Welcome back to The Last Warrior of Light! I would like to thank Streamer Dreamer for putting this story as one of their favorites. Also, thank you for giving me the inspiration to write this story from yours: Arc of Light and Arc of Darkness. I'm sure that this story will get better and better soon!
It has already been two weeks that I've never heard anything from Luneth and Refia. Perhaps they are busy, or they are out of town. It wasn't until Arc came to the castle, with a worried face. He was panting with exhaustion; mud stained his clothes from head to toe.
"Arc, what happened to you? Did something happen?" I questioned him. He remained out of breath, so I let him rest for a short while. Arc slept only for one hour, and Sara watched him until he finally wakes up. This time, he woke up in a panic attack, like me whenever I got that nightmare.
"Ingus…I saw Luneth and Refia…in my dream…" He whispered to me. I held him close to my body, but in fear, I'm worried if the nightmare will come true.
"It's okay. It's only a dream. Just tell me what you saw."
In Arc's dream…
"I don't understand…why does it have to be me…?" Arc muttered, the Cloud of Darkness facing him. She flashes a wicked smile on her malicious face. The snakes hissed with a venomous tone embedded in its voice.
"We will not say why you are here, but as always, you're light is something that we require to return all worlds to the Void. We can make a deal: just us… You slay the Child of Light, then we will grant you whatever you want…power, love, anything that your little heart desires…"
"I can't have things like that only by saying a few words. I'm sorry, but I must say no." In that instant, the Cloud of Darkness reveals Luneth and Refia, trapped in crystal. Blood stained their skin and clothing, and…they look lifeless…
"Now, we don't want to hurt you…like what these two fools did. They came here…to protect you and your pathetic friend Ingus. They know something…that they don't want to tell you." She sets the crystal cases onto the starry path that Arc is standing on. He begins to cry miserably, but he can't afford to be a coward.
"Let them go!" Arc shouted. The Cloud of Darkness refused the command. She had her snakes wrap around his body. He starts struggling to break loose, but he was still weak to even escape. "I can't hurt my friend! I'll never do it!"
"Well, if you won't do it," She stops to come closer to Arc… "I'll do it for you!" She then enters Arc's body and forced his soul out…she has taken over him. "Now I'm positive you're obey me…"
Present day…
"Well, I'm sure it has a meaning." Sara then stands up to get some tea for the three of us.
"Ingus, you look a bit surprised. Is something on your mind?" Arc asks me. I was only looking down at my hands…they were trembling with fear. My voice can't say anything, so I just remained silent. But after realizing that in Arc's dream, he became possessed by the Cloud of Darkness. Maybe…my dream and his are connected somehow…? That, I can't tell because my head was in a bog, still trying to figure out this situation.
"…I'm fine. By the way, how are Luneth and Refia? I suppose that they are okay." I might as well as mention my two other friends. Arc blushes pink for a few seconds, and spoke after the color faded.
"Someone saw them dead. It happened on my way here. So…I don't know what happened." While he was speaking, I see him toying with his coat; back then, whenever he does that, he's lying. Even now, he can't help but do that if he's tense. He could have something to do with Luneth and Refia's deaths…
"I'm sure that we can figure it out. Probably we can get off the floating continent and get answers. How's that sound to you?" I try to pretend that I was all right, but still, I can't take the fact that two of our friends are gone…
Call me 'evil', but that's how I want it to go so far. Thank you, once again, Streamer Dreamer for putting this a favorite and for the inspiration! Don't forget to leave a review so I know you are interested in this story. Thank you again for reading!
