YOU AND ME

The Ballad of Magic

There was light. There was darkness. Existing within nothingness and humanity. The origin unclear. Tangled and dazzled between the tiptoes of shadows and feathers of light.

One had fallen from the sky. Created a home for their kind. Was this the beginning? Or the end?

The day of dawn was the day of the beginning. A portal to a different world. Unlocked by the pain of humanity. Twins to step on to the other side.

One born in the balance of white and green. One born in the balance of black and red.

Stumbling, crying, laughing and exploring. Trapped in Purgatory, so they thought. But it was too new, too sensitive, too gentle and clean to be hellfire.

The universe was watching them. A deeper message within was waiting. Days of struggle and disbelief followed until they woke up inside and beyond.

The beyond let them live and understand. Their magic within.

And so they started to create and build. The White feathers turned into the sky and brought the light, the clouds and weather of all kinds. The Green let nature grow. All around, divided into six landscapes. Sprinkled with grass, trees, flowers and flora, overthrowing their own imagination. Oceans rose from the ashes of understanding and surrounded the landscapes like the ones they had seen in the mortal world.

But the world would fall apart if one could not live and explore

And so the creation extended. The Black brought the figures and beings, risen from the shadows. The Red let them understand their feelings and beyond that their imagination. Names and wisdom were given. Emotions of all kinds to have a deeper inside in their own beings. The first magicians were born, to yet live and create beyond.

And once the two had finished their work they started to leave. Dancing into the shadows, floating into feathers, dazzling into hearts and vanishing into nature.

To let them live and explore. To understand the balance on their own. To find their magic within.
