Darkness…
Everyone believes it to be evil. I've been here for so long, and so many times, I've found myself about to fade into it.
But even in the deepest Darkness, there is always a Light. So what about Light? If the Light is too bright, is Darkness to let us see in it?
…
Ven, Terra, Master, please forgive me. I've failed all of you.
Master, I promised to bring Terra back, but I couldn't.
Ven, I don't know if I'll be there to see you wake up again.
Terra, I couldn't free you from Master Xehanort's hold.
And now, others are sad because of it. People are suffering and the worlds are struggling to stay out of the Darkness and in the Light.
It's been like this for almost ten years, and thinks looked bleak. Looked.
At first I was worried, but three Keyblade wielders came to fight it. And they won, and the worlds are back to normal. Things seemed right again, as a balance was restored.
But a new source of Darkness rose up, and it was different. It carried with it a powerful Light, and they fought back to back. I can use my powers…or what's left of them…and I could learn a bit about him.
He can use Keyblades. Two of them. One of Light and one of Darkness. He cares deeply for his friends. Maybe that's why he hasn't lost himself.
I couldn't get his name though. If I could though, it wouldn't matter.
Maybe…he is the proof that Light and Darkness exist together in balance. A way to fight for Light from the shadows.
Terra…is that what you were trying to do? Become a warrior of Light…from the shadows?
I wish…I only knew…maybe…things would be different.

Ventus – Kingdom Hearts Birth By Sleep)
…When does a dream enter reality?
I've been facing this issue ever since the world was saved a few months ago. I keep on seeing his face and he keeps on telling me, "Give in to the Darkness. Let it consume you."
I've noticed changes in myself. Everyone has. Especially Spyro. He says I've become more aggressive, more violent. I feel scared for myself, and everyone around me.
But, about two weeks ago, the dream changed to…something else. Three humans looking out to a starry sky, holding star-shaped charms, talking about their dreams. The blue haired one said that the charms were good-luck, and that they were called Wayfinders.
"Somewhere out there, there's this tree with star-shaped fruit, and the fruit represents an unbreakable connection. So as long as you and your friends carry good luck charms shaped like it, nothing can ever drive you apart. You'll always find your way back to each other." That's what the blue haired girl said.
The next day, I remember she said they were supposed to be made of seashells. I don't think the others felt safe with me leaving, so I grabbed on of the books from the library in the Temple, and gathered a few materials to make my own Wayfinders, a purple one for Spyro, and a black one for me. An unbreakable connection…that's what we share. No doubt.
"Did you…really make these?" He asked when I showed him.
"Yeah." I responded to him. "I saw them in a dream." We stood under a starry sky in Warfang, the perfect place to give them to him.
"All of those stars are different worlds, and each one has different characteristics. One of them has a tree with star-shaped fruit, and they represent an unbreakable connection. When we carry good luck charms shaped like it, we can never be driven apart, and we will always come back to each other."
"Really?" He asked me.
"Who knows…I think I believe it. Dreams are powerful after all."
After that, he stopped appearing in my dreams. I saw more about Terra, Ventus and Aqua – I learned that's what they were called – and seeing what they went through, up to the very point to Aqua, wandering in the realm of Darkness. I woke up, crying after that. It was to strange to be fiction, but why did I dream it? Why me?
Since that week, Spyro wore the Wayfinder as a necklace and kept it with him at all times. It made my heart soar that he loved it so much, I think more so because I made it. I wore mine the same way, just to show that nothing will drive us apart. Ever.
Things got stranger after that dream.
I went to sleep a few nights ago, and found myself standing on this large stained glass pillar…with me on it. Against a dark grey background. Spyro was a prominent feature, appearing as a purple silhouette behind my picture. It was too strange, so I looked up, and got an even bigger shock.
Above me was another stained glass pillar, one colored silver, with a large picture of a human with long silver hair on one side, and a…I guess the most accurate color description would be a platinum color for the dragon on the other side, with a dark grey underbelly and wing membranes. He had all of this images in the upper center of different people, I guess they were close to him.
Right in the center, the boy stood there. He crouched and jumped, a bright silver light engulfing him as he "fell" wings and a tail forming. Before I knew it, he stood on my picture, on his hind legs, and his silver eyes.
Something was off about him. I could feel Darkness pouring out of him, but he didn't feel evil, or hateful, or anything negative, except for maybe sadness.
"Who are you?" I asked him.
"Well, I could ask you the same question." He responded. I couldn't help but laugh at that.
"Fair enough. I'm Cynder."
"Dasuke. Dasuke Sernos." He looked at me long and hard, and moved his paw over to my Wayfinder and gently held hit in his claws.
"An unbreakable connection…" He said. He sounded…sad. I wanted to know why.
"You know?" I asked a little surprised.
"About the tree with star-shaped fruit? Yeah, I think the world's called Destiny Islands. It's supposed to be small and peaceful. I…wish my world was like that." He looked sad as well. He must have a horrible history. He looked back at me.
"Just remember, Light always rest in Darkness, just as Darkness always sleeps in Light. To use one, you must know how to use the other." He said.
"Why are you telling me this?"
"I can feel your heart. It's struggling with the Darkness inside it. Just remember what I said. Follow the Light. It'll keep you safe, even if you find yourself swallowed in the Darkness." He jumped up and "fell" to his own image again. A bright light filled my eyes and the next thing I knew, I was back where I fell asleep.
I ran a paw to my eyes that day, and I wiped away tears. I don't remember why I cried, but I laid there, and I did just that. I cried.
I think Spyro came by. I don't know, or remember. All I remember was a voice asking me what was wrong. I didn't answer, and felt someone's wing fall over me. It must have been him…Yes. I remember, I saw the Wayfinder I made him.
The dreams about the Dark Master started again, but I remembered what Dasuke told me. I held on to my light, and I was able to sleep in peace, despite the dreams.
Yet, I felt things were going to get worse. Much worse.
It's a different start, and I think it works better!
REVIEWS BLESS ME!
