The Offering

The Offering: A Promise Between Light and Dark

A vow between Light and Dark — where surrender becomes seed,
and what falls is held in keeping.

This threshold teaches us that balance is not something fixed to be held, but something alive, embodied in exchange. When we meet the Light, we become the Dark — the ones who receive. When we meet the Dark, we become the Light — the ones who shine.

The Offering by Lorriiii Dragon Dream The Light lifted the day in his arms,
a vessel brimming with hours.

He turned to the Dark and whispered:
“I have carried this to the crown of the sky.
I have clothed the fields in radiance,
drawn rivers into gleam,
laid brightness upon every stone.
But my strength wanes.
Take what I can no longer bear.”

The Dark rose to meet him,
her voice the stillness beneath roots:
“I receive you.
I gather what falls.
I cradle what rests.
Nothing is wasted in me.
All that descends
is held in my keeping.”

The Light sighed,
his glow breaking at the horizon’s edge:
“Then let me fall without fear.”

The Dark replied,
ancient as ocean,
solemn as stone:
“You do not fall.
You descend.
You sink to seed.
Your embers dream in my depths.
What you surrender, I guard.
And when the Wheel turns,
I return you — reborn in dawn.”

And the day slipped into night,
as breath slips into silence,
as river folds into sea.
The Earth shuddered at their sacred meeting,
as the Stars gathered in witness,
and Time itself bowed
to the vow of the Offering.
