The final stage.

I battled too many demons in the realm of night

But at the end I am left alone in the eternal darkness

Hollow

Ancient

I am just a spark in the entire blackness

Staring at the abyss

I am at the peak

One step and I will fall

Or will I fly?

I thought I was ready for it but

Now I have to destroy me-

Or serve forever.

How can I destroy my inner self

My own being?

How can I leave behind myself

For a greater image

A sacrifice for what?

To be whole

In the eyes of love

Of the eternal god

The universe's mind.

The final boss is me against myself.

Somehow the demons look so easy now.

How can I look the same after here?

Go back and be the same old me I was before

This me is dead for sure

But also if I fly forward

How can I continue to live among the others

When myself is gone forever?

And if I fall then

Who is going to save me

Not a single soul inside this darkness

Just me and the ancient

Old gods

Judging me

Calling me home in the name of eternal love

Or screaming my name to go back and serve the master of puppets.

The external world

Once more.

No going back.

Not going back now.

I am camping at the edge of the abyss for a while.

Until I feel ready

To fly.
