Light Within Dark

[songbird9.livejournal.com]

So I figured I'm overdue a philosophical musing post.

I met a demon today.

You all know how eagerly I jump forward at the chance for a friendly chat with the most ominous creatures of Darkness and/or entropy. Demons, ghosts, Nobodies... whatever comes our way, the first thing I want to do is get to know them personally.

I hadn't really been thinking about this as anything beyond an interest picked up when I myself was a Nobody, as well as a sort of thrill-seeking. As Josi's the trouble magnet, I'm the trouble seeker.

But it occurred to me out of the blue what it really is. It's not the Darkness that fascinates me, it's finding the Light within.

It's immensely satisfying when I get to know someone like Xemnas or Lilith and find qualities of goodness in them. Likewise it's extremely annoying when the Dark entity in question shows me nothing but more Darkness. That's why I hated Calum so much, and very quickly stopped hating him when I met a remnant who wasn't tainted by the First Darkness. Having seen the human side of him, I almost like the guy.

About the new demon, I'm not sure. He claimed to be Lilith's adoring brother, and is looking for her, so he hopefully won't cause trouble here, but just in case... Ladies, there's an incubus on the loose. Don't do anything I would do. ^_~
