Author Note: Just a plot I thought about at like two o'clock in the morning, thought I'd write it out, and I'm quite proud of how this begins. Hope you enjoy, and remember, reviews make me smile!

Such a sweet child… oh, I see how innocent his life could have been!
Destiny is a strange thing and I grieve for you, child.
A shame, a pity, that you were captured by it.
You could've been so happy, your life could've been without so much pain.
I've watched you grown, watched you learn and travel.
The woman knelt by his bed, her silky white robes floating around her as smoothly as the words she spoke in a distant chilling whisper.
Her midnight black hair swam through the air and forged a sea of night around her head as her pale blue eyes softened.
An unearthly pure fog settled in the small Earth Kingdom room and swirled in circles around the boy and the woman and picked up speed.
She placed a hand on his forehead and took a breath, smiling to the heavens as she did so for now she would finally finish what she started.
A gift, child.
I will give you back your innocence.
Even the past Avatars cannot do anything to halt the progress, for it has already started.
No more will nightmares haunt you.
Sleep well, child.
And remember my name, for I am the one who has given you this gift.
I am the Spirit of childhood, the protector of innocence, the giver of life, the thorn in the rose, the poison on the dart, the one who waits in the twilight.
I am Voyia, and you have been blessed, dearest child.
A bright light enveloped the boy in his bed and for a moment his face turned in pain and fear as his spirit tried to fight her hold on him.
But unconscious, he was no match for a spirit.
His once ragging heart came to complete clam.
Her endowment settled over his mind and the darkest shadows receded and gave up their young victim.
She gently kissed the temple of his head, a teasing smirk on her face.
It was over.
The fogged cleared, and the spirit disappeared into the night.
