*I just wanted to give a huge thank you to my beta/editor drnucleus on Tumblr. Feel free to stop by and say HI on Tumblr as well, you can find me under the username nite0wl29 and a special thank you to jade-belle-2187 for designing the gorgeous cover photo for the story and to pride-and-prejudice-in-space for the amazing piece of calligraphy!

One shall be born, chosen

Of pure energy, the Force incarnate

To restore the balance, great schism had wrought

End the duality of darkness and light

For balance is in the unity of the gray

There is passion, yet peace

Anger, yet joy

Greed, yet generosity

Hate, yet love

Cruelty, yet kindness

Chaos, yet order

Balance exists when light tempers dark

Light imbues, guides gently

Dark consumes, beckons ruthlessly

When one of chosen blood

Heedless of the guiding light

Succumbs to the seductive call of the dark

A curse shall be born unto thee

Of stolen breath and blackened hearts

Into darkness thou shall fall

When the last crack of kyber crumbles to dust

Forever damned, isolated and cloaked in darkness thou shall be

Even in deepest despair there is hope

For true love can repair the darkest of hearts

True love manifest of deed and pure intent

In generosity, compassion and sacrifice

Freely given, and reciprocated without reservation

To the light thou shall be restored

To bring the Force back into accord
