No, I could not be a creature of the dark. I look at my skin. So unique and fragile. I listen to the way my heart beats. Silence my thoughts and feel the soul the I am. I see through these eyes and take the time to find the glory in all of it. I search for the photographic lines that make beauty what it is. No. I could not become a creature of the dark. I know that what they say in books about vampires and witches and fey. I'm quite certain it would be a wonderful experience. But I also know that all of that is Satan. That the glory they feel is black. That the beauty they experience is a knock-off. I know that although their priestcraft sounds wonderful and self pleasing and in some cases it even feels like they use their priestcraft to help others it does not change the fact that it is priestcraft. That their healing and all the other ways they "help" others eventually breaks. Eventually their actions will have consequences. I could not live with those consequences. I could not live through the pain I would eventually cause myself and others.
No, I could not be a creature of the dark. I may know the beauty of the night. But the night is only beautiful because it is created by God. I know that my potential is great. But I must not forget that my potential can lead down dark paths if I am not careful. If I do not listen to the Spirit.
No, I could not be a creature of the dark because my essence was made by the Light. Because it is within my power to deny the dark power over my being. Because my All Loving Father has given me the choice.
I will not fail him.
It is the least I can do for Him. For all of my brethren. For all of my descendants. For myself.
