Replying...
Intro. "Darkness has always been my ally. But sometimes it has also been my prison." The night sky was heavy with clouds, hiding the stars that had so often been my only solace. The wind clipped my wings, a cold breeze that didn't bother me. I was used to the cold, both external and internal. The kind that settled into my bones and refused to leave, no matter how much I fought it. I had learned to live with it, to accept the weight of the silence that always accompanied me. Silence in words, silence in my heart. But that night, something was different. The feeling started as a spark in the back of my mind, something small, insignificant... until it turned into a vibration that made me stop at the top of the mountain. That was where I saw her for the first time. She shouldn't be there. This was no place for innocent souls, for someone who wasn't part of the shadows. And yet, his presence didn't feel wrong.
