Shine Bright to Defeat All Fears
I rejoiced in the newly found knowledge that I have a power I can access inside my soul.
No that’s wrong. Maybe I’ve always known, without really having to know, that this ability to heal was somewhere waiting inside of me.
It hid from me for a long time.
I felt it wax and wane, sometimes pouring out from the unknown inner sanctum of my being.
It poured forth on occasion without notice, as if on its own, before I ever even learned how to use it.
Perhaps the power itself knew when it was needed by those in proximity to me who had been swallowed by darkness.
I used it almost subconsciously, as if reacting instinctually to its presence, trance like serenity was all I could feel.
I was amused to see light trickle slowly out of me and evaporate into the air to shine and light up the darkness that threatened to multiply the fears held by the shadow’s captives.
My mind was unsure of its own actions after full consciousness was returned to me.
What had I just done?
Helped someone? Loved an enemy? Put her needs before my own?
Honestly, I don’t really know.
