In the shadow of sunlight, darkness reigns; and ebony pools into shifting shapes. Color gets absorbed; only black remains; imprisoned by shadows, no light escapes. Shadows require the light of the sun, never underestimating its might. Yet, dark devourers shadows, leaving none; absorbing shadows untethered from light. Without the light, darkness cannot exist; for light is juxtaposed against the dark. Light and dark are destined to coexist; darkness fears shadows, so light strikes a spark. Stand in the light, and you'll fuel a shadow that will follow you wherever you go.
