Chapter One: The Light of Death
I sometimes begin to think, was it really worth it? Was it really worth death to save my enemies from what we had all feared? Maybe, I think, that they might not be my enemies anymore, as I pass through death, I begin to see through the darkness of their hearts…I begin to see the light. The light which will save us all, but they must realize it for themselves before they can truly see what it can do. I know this for I am the one who fought the darkness along side my brother and my friends ten years ago…
I looked out across Hollow Bastion. It was in ruins again, but it would be restored just like before and it would become known as Radiant Garden again, I knew this. I knew a lot of things about the future and what was coming. If I had been living, I would not have none these things, but as a spirit who has remained behind to help the others, I learned.
I had died ten years ago. On the day I went out into battle, I was killed brutally. My rivals, my enemies, fled that day. They were human, they were not Heartless, but they worked for the Heartless. That was what I had thought for a long while until I had opened my eyes to it all. I knew instantly that they were not working for the Heartless as they had fled the battlefield that day. They were…being controlled. We, as in, my friends and I, had not known. If we had, we would not have killed most of them.
I had watched with my sword drawn. It had been covered in blood and was dripping onto the torn and slashed earth. Just as I was about to turn, the ground shook beneath me. I had fallen on my knees, I remember. My mind flashed to where this dark figure ripped loose from it's prison underneath the depths of Radiant Garden. I saw it's long, razor sharp claws rip and tear the earth away as it rose.
The group of five that I had fought, who had told me everything, we right in the beast's path. I could hear the beast, I could understand it. It was yelling, screeching that it wanted revenge. It had to kill for that revenge and it wanted a heart. I stood up from where I kneeled over and drug my sword's tip on the broken ground as I raced like lightning towards my friends.
I remembered the scene like it was yesterday. I remember how I had stood in front of the giant black beast and looked it straight in it's horrible red eyes and shouted, "Damn you back to your wretched grave you beast!" In that instant I had raised my sword as it's giant claws came rushing towards me. I could hear it screaming that it wanted my blood spilt, my heart taken. I didn't care because I knew what I was doing. I could here my brother yelling for me to come back, I could sense the darkness in his heart wanting to come at the beast and kill it as I plunged my sword into it's throat.
I shut my eyes tightly as the last vision of my life came to me. I had killed the dark being, yes, but I had not lived. It's claws tore into my side and stomach, ripping through them like white-hot knives. I can still hear myself scream in pain as I was slung into one of the chunks of upturned earth. I had not died instantly either. Instead I remained alive for ten minutes, bleeding and dying.
I had lived to watch the five I had saved give me a horrified look before vanishing into the darkness. I had seen my brother and friends come up to me. I can still remember his voice as he cried for me as I lay there against the broken earth, dying. I was suffering and I remember telling him that it was all over for now. I remember telling him that the darkness, the shadows, were gone. I can't remember anything after that.
So here I am now, standing in Hollow Bastion in the very spot where I had been killed. I wasn't standing fully on my feet as I made my way through the ruins, looking at the people in front of me. They did not see me yet, but I saw them. I was still carrying my sword that was dripping with blood, but the blood was black. I was a ghost, a spirit, stuck in this life until my final death brought me peace.
I went up to the people in front of me as I sensed a very angry presence only a few hundred yards off, but I didn't turn to look. Instead, I made myself solid and able to be seen. I had somehow learned how to do this in the years that past, but I never knew how, it had just happened one day.
Okay, no it's not in this gril's point of view and nor is the rest of the story with 'I'. It is only like this so you can understand why she is like this and I WILL NOT give a name to anybody who requests one (had it happen before) because and ONLY because it comes up in the second chapter. The second chapter is just like all the other chapters on 'The Darkness Within'. Yes I have to full chapter typed up and ready to go on the documents thing, but I won't ubmit it until I get two reveiws.
