The wind gently brushed against him, enveloping him in its warmth, as his unseeing eyes stared blankly in front of him. His fingers gently touched the locket that he wore around his neck. A picture of his brother, his parents and his friends rested within. A picture he regretted he would no longer be able to see. Not since that day, a rip in the sky opened up in the Digital World, allowing a frightening Digimon, Death-X-DORUgoramon, to enter and wreak havoc on the world.

Ken grimaced at the memory. The monster had no problem killing thousands of Digimon, completely eliminating their data from existence. It had been horrifying to watch the most powerful Digimon in the Digital World being taken down within seconds of the monster's attack. It had taken every Ultimate, Adult, Perfect, Child and Chosen Digimon to take down the monster. But, like everything, victory came at a price.

Ken sighed as sadness filled him. Many of the other Chosen died with their Digimon. Ken had lost Wormmon again, along with his Jogress partner. Ken never thought he could feel so alone. This time, he knew, Wormmon would not come back, his data had been deleted along with V-mon and Omegamon. The tears slowly began to fall again as he remembered the screams of his partner as he was deleted. It didn't help that he had lost his sight a bit before then. Resulting with Daisuke dying as he tried to protect him and he knew it was all his fault. He had been too vulnerable and weak to do anything.

Ken buried his face in his hands as he tried to remember what everyone looked like. Four years had come and gone and by then Ken had started to forget what everyone looked like. Ken could barely remember what Hikari looked like, the same with Daisuke, his parents, his brother, Tailmon and many of the Digimon that he spent so much time with.

Ken lifted up his head as he tried to push down his weakness. Crying wouldn't do anything. It wouldn't bring them back. It also wouldn't fix the barrier that had once linked the two worlds together. The battle with Death-X-DORUgoramon had caused so many problems, but the biggest one was the complete separation of the two worlds. The Digital World and Human World were completely severed from each other, preventing them from ever going home.

Ken wiped his tears with the back of his sleeves, wishing the pain would go away. He knew he shouldn't feel this way. He had bonded with another Digimon not long ago, a Fanbeemon. It happened purely by accident. He and Hikari had been running in a forest, trying to escape a Digimon that had wanted to use them for some evil purpose when they were saved. They have unknowingly been in the forest that hid the Royal Base. They had been lucky the Digimon were compassionate enough to give them shelter at the base. However, Ken had never expected to bond with another Digimon after the death of his partner.

Ken sighed as he felt the rays of the sun started to hit his face. Ken squinted his eyes, realizing the sun was starting to set. Once again, Ken wished he hadn't forgotten the sunglasses Hikari had given him. It was times like this that his eyes would just be too sensitive to the light.

"There you are!" Ken jumped slightly at the female voice before warm arms wrapped around him in a hug. "We were so worried! Why did you run off?"

Ken relaxed slightly, realizing it was Hikari. "I'm sorry, Hikari. I didn't mean to worry everyone. I just..." Ken felt Hikari pull back a bit, feeling her gaze on his face.

"He wanted to mourn," Fanbeemon said from his spot next to him. Fanbeemon had never left his side, not since the day the bond was formed and the Digimon realized he was blind.

Ken could practically feel Hikari's frown sadly at him. "I miss them too," she said softly. "I know it's been hard the last couple of years." Hikari gently brushed the strand of navy hair that fell between his eyes. "It still feels fresh… like they died yesterday…" Ken nodded slightly, feeling Hikari moving to cuddle next to him. Hikari rested her head on his shoulder, allowing Tailmon and Fanbeemon to settle themselves in his lap, sensing their partners' distress.

"Will it ever go away?" Ken turned his sightless gaze to Fanbeemon, as he unknowingly whispered the question that had been swirling in his head for months.

"No," it was Tailmon who spoke. "The pain will always be there. It still pains to think about them… just like Wizarmon's death." Ken felt Hikari stiffen slightly, her body language suggesting that she was sad. "It still haunts me… but we will get through it."

"Who's Wizarmon?" Ken found himself asking. There would be many times in where Hikari would talk about Tailmon having a friend that she liked at one point before dying at the hands of Vamdemon.

"An old friend," Hikari whispered sadly, causing his heart to ache in his chest.

"He died trying to protect me and Hikari," Tailmon said, her voice filled with emotion.

"What was he like?" Fanbeemon asked curiously. The girls were silent for a moment. Neither one sure how to explain the subject of their old friend to their lovers.

"A hero," Hikari started as she snuggled closer to her blind boyfriend.

"That he was." Tailmon nodded. "Wizarmon was a brave 'mon," Tailmon started, her voice sounding far away. "Even when we were working for Vamdemon, he never lost focus of himself. I envied him for that."

"Oh, Tailmon…" Tailmon's head moved, where it had been resting against his chest.

"No, it's true. I'm not going to deny it. I had been under the influence of Vamdemon for so long that I forgot who I was… and who I was looking for."

Just like me, Ken thought sadly.

"If he hadn't fallen from the sky that day and helped me, Vamdemon probably would have won that day."

This caused Ken's and Hikari's mouths to drop open in shock. "What?!"

Tailmon chucked softly. "I guess I never told you that he isn't from this dimension," she mumbled thoughtfully before her voice took on that faraway sound like she was about to tell a heartwarming story. "There are many worlds and dimensions as you guys may remember."

"Like the World of Darkness and the World of Dreams?" They asked.

"Yes, like those," Tailmon confirmed lightly. "One of these dimensions is called Witchelny. It is a Digital World in another dimension." Ken and Hikari remained silent, too absorbed in the story to even comment, but this didn't stop Fanbeemon from asking questions.

"Why did he leave?"

"He was banished and, as punishment, fell between the barriers and ended up here." Tailmon, seeing the shock and questions written all over their faces. She got herself comfortable before she retold the story of her friend and ex-crush. "Wizarmon had done many things in his life before coming here. He once had a Chosen himself before their bond shattered…" She grimaced slightly, knowing that she had come close to losing Hikari four years ago. "He was born in the Village of Beginnings and, like our world, his caretaker was Elecmon…"
