A New Life
AN: Hey guys, this idea has been on my mind ever since I finished NiGHTS: Journey of Dreams. A warning, this takes place AFTER the game is over. So don't read unless you want to be spoiled. Enjoy.
Whitness, that was all against his eyes right now. All that was on his mind right now was, 'where am I?' and 'what happened to me?' But the whiteness did nothing to answer his question. He tried to look through his mind looking for some kind of answer, but he got little or no answer.
As he searches his mind for answers he hears two voices speak. One was a boys voice, "NiGHTS. . . .thank you." Another was a little girls voice, "Thank you, NiGHTS, Thank you." He could have sworn he heard sniffles coming from them. 'NiGHTS', he asked himself, 'Is that my name?' Then it all came back to him, his creation, his evil master Wizeman, his betrayal, and his adventures. He even now knew where he was, with help from Will and Helen, he managed to defeat Wizeman, but the cost was his own life, since Wizeman made him, if he goes, he would go with him. 'So', said NiGHTS to himself, 'Am I dead, is this what happens to all creatures in the Land of Dreams when they go?'
Just as he asked that, the whiteness started turning to black. 'What is happening to me now', asked NiGHTS to himself. "NiGHTS", came a voice, a familiar voice. "NiGHTS is that really you?" NiGHTS got confused and again heard the voice say, "NiGHTS wake up, please wake up!" Then to NiGHTS' own surprise, he opened his eyes and found a familiar flying owl flying over him.
"O- owl!?", said NiGHTS. NiGHTs then sat up and looked around. He was back at the dream gate and he also found out he had a big headache. "Ow, where am I? What happened?" He then remembered. "Wizeman! Will and Helen and we. . ."
"Yes NiGHTS, thanks to you and those two visitors, Wizeman has been defeated", said Owl.
NiGHTS said, "But I thought Nightmarians have to go with him since he made them all."
Owl just hooted in laughter. "NiGHTS, you had something that no Nightmarian had and did what no Nightmarian did. You had the will and the sense to do something right, and you stood up against your very master to do the right thing. Somehow Nightopia has recognized your valor and managed to. . .save you."
"Save me", asked NiGHTS astonished, "But how, the only way I could still be here is if. . . I am no longer a Nightmarian.", said NiGHTS.
"Exactly", said Owl. "Somehow you are something between a Nightopian and a Nightmarian now. I can't explain it, but that is what you are."
NiGHTS smiled at this and he couldn't help but Paraloop in joy about this. Not only did he rid himself of Wizeman, and help two children, but he was free, free to roam Nightopia like one of it's own.
As he soared around the Dream Gate he looked at himself in the fountain. He looked the same only some of his purple features looked a bit lighter. He smiled at this and continued his flight.
As he flew he started to think it was not only Nightopia who saved his light, he also thought it may have been the will of the two children he helped before. It could have been, after all, friendship is a powerful thing, even in the World of Dreams.
"Will", said NiGHTS, "Helen, thank you."
AN: Yes, I believe NiGHTS didn't really die. Can't really explain it, but, I just know, it's just a feeling. Hope you enjoyed my story.
