Three best friends with one promise; a promise that would bind them together forever and keep them as the best friends they were from the moment they met to the end of their time. Even when they were separated, in battle, or another world away – they were together. The female of the group had produced three matching bracelets – all black and sporting three hearts in a repeating pattern. Through thick and thin, through separation and reunion, the trio was together, united forever.
However, an event pushed them as far away as possible. The formors separated the friends – one traveling the path of darkness, the other two making new friends as they went along to destroy all the Dark Knights and Formors. To create a peaceful world again, to get their best friend back. That's all they wanted, and they were going to get it.
As a battle approached, they reminisced on the times they spent together, and all the playful fights they got in with each other. The darker one had always been in a foul mood, and the white-haired one would always try to cheer him up; though the blonde always ended up helping him. Only when together, they were all happy. Only when together did they feel complete.
In a dark storm, a battle took place. A lone Dark Knight versus the two Paladins.
Unknown to them, the Dark Knight was their lost friend – the friend lost in shadows and darkness. The friend that had fallen into the cracks, and was consumed in darkness.
They didn't know that, and just before they tried to kill him, they noticed the bracelet on the ground.
The friendship bracelet.
Together again, the red-head healed.
Together again, they patched up all wounds in their relationship.
Together again, they were happy and laughing, sharing jokes over a campfire and making fun of each other like nothing had happened.
As if the war was just a joke.
Once best friends, always best friends.
