The Dark One seized the Goddess, and forced her into mortal form, blinding her to her own power. The Dark One believed that only in this way would the Goddess be happy with her life. But the Goddess's power is no meager thing, and before long, The Goddess was free of her entrapment.
And so the Dark One fled. For in the brief moments of the Goddess's awakening, she saw the error of her ways. She realized her sins, and at the same time, realized that Goddess would forgive her, as the Goddess forgives all. And so she was afraid.
So she hid, afraid of the Goddess's soothing light, of her selfless mercy. Within the dark corners of human hearts, the shadowy miasma of wraiths, and in the darkness between the stars, she hid.
To this day, The Dark One still hides, afraid of the Goddess's love.
But one day she will be found. And on that day all the worlds will cry tears of joy, as the Goddess reunites with her equal and opposite, and the Law of the Cycles is complete.
