Schattennacht
you will declare me crazy, but I promised you I would reveal everything and I will," he began tonelessly and turned his gaze on the wooden floor. "This man, as you call him, is one of my three brothers, he is death."
"Death?" Repeated the young woman in disbelief and tried to question the young man's insane answer, but did not dare utter a word when she heard her Master's warning look.
"Didn't you feel him?" He whispered urgently, while she sat down in the chair opposite, confused. "Can't you remember the yawning void he spreads with every step he took? Can't you remember believing that you died because you couldn't feel anything? You felt him, Akane, and don't you believe my words? "
"No, that is impossible," she breathed when her glassy eyes saw something in the distance of her memories that her Master could not see, and tried desperately to suppress the emptiness that the all-encompassing presence of the stranger had created in her as she realized the full implications of his words. "But if that's true then who are you?"
"Have you never asked yourself why the people of the village hate me so much, why I always have arguments with myself?" He asked her humorlessly. "My brothers, death, hunger, and conquest, ride beside me as I swing my sword and strike the land with war."
I was politely asked, based on the subject matter of my stories, whether I was a Christian / religious fanatic or just mentally confused; the answer to these very charming questions can be made very simple at this point: No, I have no fanatical disposition just because I am writing a "trilogy" in the first part of which, "night of the shadows", the Christian religion plays a predominant role, in the second part, "The Path of Oblivion", the Greek mythology, and in the third part, "The river of time", the Norse mythology. I just enjoy exploring new topics and just like to write stories that differ in style and subject from the repetitive standard stories that every person can write without effort - but I wouldn't get the mental confusion at this point necessarily negate.I like to ask myself such questions, but I ask you to keep the key factual, as I am sure that a similar question would not be asked aggressively outside the anonymity of the Internet; if anything, that is.
