This Light { doesn't belong here } {Vodun}

...Something I was so frightened of...
...how funny...
...
...Really, it's quite warm here...
Is this that other side people spoke of...?
Like a warm, dark blanket, it coats my fears and numbs me to the core. I don't mind this...
...This peace...
Vo, is this what you were trying to give me? This pleasant nonexistence? I was burning through the darkness for so long that I didn't realize the looming shadows I was creating.
Everything is calm now. Nothing jumps or rips or tears at the walls around me.
Especially not you.
...Vo, wherever you are, can you hear me?
I've never known a world without your voice.
If I yell...?
VODUN!
...Nothing. Silence. Peace.
It isn't so bad.
It almost numbs the ache in my heart. The ache that tells me something is wrong.
Even here, in this peaceful place, am I supposed to suffer?
What is... what is that...?
No! Get out of my darkness! Get away from my peace! I don't want the flame anymore!
A voice...?
Vo, that's you, isn't it?
Talk to me, please...
Stay here? Stay where? You aren't in this place...
No, this can't be right. You're trying to come here, Vo? No, you have to stay. I found the darkness so that you could stay in the forest!
That light... are you pushing through? No, no! Vodun, I'll never forgive you! This peace is wonderful... This numbness... This dark warmth... But it isn't your time yet!
NO! I won't let you through!
*curious* o:
Hm >n<
Thanks, you two! ;u; Again,
Again, let me know if anything is confusing ♥
Music update~ Was hard finding something for this one >>
Wow, you make these things so
;u; You're so good to me,
Wow. And I don't know
And I don't know whether I should be more concerned about Vo or Red (it's so interesting how Red calls Vo "Vo," like acknowledging that it's not him...). Is Red really happy like this? Poor Vo, in any case.
I'm glad we still get to hear from both of them... even if it is Red kind of talking from the afterlife. Ah, so interesting, all of it.
You're so vigilant, Ravus XD
And ja, I felt like this was a good opportunity to have Red reexamine himself as a separate entity. He's no longer a piece of Vodun, after all~ >u>
I think Red isn't "happy," per se, simply numb. He's content, sort of like glowing embers in a fireplace. It isn't as lovely as it could be, since he truly enjoys LIFE, but it's good enough. And I'm sure that after all that mental anguish, he enjoys the reprieve XD
Lmao, nooo, don't make this
"It isn't as lovely as it could be, since he truly enjoys LIFE, but it's good enough."
Love that. xD I understand, I think. Poor Red. I can't wait to see more where this will go.
"I felt like this was a good opportunity to have Red reexamine himself as a separate entity."
fsshh. Mind. Blown.
Noon was my morning, too
I can't wait to post the next parttt. God, I hate WORKING. I wish I could just rot in my room all day XD Haha~ But I guess it's a good thing. I'm rethinking parts of what I'd decided... I actually had all of these MASSIVE PLANS for this, but was like, "...Meh. *just does it*" XD;; I wonder how kickass it could've been if I hadn't rushed through it, haha~
;A; *picks up your mind pieces and superglues them back together*
I know, I hate the period
(Ysrael's plot thing being another case in point. >>)
That said...
"I can't wait to post the next parttt."
WORD. man. D:
I hope you know just how much
And I am soo excited for the next part. ;n; ♥
