Darkness

Reedan discarded the darkness he had wrapped around himself as he emerged from the shadows. With his pitch black hair and clothes, he hardly needed the darkness, but he didn't like taking chances. It was early evening, so the shadows were long and deep, making it easy for Reedan to move around undetected. His eyes had been soaked in darkness for a long time. He had no trouble seeing in the weak light. 

Out on the edge of town, Reedan didn't have to deal much with people. The lights of town in the distance were just coming on, and the noises were starting to die down. It wouldn't be much longer before night would fall, and it would be time for the events to begin. He could practically feel the darkness crackling with anticipation for what was to come. 

He found his perch in a tree just at the edge of the forest. He watched as the life of the town slowly died down and the people went to sleep. The moon began to rise slowly over town. It was large and full, and practically shined a spotlight down on the buildings. As the moon climbed higher and higher, the light moved further into the town square, and it became more focused. 

Reedan watched from his perch, and saw the fountain in the center of town finally light up. Every building was dark, but their darkness was nothing compared to what came next. Across town, where he knew Seeran was waiting, thick lines of darkness extended, pitch black, like a shadow extending out out from a silhouette. The darkness in his own body was begging to reach out, pounding against his skin.

Extending his hands, he let the darkness free. It leaped out of him, racing forward, bounding over the buildings that stood in its way. It slammed into the other strands as they wrapped around the fountain, just on the iuter edges of the moon's light. They danced, swirling around each other, extending up into the sky, encasing the light of the moon within themselves. Reedan could feel himself in his darkness, flying through the sky, held firmly in the arms of Seeran.

Higher and higher they soared, seated firmly in their trees, and the darkness created a tall tower, reaching up to touch the moon. Before long, the moon couldn't even be seen beyond their tower of black. But they continued to climb, unsatisfied until they could touch it, far beyond the reaches of their existence. 

And then the moment passed, and the light moved, and their tower ceased to be. The darkness fell away, evaporating into the air as if it was never there to begin with. Reedan let hinself drop tonthe ground, where the darkness of the ground reached up to cloak him and make it disappear until the next time.
