The Broken and The Blessed
Description
In a world made of only black and white there are two kinds of beings: those who are living in the shadows and are made of light, and those who are made of shadows and are living in the light. Those made of shadow only contain feelings of hate, anger, sadness, agony, and despair. Those made of light only experience emotions such as happiness, joy, love, and appreciation. Because of this difference those made of light often refer to those made of shadow as “The Broken” and look upon their surroundings as a reminder of what could be. The ones made of shadow call those made of light the “Blessed Ones” and believe their surroundings are a reminder of how miserable their lives are and what they will never have.
While the two groups are aware of the others existence they have never interacted with each other. This lack of interaction is caused not by the fact that they don’t want to interact, but because it is not physically possible. Those of the Light perceive this impossibility as blessing, those of the Shadow think of it as a curse made to separate them from the “Blessed Ones” so as not to taint their purity.
In a world made of only black and white there are two kinds of beings who have never interacted with one another. Beings made of shadow and beings made of light. The two have nothing in common, nothing to connect them to one another. It is only black and white. There is no gray, there never has been.
Until now.
For the first time the two groups have something in common, or rather someone. For unknown reasons a being is created who is neither Light nor Shadow, not black or white, but gray. This person can experience emotions from both sides of the spectrum and can interact with The Broken and the Blessed Ones.
This being is neither Light nor Shadow, neither black nor white, neither Broken nor Blessed. Neither of the realms fully accepts them. This being is referred to as many things, but none of these things are their proper name. This being is a young girl, and she calls herself…
Eve.
Foreword
So, I didn't actually expect to write this, I was just kind of thinking about it and I eventually ended up writing it down one day while I was bored in class. (Really though, history is not my thing either. So naturally i don't pay attention...) Anyways, I have been writing it during my classes for the past few days, because for some reason I can never pay attention in any of my classes. This story was just something that I thought of so if it is in any way similar to something you or somebody else has written I am terribly sorry, but it was not intentional.
I'm actually really bad with titles, so I know it's probably not the most interesting or creative title but whatever. I am pretty bad at English as well, so I apologise for any mistakes made and hope you will point them out to me if you spot them so that I can improve. I'm working on it and hopefully I will improve over time. Thank you for your time and I hope you enjoy!
