Another day, another night...
I had always been a creature of darkness. Even in the tropics of The Amazon of which I was raised, I had always found comfort in the shadows. Of those I created I found even more. The feeling of what I created wrapped tightly around me brought comfort.
Happiness.
Some go their entire lives without the simple joys in life, but me, I create my own...
Today is no different. I am back. A glittery twinkle in my midnight eyes as I stand alone in the transition of day and night. Face to the sky. The stars, shining down on me, create a mesmerizing pattern across my grey-blue hide. As if they are a mirror image of the nights sky.
I often pass my time with my creations. Bending light and dark into different arrays of uses. It gets lonely sometimes, not knowing where my family went. Not having anyone to talk to. To share my secrets with. Here, with my creations, I am not alone.
My black masked face is held high, angled to look at the millions of lights above. I resist blinking my vibrant eyes, as if I may miss a streak of light crossing the night sky if I do. A slight shift in my shoulders turn me slightly to give me another area to view.
I smile happily.
My happiness is soon distrupted by a soft crunch of snow in the distance. Charcoal ear flicks in it's direction as my head swivels to match. I call to my shadows to shield me as I look out into the tree line. They come quickly and effortlessly, gathering around me. I do not otherwise move.
Quiet and still, I wait...
I can be your light,
Or your darkness
