Suffocating darkness

[Sr_Dimentio 584]

Lucien was not a good person, he made lots and lots of mistakes throughout your life. Now that he couldn't see nothing but suffocating and oppressive darkness all around, he remembered... He remembered his teenager days, where he used to kill small birds to take their feathers. A pathetic and disgusting way of coping with his own misery, if he suffered why the rest shouldn't? Well, he was too much of a coward to hurt anything bigger than those poor birds. He then started robbing more things, break in houses to rob food or small objects and leave messages, the problematic teenager was simply finding excuses to attract attention.

 

He shivered on his bed, the thought of it disgusted him, but that was not all... Recently he... "To deny it is death. There is but only one way forwards for you."

 

He denied it... And not only that, now he was useless... A monster, a creature that scratched his face, that locked him up on this jail of perpetual dark, made sure of that, it made sure he would suffer.

It made sure he would be a bird, and his captors would make sure to slowly take out his feathers... He would die a slow, agonizing death...

 

"N-No..." He hugged himself, alone in a vast forest of darkness, he was alone in despair, even if it seemed nothing but a nightmare, it felt too real.

 

"P-Please..." he sniffled "I don't want to die... Help me! Someone help me!" He then silently begged... For someone to hear him, for someone to save him from the nightmare that was this eternal darkness, from his sure demise. It wasn't answered, only silence, only the cruel promise of a death he won't even see coming... In his desperation, he started praying, to the spirits, to the aenguls, to anything that could protect him. 

 

He held into his chest as he tried to breath, a breathing that came ragged and heavy. Would someone listen to his prayers and rescue him? The answer was the darkness becoming more and more oppressing, as if it was going to swallow him.

 

He was going to die...

In the sad... Lonely dark...

Alone...

 

But then a voice was heard in the thick dark, a calm and understanding voice, like light illuminating his despair.
What message did that voice bring to the pathetic and lost Lucien? That was something only he knew, but where his prayers truly answered? When he woke up, he put on a new bandage on his eyes, and he could finally see once more. Whatever happened, it gave Lucien a new path, the darkness didn't trap him anymore.
