The absence of something.
Is this not what you call... "nothing?"
...
Really? How interesting...
As strange as it may sound, in my world, we call nothing, "darkness."
...
When darkness is shaped by something with... malicious intent...
That darkness... becomes SOMETHING WICKED.
If there is no malicious intent... no will or desire to harm...
That Darkness becomes SOMETHING BENEVOLENT.
...oh?
That's a good question...
When that happens, the Darkness still becomes SOMETHING WICKED, but it is not with intent to kill...
No...
It is FEAR.
...
FEAR allows for WICKED DARKNESS, but it saves itself from true BENEVOLENCE. No, in fact, it becomes something more than even that...
It becomes TERRIFYING.
