[Salzaal Secalno de Arthur] The black desire

When I was a kid…

Someone used to embrace me with love. In that person's heart, I used to be the first. I used to hear him repeatedly say to me, "Thank God you were born..."

I used to laugh at the top of my lungs. I used to be so self-indulgent pointlessly. Everything would end in endless forgiveness, no matter how many problems I had caused.

Those hands would gently fondle my head.

Soothing every movement.

Before everything changed when the power of darkness awakened.

I remembered shouting at the top of my lungs at that time.

My weakness on that day.

“Would I no longer be your child if I possessed the power of darkness?” It rained that day and I cried. “Would I no longer be your child if I possessed the forbidden power?”

I walked among the encircling people, who ducked away in fear, approaching the one who stood still in the center,

The man who never avoided me.
