Darkness.
Does it exist or does exist when others don't exist?
If we think about it when you see darkness that doesn't mean there's emptiness.
Rather
You're the one who sees the emptiness.
That was something Illeid Si Vleick didn't know until he saw it.
Illeid always believed that whenever he saw darkness it meant that
he's in emptiness.
He's in nowhere.
Until one day, he saw a light, a light shining
illuminating the darkness. Or may I say? His darkness.
As an image began to form in front of his eyes
That image, it was something he had never seen.
Something that looks very normal to him
Very simple..
Yet, intriguing.
As if. As if the image was alive.
As if the image was what he was destined for.
The Emptiness in his life is represented by that darkness
And that image was the only thing that pierced through it.
But, what was that image?
An image of a dark sky
A dark sky with a lot of white spots.
A carpet of stars extending through out the darkness.
But that darkness was it.. Was it real?
Or was it his darkness?
But that wasn't what made him dive deep into that image.
It was rather,
That exotic building.
That building that looks as if made of positivity.
Yes, positivity!
That building looks as if, as if it's normal!
But it wasn't normal and he knew that.
He didn't only know that.
He also knew that he must check that out but how?
What's this place?
All of that was his thoughts..
He didn't know what's happening.
Everything was mixed inside of his head.
Thoughts rushing, feelings pumping and vision deforming.
The image was disappearing..
Slowly.. Slowly.. Slowly..
Everything was back to what it was..
Darkness.
At least that's what he thought..
Because this time, what he returned to wasn't any darkness.
It was real darkness.
Darkness of entities.
Darkness that's made due to the indifference in light.
And suddenly.. He heard..
Screams.. Screams of his eternal tormentors.
As if they're going to grab him back to his darkness.
But those weren't screams.
They were mere chirping.
Nothing seemed as it seemed to him.
As finally he realized what's happening.
But how would he realize something he never realized before?
He didn't know what was happening.
What're those things he's feeling?
As if a veil of darkness shredding his skin.
But that's no veil. That's just the cold weather.
The air running through him, dancing around him in circles.
As he started to take control of his feelings and his body.
He started shaking, shaking roughly.
And he thought again, what's this?
Everything normal to us, is an alien to him.
But that truly alien thing in here.
How does he know what's happening to him though he never felt it before?
Or had he?
Everything was a blank space,
unexplained.
All that explains what's happening is.
Darkness.
Yes, darkness.
But how?
Simply because it's a part of him but it's not him.
Not because for all he remembers that eternal nightmare.
That means that everything he was in was that eternal nightmare.
As he looked all around him, he was just following his intuitions.
In a situation like that a person would be amazed if he was in his place.
But all he did was he looked around him,
His body's tremble started to stop and slowly did.
As he looking down, he realized he's standing on his legs.
As he started unto them, he started to be able to move them.
as he started to walk as if he was a robot
slowly fixing his circuits.
As he continued to do what we call "walking".
Which as always, seemed pretty familiar to him.
He finally arrived at the edge of that place he was in, which was a forest.
As his eyes trembled when he saw what he saw.
A giant place with a lot of buildings.
A lot of noise and creatures moving.
He knew what a creature was, because after all what he always with were.. Creatures!
As he stood in his place for an hour, embracing everything around him.
The dark sky of the starry night.
The great buildings of that city.
Those creatures who seem different than his fellow old companions.
And..
The building.
The one he saw in the image! That was it!
And he knew what was happening.
It was a prophecy he thought to himself.
Well, he didn't say it's a prophecy but rather something destined for him.
As if it's destined for him to go that building.
As he followed those arranged patterns which're roads
to that building.
Passing by the streets and the creatures.
He didn't look at them.
He didn't feel them.
They were aliens to him and everything is an alien to him!
That aliens became normal to him!
As he finally arrived to that building,
The image.
It was in front of him.
The same as he saw it.
The white crescent and the dots connecting and forming
a crying eye.
As he walking into a straight line until he saw a barrier.
The door.
As he stared into it,
He followed his intuitions and pushed it and ta-da!
He got inside.
He spent half an hour just walking around in circles.
Pushing people aside.
Ignoring anybody who talks to him, at least he knows what's talking.
He didn't care about anything.
He found that his life was a pointless nightmare and once he sees the point in it.
He will chase it even if his life became full of points.
Full of points forming a brick then a building then a city then a world then a universe!
Forming our lives.
As he finally arrived somewhere that's written on it
"Admissions Office"
He passed that strange barrier.
Whome he caught himself calling, door.
As he got inside, he decided to sit on a "chair".
But, what?
He started to call things by their names whenever he would use them.
But names? How did he know them?
It was all a mystery to us and no difference to him.
As he decided he will rest until what ever next happens.
As he thought of all what happened again, ordering it.
Analyzing it all.
Understanding what was happening.
And what he found is how strange he's being.
And by strange I mean how familiar and easy going it's.
But he didn't describe into words. Rather into thoughts
Into darkness inside of his head.
Manipulating it into shapes and symbols which he understood.
As if drawing.. Not drawing rather sculpting.
Sculpting his darkness.
As he thought of those creatures, who are they?
They seem different.
As he drove himself away into another lands.
Thinking of that new place he's in which's not his darkness.
As he thought of the chance being all of this another mind game of "his".
But it was all too real.
He felt that this academy is somewhere he should stay in.
And will stay in.
And is destined to.
And that those creatures he will have to deal with them but how?
As he continued to think, the more familiar everything gets and the more the normal it becomes.
As if turning into a normal being like us.
All of that by itself.
Does it exist or does exist when others don't exist?
If we think about it when you see darkness that doesn't mean there's emptiness.
Rather
You're the one who sees the emptiness.
