Awakening (5)

Awakening 🕯️ (5)

Kid followed the Forest Elder's instructions, and went around to discover the world, something which seemed to trouble her quite a bit, especially when she wakes up from a seemingly recurrent dream, leaving her nervous and anxious. She wakes up to find Kid right where she feared he would be: by the gate of Eden. Kid is pulled back, and forbidden from entering the realm, for a reason that Teth doesn't explain. Kid wonders why she is acting as if every star was an eye staring at her. He finds the stars beautiful, and notices that one of them had fallen off. What could that possibly be, and what could it mean for everyone? was it just an ordinary Skykid?

Awakening 🕯️ (11)

After Teth rushed to save Kid, who had been mesmerized by the glow of the red shards, she finds herself in a void of darkness. But she isn't alone — Kid is there as well. But, something about him seems different.

The Shadow of Darkness

this video elaborates more on how I picture that after the King becomes corrupted, the darkness gains "sentience", and it grows the more Resh "listens" to it. In a sense, Resh's body is like that of a puppet, and Alef is imprisoned somewhere inside, his voice and light getting snuffed out more and more as Resh falls into Darkness. I believe that around the time of the Shattering, Resh (the body) and the Shadow become one; an all consuming Darkness which has a consciousness of its own. and the more it is fed, the more it grows. so basically, as the Elders attempt to seal him, he cannot be defeated due to his power. so the Darkness is sealed within the mountain of Eden, thus rendering it "alive" to a certain extent. it doesn't have a human body to manifest through anymore, so the rage is perpetual through the storm of Eden.

Sketching (turned chaotic)

It was supposed to be one picture (the first) but the twins' energy was too chaotic to contain . . .

i really like to believe that Alef / Resh aren't really the same person, even if technically, they are. but Resh is more of the humanoid form of the darkness that has taken over Alef's body, if that makes sense? i imagine there was probably a period during which Alef had a sort of internal battle ( that he obviously lost ) , against the growing darkness inside of him. much like darkness absorbs light, perhaps light was absorbed from Alef, and Darkness has replaced it, in a similar fashion that when Light was drained out of light creatures, they became dark creatures? an empty shell of what they used to be? something of the sort... eitherway, I am fascinated by this concept ( as you can see )

once again amazing voice work by @doofguyva on tiktok !!

"If only I could apologize,

Apologize a million times,

as many times as there

are stars in the sky.

If only I could apologize

for not being strong enough,

for having allowed you

to be hurt by this cruel world.

I welcomed you in a world

that has offered nothing,

but pain and suffering.

Yet in my heart full of sorrow,

you bring a light that

was unknown to my soul.

You are the sun that has

calmed my eternal storms,

and has made my rainy days

more tolerable.

You are too small to bear

any burdens.

Let me carry everything

that weighs upon your heart.

I will carry a mountain

to save you any ache.

I will carry a mountain

so one day,

you might forgive

my mistakes,

If God forbid, you may

ever remember the

pain I have caused you.

Yet I long for you to

remember me,

to remember me,

as the one who has

carried you,

into the sunlight.

I will hold you close

to my heart,

I will carry you until

you refuse the safety

of my arms,

and the sound of

my broken heart."
