Paths of darkness, paths of light
I try to walk the path you set me on
Keeping peace, killing none
But the brightness hurts my eyes
And the shadows are so nice
It becomes too much, my master
Holding this rage inside of me
And I don't wish to set off your alarms
But I see nothing in this world but harm
It takes mothers and sisters in violent ways
Kills innocents, takes innocence away
And it would all be less ugly
Writhing in a pure, bright flame
Your kindness is the only one I know
And I loathe so to disappoint you
You don't approve of this burning hate
But these strong emotions won't go away
I see these beings, these roaches called men
And the dark urge wells up, I can't keep it in
I love you, my master, for what you have done
And my flame will burn all the brighter to show you my love
I will destroy this darkness so that it will never touch you
Plunge headlong into oblivion so that I will never taint you
I will raze this darkened, blood-drenched road
So that you can walk your path of light and love

Yes....this is very good. A near perfect blend of dark and fantasy, I love the whole thing, the way you describe the battle within the apprentice's emotions, it's brilliant.
I wish you the best of luck in the contest.
