The Remnant Rubble

by Eden   May 14, 2005


Now that I have done what visions brought
I am cold and useless...bought.
The price of a soul is more than I can handle...
And I have consumed so many a candle.
Now I think of my recent past...
And think of my melting soul's dark mast...
Was it worth it to cause so much pain?
To succumb to that Tribulation Rain?
*sigh* I guess it was alright...
To defeat with such awesome strength...the Light.
But then what will become of me...
Now that there is no Light left to accept me?
Riddles of doubt now cloud my once-firm thoughts...
Such a price to be paid...I have had my soul drought.
...Such a price...

In my maniacal rampage then...
Passing swiftly to damaged glen...
I killed a child so pure and bright...
Killed my own child of the Light.
Now I hold it wo my arms...
Children weeping at my drooping harms.
Shoulders on the verge of shaking with spasms...
I sent this child to a hellish chasm.
I never wanted to hurt this little girl...
But what's done is done...now my existence I'll hurl.
Such a price to pay for darkness...

NO...No more...
I did what I did because I believed I believed in something. Everything...all that I accomplished...would be for naught if I still did not believe.
My darkness was easier to win than it was to keep my sanity, which I am on the threshold of losing...
Now there is nothing more to kill...no more religion...
So what?
There are no more people...
There is no more chaos and no more peace...
This is not a dream after all...
What I did was right...
What is right and what is wrong is all in perspective anyways, correct?
Yes...I am justified in my cold slaughter...
What is one misunderstood casualty in the war for purity?
What I did was just.

So...slowly I dropped the dead child to the ground. I stood up and looked to the horizon where the sun should have been rising over the crimson mountains...But I saw no light.
The mountains were black and the sky was an unclear ebony haze above...
I oversaw the remains of my desolate domain...the leftovers of my bloodthirsty rage.
I am satiated in my lust for human blood...for now.
As I stand here even now watching the horizon...I know that something is coming.
And...just as I thought...a new darkness starts to spread across the land, originating from my body in a ripple of decadence.
I look to the mountains' peaks and see exactly what I knew I would see...
A Crimson Moon come to reign over me.
