a cruel fate

i became the villain because being the hero was lonely.

when i was the hero, the quest was unclear~ there was no specific end, just tiny goals that would fizzle out like sparklers dunked in a bucket of water.

everyone else was so busy being their own hero that there was no one there for me.

so i slipped into the role of villain.

sweet and beautiful and tragic and cruel~ all of these at once. the person i once was, but different.

when i was the villain, i was no longer alone. i had followers, afraid what would happen to them if they didn't submit to my convoluted rule.

and to the heros, i was a shining star, bright, consuming their universe.

because i was the only thing between them and a goal that wasn't exactly real. an obstacle, something to be despised, to look up at and hate.
