Silent Night

Silent night, holy night
All is calm, all is bright
Round yon virgin mother and child
Holy infant, so tender and mild
Sleep in heavenly peace
Sleep in heavenly peace

I looked at Sora and saw her cradling Kari's unconscious form in her arms. She was truly beautiful that way, for she was meant to be a mother from the day she was born. In a way, she was Kari's mom. She took care of Kari in the Digiworld with as much tenderness as Mom did at home. Her Crest of Love was never brighter than when she was like this. I guess because this was when she was closest to her true self. Sora stroked Kari's hair and whispered, Sleep well, Kari. You've earned it.

Silent night, holy night
Shepherds quake at the sight
Glories stream from heaven afar
Heavenly hosts sing
Christ the savior is born
Christ the savior is born

What had happened on this day? What had made the Numemon bow down before her and declare her their queen? What was it about Kari that brought out the best, truest side of people? Sora was a positive mother hen in taking care of her. Half the time my courage was inspired by the desire to protect her. And anyone could see that TK truly cared about her, even at this young age. He always put a better face on everything when she was around, so he could protect her hope.

Silent night, holy night
Son of God, love's pure light
Radiant beams from thy holy face
With the dawn of redeeming grace
Jesus, Lord at thy birth
Jesus, Lord at thy birth

Some would say that the answer was her light. But that's too simplistic an answer. Strange, isn't it, for me to say that something is too simplistic? After all, I'm usually considered the dumb one of the group. And I must admit that I've done plenty to earn that title. But if I'm to be a good leader, I need to wise up, and fast. I've only just realized that now that Kari's around. Chalk it up to another side effect of her light. So. Where did it come from? Maybe it's a manifestation of her care for others, her perfect altruism even at risk to herself. Yes, that's obvious to everyone. If that's what her light is, then that would explain why we try to be our best in front of her. We see how she is and want to be the same way ourselves. Her light inspires us to be Light ourselves, to be that same inspiration to others. That makes sense. Weird, isn't it, for me to be making up theories like Izzy? But Light is all the crests. So if I want to be a Guardian of Light, I need to branch out into things besides reckless courage. Such as Knowledge. Izzy can be courageous if he wants to.
