WATERMARKED FOR EVERYONE'S PROTECTION

This isn't filler and this isn't all relevant to my personal life right now. However, it doesn't mean this is without meaning.

When your soul is hurt, I believe it means you're immortally wounded. I think the soul lives forever, after all. This manipulation shows what I believe happens (in an artsy way) how the body follows the soul. Your soul lives forever so all emotional pain it endures lasts only so long. Your body is quite different. When it reaches its peak, that's the end of it. Essentially, it's like the immortal living in a mortal body being the same as an immortal loving a mortal. One goes forever and the other perishes and the one that stays is meant to be sad for it. I also believe that your soul reflects your wants. It only makes sense to me. So this person's soul chooses to surround itself with greens whereas the physical body (now past deteriorating) is in a dark world.

Enough explanation! On to the credits.

Wow, I REALLY like this! I'm reading a book called "Death of a Darklord" by Laurell K. Hamilton. And In the book, magic is a delicate thing. You can't abuse it because the land itself is cursed, and as you draw on magical forces, the land kinda leaches on to your life force, your soul. And it corrupts, damages, and decays your soul. So even if you used the magic solely for healing and good, your soul would suffer and decay. (Unless your the main character of the book, then your special and you can do whatever you want >,>;) Anywho..

So, even though you have a slightly different meaning, the reverse applies beautifully to the book :D I see one of the mages from the book, who although she is a young beautiful cleric, her soul has been decayed by a life of war and death.

I'm so glad you like it so :D

Actually, the concept of magic leeching your life force was my favorite theme in a game called Legend of Mana. The people of the City of Jewels could shed life giving tears and heal but with each tear, it would destroy the crier bit by bit. Soon they turned away from people fearing their lives and cursed themselves so that they would no longer cry. That curse in turn cursed all those around them so that if they cried for these people, they'd turn to stone.

Ok so not all that same but still.

If you see a killer bunny anytime soon, it's just my minion bunnies on a mission. If they attack you, it's only because they're hungry.
