Kirstyn

Born in light, made of darkness.

That is who she is. It was who she was and there was nothing she could do about it. She was made in such a way that she wouldn't fit in, but blended in too well at the same time. It's taking her some time but she thinks she's slowly learning to accept it.

When she found the Nephilium, she found home. She found the place where she belonged, and the beautiful feeling of belonging was addictive. However, even then, light penetrated into her shadowy home, in the form of Lucius, Faye, Vanessa, Marcus, Alexius. Just as light was drawn to darkness, darkness was drawn to light. It was in the works of world.

After a slow realization of this fact, she couldn't help but feel chagrined. The thing that she had tried to avoid was the thing that she couldn't be without. She wonders why she was born in this way, wonders if she would've belonged if only she was like them.

As time went by, she realized that light, too, wanted to be a part of darkness. That sometimes it felt lost and alone. That their feelings were exactly a mirror of hers. She found the reason why they were all drawn together.

It took her an even longer time to realize, that together, hand-in-hand with light, was exactly where she was meant to be all along.

This, was home.
