Bulgarian term or phrase: в моето начало
"В моето начало са и Светлината, и Тъмнината. Аз наистина стоя на границата между тях. Не знам дали ще мога да живея с това. Това е огромна тежест. "

Подсмисълът е, че бащата служи на Тъмнината, майката на Светлината, затова детето е на границата. Не мога да реша как точно да го предам на английски...

I was created by the union of Light and Darkness...
Explanation:
Just a suggestion.

My other suggestion is the typical phrase to refer to your parents:
"I was born to the union of Light and Darkness" - "rodih se v semeistvoto na Svetlinata i Tumata", sko bukvalno stava duma za semeistvo.

My inception is rooted in both Light and Darkness


Explanation:
А може просто да използвате и "I have roots in..."

За "начало" може да използвате и "conception", но " conception...rooted in..." се използва най-вече с другото значение на "conception" - "идея, възглед".

Началото на трети параграф - един от многобройните примери за употребата на "inception" като "начало".

Notes to answerer
Asker: ами... inception според речника се ползва рядко в този смисъл, но понеже текста е литературен, архаичен и дълбок, мисля. че всъщност е добре да се ползват "особени" думи

Asker: аз имах предвид точно, че inception е по-добре от conception :) моят вариант на изречението беше "I was conceived with Light and Darkness", защото както и да опитвах със съществително не ми звучеше хубаво. Вашият вариант, обаче, си звучи съвсем добре.

disagree  Yavor Dimitrov: "I hate to rain on this/your parade" simply means that I am going to tell you bad news, that is I don't agree with you. No offence intended whatsoever. I am really sorry.
