Sometimes I feel empty, so I try to fill the void with paint and thoughts of you.

Sinnoh. Five Years Ago.


He hated the world. It was an awful place filled with people who used and abused. And for what? Fleeting moments of happiness that lasted just long enough for you to enjoy them?

It all felt so futile.

Xander frowned. Staring down at his twisted rendition of Mount Cornet while his father argued with a co-worker. @kiara was around here somewhere. Doing whatever it was that she did while the old man worked. Honestly, he'd stopped keeping up months ago.

Things were starting to get heavy again.

All the darkness from that minute of eternity spent beyond the veil crept out from his heart. Crushing, suffocating. Any emotion he had left in him was drained and replaced. The cold, colorless world of apathy had become a familiar place.

The sketchbook in his hands crumpled into a funnel of wrinkled papers. Deep inside this gloom, a single person entered his thoughts.

.

A heavy sigh gave way to a sliver of emotion.

Where was she when he needed her? Why had he left her behind....

Butterfly


A luminesce butterfly in darkness. It's a beacon for the lost and weary, the crushed and broken. Each beat of scarlet wings scattered ember dust through the dark. Picturesque in how the soot fell like snow, blanketing the world in the orange glow of hope.

Deep below the curtain of cinder, he looked up, awed and breathless. How can something so small set his soul afire? The beautiful butterfly with crimson wings turned the ash in his heart into a brilliant flame. It's both flint and steel. He, a mere vessel meant to carry the spark.

He reached for the heavens, desperate to catch the butterfly but grasped only its ember dust. Warm against his palm, he held what he could close to his chest.

Then he wept, cried silent tears, not of sorrow and gloom but joy. At last, he was free of the darkness.

At last, he had hope.
