see due to being only a darker hue of the surrounding environment.
Light delicately picked the flowers, as not to ruin them, for they wanted to bring them back to plant them at the heart of their own domain.
When Light was about to enter their own domain, they saw something within that stood out.
The deity of Shadow had also ventured into their opposites domain, but to find something of simular calibre… flowers.
As Shadow and Light met at their domains edge, they knew that this was not something to be looked over.
They talked for hours on end, about the strange force they dubbed “Fate” or “Destiny”.
Light: That is the name of the flower you picked from the heart of my land, the flower of Shadow’s fate.
Shadow: Belladonna, the name of the flower that is your destiny, like Helianthus is mine.
The Deities soon had to part ways, for the flowers they picked would soon wither away.
Time and time again, light and shadow would meet at dawn and twilight, for another force pulled them there.
For they shared a destiny, the end of the beginning and the beginning of the end, they were to spend each cycle in the others company.
Shadow: You are my destiny
Shadow: Without you there is no hope, no joy, no light in life. I am only a burden, I bring darkness and despair. Only true and pure happiness can be attained when I am not there.
Light: That is where you are wrong, without you, my light would be meaningless, for where ever there is a light there is a shadow.
Shadow: Everything would be better without me, so I ask a favor of you. Spare me, you and all, of what I am and represent. Take my life, take my soul, I am full of to much repent. I cause you pain, I cause you suffering!
Light: You lie. You haven’t brought any of that to me, you make me happy, you bring me joy and purpose. Without you my light wouldn’t be as bright and would grow dull, yet blinding.
Shadow: Listen to me! You are my legacy! My destiny! Im pulled towards you and I know why! You are fated to slay me!!! To kill me!! To finally bring me peace! I can’t handle this anymore! I don’t want to be known as what brought all sorrow! I want to be known as the being that finally gave light a chance! That ga-
Light: you mean more to me than what others say. I love you more, than what others will do. for I love you, and what you represent. Im in love with the person who also loves me t-
