Chapter 1: The Dark Night Speaks

In the stillness of the night, a voice emerges from the shadows, seeking connection.

Dark Night: Do you have a moment to converse?

I find myself feeling quite isolated tonight.

Normally, this doesn’t trouble me,

But I suspect I understand why

I’m often referred to as

The Dark Night.

Me: Of course! What’s on your mind?

Please, share your thoughts with me.

I’m here for you, no rush at all.

Tell me, what troubles you?

Dark Night: I once viewed my darkness as a form of beauty.

Many women envy the depth of my hair,

Hoping to transform their identities

And infuse vibrancy into their otherwise colorless lives.

Me: Indeed, I can relate.

Whenever I write about hair in my tales,

Your essence always finds a way in.

A moment of silence enveloped us before the Dark Night met my gaze. She appeared weary, and I could sense her pain resonating within me.

She sighed, hiding her face before continuing,

Dark Night: Not everyone shares this view.

There are many who harbor resentment towards me,

Blaming me for their sorrow.

They claim that only loneliness roams the night.

I’ve been told I only ignite their spirits

When the stars and moon grace the sky.

Without them, I seem to bring bad news,

Not the melody of a romantic ballad.

I feel like a small child,

Hoping for someone to come and rescue me.

I’m frightened and alone,

Yet no one steps forward.

Me: You must never feel ashamed of who you are.

You are uniquely you, and that’s enough.

Forge your own path despite what others may say.

Some things glow more brilliantly in the dark.

The universe has a purpose for everything,

Revealing it when the moment is right.

Dark Night: Thank you, dear friend.

I truly value your kindness.

When I shared my troubles with the wind,

It urged me to seek you out.

They say the universe always supports you,

And it’s true.

In times of hardship, it sends

Compassionate souls like you to our aid.
