Chapter 1:Awakening

A woman strode through the corridor of the art museum, her maroon hood covering the top half of her face. She was smiling confidently and the air around her seemed to radiate with evil. She stopped suddenly and turned to face the wall. It seemed, to any normal person, like an ordinary wall, but as she put her hand to it the ancient magical symbols started to glows red and the wall opened in front of her, revealing a set of stairs. Reaching the end of these stairs she came to a small room littered with debris. An epic battle had taken place here three years before, and everybody was too frightened by the room's inhabitants to clean up. The inhabitant was a singles skeleton hanging in the center of the room. A master piece created by the Hikari family many centuries ago. It housed the two most powerful entities known to man: Dark and Krad. It was why she came here, the first step in her plan for revenge. She stood in front of the skeleton and began a low chant. After the spell was complete a glowing ball of energy was released from the artwork. It resembled a purple orb of fire. She looked down at it as it came to settle in her palm.

"Hello, Dark. Its a pleasure to see you again." Her voice was shocking, if anybody would have been around to be shocked. It sounded deep and demonic, but there was a second voice overlaying it. This one was that of a beautiful woman. The ball of energy wavered slightly, indicating that it was indeed surprised by this. She laughed cruelly, "Now, now. No reason to get jumpy. I'm going to use you to get my revenge on the Niwa family. Aren't you lucky?"

She paused a moment to see its reaction, then continued, "Their son means everything to them. Won't it be a shame when he's gone forever?"

She stroked the orb with her finger, taking care to be gentle with its fragile form. If one wasn't too careful the energy could scatter and be lost. She left the museum with the energy orb that was Dark Mousy, caressing it affectionately.

Her next stop was a small house on an ordinary street. Inside slept a 17-year-old boy in his room upstairs. He had red hair and brown eyes and had once know the small soul that the woman carried with her. They had been the same person then. She kicked off from the ground, floating up to the balcony. Entering through the window, she came into the boy's room. He lay sleeping up in his bed, oblivious to what was about to happen. Dark tried to scream, tried to shout at him to wake up and defend himself, but Dark could make no sound, as he was just a soul without a vessel. The woman began her chant once more and Diasuke's soul was drawn from his body. She caught it easily on her palm. She then brought Dark up to eye level and said to him, "Give his parents a message for me, darling. Tell them that the Widow trapped their only son inside Time."

With that she kissed the glowing purple energy and it was fused with the empty body of the boy. She smiled as the boy's appearance faded and became Dark. Then she left out the window and into the night to carry out the rest of her plan. Dark woke, but it was too late. He ran out on to the balcony after her but she had already dissapeared.
