Lightbringers

Kellen Danvers had only one thing of any personal nature in his office and it was this: a photograph of the world at night, hundreds of thousands of little lights defining every populated area of the world. He'd never been the sort to moralize, but when people asked him to think about things in black and white he thought about the map. It wasn't that the dots of white that spread across the borders of the continents were good or evil in Danvers mind. It was just that they were. It was the nature of humankind to spread light in dark places and whatever else there was to it, that was what mattered most to him.
