August 28, 2008: Okay, never again be indecisive again. (You may want to skip this paragraph if you don't like people talking about self-discovery) I was hesitate about posting this because razorfire is still looking over my previous chapters and I want him to edit this one. But then I got thinking, how would someone see your true writing if someone else were to edit it? People would think you be a perfect writer if you just have a lot of editors editing for you. I personally think, after months of thinking, that I will for now on just post my writings after I write it and check it, and after a story is finish I will ask anyone if they want a "well-edit" copy of the fanfiction by my editor(s) and myself. I want my readers to know HOW I write and how I check. I may be the worse person in the word for grammar and spelling because my brain thinks faster then my hand (or because of my impatient nature, to blame myself so), but I don't like putting up a fake image (or message). Sorry if this is all rant, but I had to say what I got to say.

Pushing that aside, I am very sorry for the late chapter. I am still continuing this story, so don't think I am dead (or a alive quitter). Oh, by the way, Razorfire and maybe someone else is looking over my previous chapters. Razor, I feel so happy that you are taking time to help me out and being a great friend. I am in your mercy. After I complete this story, I will offer email service for those who want the "super-edit" copy by razorfire and myself. I will mention this again at the last chapter.

Enjoy Chapter 7!

XII: The Light of the Past

"You know, I have always wonder who the idiot was that made Wattson and Brawly gym leaders." Tate mumbles. Walking a few feet behind him, Wallace nods his head.

"That idiot must be kicking himself as we speak." Wallace replies.

The psychic twin and the Hoenn champion are on their way to the highest cliff of Lilycove that leads them to the beach. Back the hotel, about 25 minutes ago, Wallace was able to use the incident as an excuse to make their exit from the hotel. Being quick to his toes, the champion told the maids that he'd go with Tate to find him temporary clothes and to "cool off." If Juan weren't focusing on fighting Drake for Glacia's hand for the dance, he would applaud him well.

"The weather is fairly nice tonight." Tate spoke, pulling Wallace out of his flashbacks. They were walking on a grassy hill. The grasses glisten in the full moonlight that one could mistake the grass as hair.

"Wish our situation would be just as fairly nice…" Wallace mention while Tate nods, "So, where to Tate?"

"It's right up here." Tate said, pointing up. Following his finger, Wallace saw at the top of the hill was a huge boulder. But to his dismay, there was a lit-up house about 20 feet away from where their destination is.

"You said that the boulder would be out of public sight." Wallace said, not please. Tate turn his head to face Wallace. Following the water trainer's glance, Tate spots the house too.

"Aw, don't worry about that." Tate said, putting on a smile on his face, "A old couple live there. They can't see that far-"

"Tate! Just because they are old, doesn't mean they're blind!" Wallace interrupts.

"Are you that worry about getting caught nude?" Tate asks, "You are cover in bandages too, last time I check."

"I have a reputation, Tate. "

"Funny how you say that." Tate said, raising his eyebrow to challenge the champion. Wallace shot Tate a confuse look.

"What do you- " Wallace pause, finally getting what Tate is saying, "Okay, seriously why am I the one getting attack?"

"Well, " Tate pause to think of words to put together, " According to what the story is, you were only five minutes into being the new champion of Hoenn and you had to get smash by Tentacruel. I think the reason is pretty straight forward, if you ask me."

An alarm rang in Wallace's brain.

"But I was able to wore the jellyfish down a lot. There was also a Houndoom that Maxie has as well." Wallace explains. Tate narrows his eyes at Wallace, studying the water trainer.

"Okay, but then why did you let your self be the bait? That's what we don't understand." Tate explains, replacing the studious look with confusion. Wallace felt his brain raising a red flag.

"No way I can let them know…" Wallace thought, searching for a way out of this one. Wallace was a man whose honestly is second nature to him. But Wallace didn't want people to start firing questions at Winona.

"How can I remember why when I'm being smash into rocks?" Wallace asks, lifting his chin up. Tate frowns for a bit.

"You got a point there." Tate said. The two trainers are within ten feet of the huge boulder.

"So, we strip here?" the champion ask, scanning the area cautiously with his one eye.

"Yep." Tate responds, walking behind the boulder, "I'll strip back here."

"You seem confident, Tate." Wallace spoke, not getting over how Tate is being causal.

"…I-it wasn't easy for me at first." Tate reply a little broke in his voice, "But really, Wallace, it's not bad. Don't you want to recover quicker?"

Wallace's eyes widen, recalling why he's here.

"Yes, I do."

"Then you may strip for better health."

"T-Tate!" the champion exclaims, blushing madly. Wallace heard the psychic trainer slightly giggle from the boulder. Wallace begins to tap his foot, to signal his annoyance.

"The sooner I recover, the quicker I can redeem myself." Wallace thought, staring at the boulder.

"Done!" Tate announces, breaking Wallace's thoughts like a knife. As if Archie were alive again, Wallace's whole body tenses up like stone. What's with the confidence?!

"Relax, I got a towel." Tate calls out, emerging. Wallace was prepare to shield his one eye from seeing a comrade nude, but once the word "towel" reach his ears:

"Towel?!" Wallace repeats after Tate, "You should had warn me!"

"Oh, I thought I did. Sorry about that!" Tate apologizes, grinning nervously, "Sorry if you been all worry about seeing me…er…."

"So that's why he was confident…." Wallace gloomily thought, as he mourns the years of his life loss from all the worrying. His face felt flush from all the worrying and embarrassment. Wallace places his palm on his forehead, hoping to tone down the pressure.

"It's alright. " Wallace muttered, "I think I can handle it now…"

Wallace shifts his eye to Tate. From all that has been happening from the last couple of minutes, he didn't see what Tate was actually wearing. Tate was, of course, cover in a towel waist and below. But it was his hair that caught Wallace's eye.

"You grow your hair?" Wallace asks, curious at the dark navy hair. Tate's hair was release from his tradition look of a bun. The hair almost touches the boy's shoulders. From being in a bun, Tate's hair had volume. If it weren't for being well manner, Wallace would have laugh at him. Tate looks like a girl- or Liza for that matter.

"Yes, it's real hair, thank you very much. "Tate said, as if reading Wallace's mind.

"Now you look like Liza." Wallace points out, smirking.

"Look, are you going to strip or not?" Tate asks, avoiding the joke, "We are on a schedule here."

Wallace chuckles to himself. Tate and Liza hate when people make fun of them as being twins.

"Okay." Wallace answers, walking past Tate. Tate glances over his shoulder to watch Wallace going behind the huge boulder.

"In the bushes, there is a place for your clothes. Below the bushes should be the towels." Tate said, "I'll wait for you here, but make it quick, okay?"

Wallace studies the area around the boulder where he is supposing to strip. The area is pretty enclosed: the bushes are high enough to block anyone that would attempt to peak in. Satisfy with the privacy, Wallace began to carefully take off his clothing. The muscles that were badly injured start to flame when he had to use them; especially when they had to be lift up.

The champion had difficulty of getting his shirt off because of his arm in the slang, since it also uses his injured upper body to take the shirt off. With the shirt off, his chest was still cover up- in bandages. His pants weren't a problem, since he knew how to slip them off without bending down. Luckily for him, nothing below the hip was injured. He took off his cap, exposing the hidden hair. The aqua hair flop downs, reaching just about midneck. Despite the bandages on his head, his hairstyle didn't change at all.

After discarding his clothes, Wallace felt the breeze flowing onto the areas of his body that were not cover with bandages. Even with bandages, he shivers and rubs his arms to warm himself up. Even when alone, he felt uncomfortable nude.

"There was one time, however…" He thought, closing his eyes. He remember those delicate fingers exploring his body, as if wings were gliding on his skin. His skin tickle in pleasure in response to those fingers, as if responding to pure light. Her lips gently kiss his own, the lavender locks toss into him as a blanket. The look of her eyes, very cautiously and yet curious in one mixture, scan all over him innocently. His own eyes would want to drown into hers, wanting her to explore his entire sacred grounds that he guarded so heavily. His heart would claw to be with hers, desperate to melt together. In the darkness they were in, they were creating their own light, a light that would been theirs alone.

"Hey, Wallace, you alright back there? Your awfully quite." Tate call out, interrupting Wallace's images. Wallace suddenly felt the temperature going downhill, from extreme heat to the night cold. His warm light was gone, replacing back with reality. He woke up from his memory, letting his body shiver again from the light breezes of the night.

"Yeah, just fell sleepy for a second." Wallace respond, faking a causal tone. The night felt more colder now then it was before loosing himself into the cherish memory. The only time he felt confident about his own being.

He found the towels where Tate said they were to be. Covering his waist and down with the towels, Wallace began to feel uncomfortable being expose again.

"Some things need to be sacrifice in order to get these bandages off." Wallace remind himself, as he emerge from the boulder. Tate, who was sitting on the grass making grass braids, looks up- and then laugh. Wallace felt a vain pop in his forehead in his annoyance.

"What is it now?!" Wallace demand, having no energy for patience.

"Are you sure your alive Wallace? You look as if you came back from the dead as a mummified pharaoh!" Tate crack up, laughing. Wallace actually blink and exam himself. Tate was right, with the bandages covering him and having a towel on his waist, he did look like dead pharaoh.

"What an interesting observation, Tate." Wallace said, sarcastically. Tate calm down, wiping the tears that were coming out of his eyes.

"Sorry, but I couldn't help it." Tate apologize, "Anyway, let's go."

Wallace sigh and follow the psychic twin down the ledge that supposedly leads to the beach. When the ocean was at sight, Wallace watch as the waves dance in the moonlight- and the red dots sparkle within.

"Those must be the Starmies and Staryus, right?" Wallace ask Tate. Tate nod.

"A sublime sight to witness. Even when everything is destroy by the titans, they left a unique beauty for us to witness." Tate explains, "It's like if they are saying sorry or something like that."

Wallace nod, impress with Tate's insights. He watch as the red lights dance with blue pigment of the ocean.

"As if the sparkling red jewels of rubies within the deep blue ocean of sapphires." Wallace suddenly thought, having the two trainers in mind when he stares into the scene. The one of passion and the one of inner strength, he always thought. Wallace felt someone poking him on his undamaged arm. Looking down, he was face to face with Tate.

"Yes?" Wallace ask.

"We still have to cross the beach." Tate told him. Wallace nods and then continue to follow Tate down the hill.

"The sand is hot, so be careful." Tate warn him, as they close in to the sands of Lilycove. Wallace arch a perfect eyebrow.

"The sand was affect too?" He ask.

"Yep, that's why they close the beach for a while. But I think we can handle it-" Tate spoke as he jump off the last ledge into the beach sand, "- as long as we run."

"Okay- Owe!"

Wallace winch in pain when his bare foot came into contact with the sand. The sand felt like flames to him; as if the sand were the grill and Wallace were the Cinnabar Burger.

"And if my boots didn't suffer rug burns from Steven earlier today." He thought.

"Isn't it hot? It's hotter then Flannery overheating the showers!" Tate call over his shoulders, running ahead of the Hoenn Champion, "Just follow me and don't stop- unless you want to be a roost Psyduck."

"Wait up!" Wallace call out, holding his towel tightly with his free hand, and ran after the male twin. Even it is night and the air is cool, the sand felt like needles to his feet. Even when no one around, he felt completely silly running around only in a towel and bandages- or as a dead pharaoh as Tate call him earlier.

"If someone sees me in this, Steven would be dead before he opens his mouth." Wallace thought, seeing Steven never going to shut up about it if he were to heard about it, "Best he to be shot then heard."

Within 10 minutes of running, Wallace saw Tate heading to a huge group of boulders that were at the end of beach. Shifting his eyes to the ocean, he quickly spot the group of huge boulders off the coast where Tate is. According to Flannery and Wattson, this was suppose Team Aqua's hideout. They, along with Winona, found a professor that had discover the meteorite- a piece of it was obtain by Sapphire and was use to blast Archie and Maxie out of the controlling the orbs.

"Over here!" Tate call out, peeking over a rock. Wallace saw him and ran towards him.

"No need to run anymore, it's cool here." Tate inform him as Wallace jump into a platform like rock. Wallace's feet happily rejoice at the feeling of cool surface after dealing with scorching sand for the last 10 minutes.

"So, where is it?" Wallace ask. Tate grin and made a hand signal to follow him. The water trainer follow Tate into the clutter of boulders. Inside, there was a uneven hallway and because of his tall height, Wallace had to bend down slightly. His injuries scream in pain as he try to follow Tate.

"There we are!" Tate said, pointing to a blanket of leaves that cover an entrance. Wallace suddenly felt a heat breeze coming through the leaves. He felt the temptation- like he need to run in there and jump into the warm water.

"Let's go!" Tate happily announce as he enter the blanket. Feeling the scene of accomplishment that he will be able to relax, Wallace lift the blanket- and then have something fly into him.

"OW!" Wallace let out, as the something – or someone- made impact at his ribs. Wallace fell on his butt onto the hard ground – which didn't give a pleasant feeling- and his ribs start to throb in pain. Feeling all annoy about he is always getting hurt, he was about to holler when the object of his recent pain spoke happily:

"OH! MASTER!"

Wallace halt and look down. Smiling widely at him, was Wallace's student, Ruby. The 11-year boy's hat and towel – to Wallace's relief- was slightly out of place from the collision. Wallace slightly grin at his student, wondering when did he became this excite and hyper.

"For a second there, I though you were Sapphire." He told Ruby, getting up. He was still in pain, thanks to Ruby. But with the steam of the bath touching him, he didn't want to go scolding at him when something pleasant is up ahead. Ruby blush brightly at the comment in embarrassment.

"Oh! Sorry about that, the heat has gotten to me." Ruby said quickly.

"And so it seems." Wallace reply, knowing that Ruby was excite to see him. Ruby then tilt his head.

"Wow, Tate's right, you do look like a mummified pharaoh." Ruby comment. Wallace sigh.

"So, can we go?" Wallace ask his student.

"Sure thing!" Ruby said, grabbing his master by the free arm and drag him, "The hot springs are lovely!"

"Ruby! Can you let me go?!" Wallace ask, strangling to free himself. But he then pause when Ruby drag him into the next room. There, placing before the water trainer, was a huge pool of heat water. Some waterfalls were coming out of crack rocks, making it a heavenly scene. Wallace notice that in the pool that there was Ruby and Tate's pokemon in the water. At one corner, Coco and Nana –Ruby's Delcatty and Mightynna- are laying the shallow area of pools. Ruby's Swampert- Zuzu- and Tate's Solrock were playing around in the middle of the pool. Popo- Ruby's Castform- was floating on the water with Tate's Spoink, enjoying each other's company near Coco and Nana. At the opposite corner of the four-legged pokemon, Ruby's Milotic- Mimi- was relaxing underneath a waterfall.

"Wow…" Wallace was lost for words. The scene was too beautiful to even summon words from the champion. Staring into the waterfalls, Wallace came to a realization.

"Shoot! I forgot my pokemon!-"

"Don't worry! Got them here!" Tate interrupt from behind the two trainers. Spinning around, Wallace was greet with a outstretch hand containing four ultra balls with his pokemon in them. Wallace relax.

"Thanks. But you should had told me earlier…" Wallace said, picking his pokeballs up from Tate- who apologize for not mention about it.

"Fun time, everyone!" Wallace call out, tossing his four poke balls into the air gracefully. Four balls crack open in midair, releasing his team of pokemon. The first one was his Sealeo- Franscio. Right away, he jumps into the game that Zuzu and Solrock were playing, happily. Zuzu and Franscio high-five each other at the process. The next one, Charles- his Seaking, swam to Mimi and just relax next to her in the waterfall. Mimi edge over a bit so Charles can have some of the waterfall. Wallace's Whiscash- Phillip- swam to Coco and Nana and plot himself next to them. The three of them then watch the last of Wallace's pokemon- Elizabeth the Luvdisc- float her way to Popo and Spoink. Elizabeth join in their little float circle and start to talk to each other. The three trainers smile proudly at the sight behold them.

"Seeing pokemon play each other is like watching your own children playing with each other." Tate suddenly spoke, "It's so…calming."

"It is." Ruby and Wallace agreed, nodding in the process. But then Wallace flinch.

"Own children?!" Wallace ask, blushing. Ruby just gave a speechless glance at a random object. Tate look at the two trainers with confusion.

"What? Aren't we raising our pokemon to be the best they can be? Is that what we wish?" Tate question, eyeing the two trainers. Wallace though about it for a second.

"I guess so." Wallace said, smiling to himself as he look into the waterfalls.

Tate and Ruby then stare at Wallace with an odd expression.

"Well…" Tate broke in, "Guess we can go into our pool now."

Wallace turn around to face the psychic trainer.

"Our pool?" he ask Tate. Ruby and Tate nod.

"There are three pools that were create by Groudon, so we decide to split it." Ruby began, "The largest one is here is for the pokemon only."

As to illustrate his explanation, Ruby extend his arm to the pool.

"The one that leads to an enclose area, " Ruby continue, pointing to the path near Coco, Nana, and Phillip, "-is where we males go. As for the last one…"

Ruby and Tate shift their glances to the path next to Mimi and Charles.

"-Its for the females. Since the person who found it first was female, she claim the pool with the view of the ocean and Lilycove as theirs." Ruby warp up. Wallace eyes shift to Ruby from the path to the female springs.

"Who was the one who discover this place?" Wallace ask. Ruby and Tate gave each other a sadden expression and face Wallace with the same expression.

"We're not allow to tell; we can't risk on letting this place be discover-"

"Especially Flannery." Tate add to Ruby's explanation. Wallace flinch. He doesn't know why, but somehow if Flannery were to get her hands on this place, it would be the end of the world of hygiene.

Sharing Wallace's thought, Ruby nod.

"I would kill Flannery if it weren't for this place. I mean, how much heat does women need in general? We men do need it as much as them-"

While Ruby rants on, Tate pull Wallace at the side.

"Ruby was in the shower when Flannery overheat the pipes earlier today. He went berserk when the cold hits and destroy the bathroom in order to find a way to heat the water." Tate whisper to the champion. Wallace groan.

"So that's why Norman was mad about Ruby and his bedroom." Wallace mumble. Figures his student would do anything to be heat and clean- even if it means to tick his gym leader father off. The three trainers walk to the path where it leads them to the male springs. On the way, Wallace notice something odd about Ruby's appearance.

"Why are you still wearing your hat?" Wallace ask, pointing to the white cap that the boy always wore on his head. Ruby glance over his shoulders to his teacher.

"I'm use to wearing it 24/7." Ruby replied in no hesitation, as if rehearse. Wallace frown. For a boy who is concern about his clothes getting ruin, he doesn't take hat off.

"Makes you wonder if he ever washes his hair." Wallace thought, shivering at the disgust thought. The three males enter the room. Right away, Wallace was remind of his hometown, Sootpolis: The room was all enclose and there was no roof- only fill of stars on the night sky.

"It's like a mini-Sootpolis." Wallace whisper. Ruby nod.

"I never really got to experience Sootpolis because of the events, but I knew somehow you would like it." Ruby replied, smiling at his teacher. Wallace smile back.

"Thank you." Wallace told Ruby.

"Let's get in! I want to relax already!" Tate said, stripping off the towel. Wallace flinch at Tate's sudden action. Ruby laugh at his teacher stun reaction.

"Master, aren't we all men?" Ruby ask, "It's not like Tate is actually Liza trying to see what men are really like."

"Very funny Ruby!" Tate respond, jumping into the pool. As if plan, the water splash right on Wallace and Ruby.

"Hey!" Ruby call out, narrowing his eyes at the laughing psychic while Wallace just shook his head to get the water out of his ears.

"I'm just worry about the age difference…" Wallace thought, knowing that he is the only one out of the three who had gone through puberty. Turning around to fall the wall, he let the towel drop to the ground. Wallace slide into the pool. The water felt very nice to him. His whole body felt relax, as if it melt into the water.

"Be hold! I am the future contest master that would out shine everyone else. I am Ruby!" Ruby announce, placing his hands on his hips. Wallace regret for turning around to see what's Ruby's up too- Ruby had discard his towel.

"Ruby, I hope you don't do this at public places." Wallace told him, remembering his own reputation and his responsible of Ruby's training in contests. Ruby wink at his teacher.

"Are you that scare of seeing people naked?" Ruby taunt, "Isn't being a coorindator about expressing your hidden beauty?"

Wallace look at Ruby for a second, scenting his pride being challenge.

"Yes, your hidden beauty is what a coorindator is. And no, I am not afraid to see people naked." Wallace lecture, carefully choosing his words. Tate eyes shine with curiosity at Wallace.

"Who did you see naked?" Tate ask suddenly.

"Win-" Wallace stop mid-word and blush madly. His face turn deep red as Volbeat. Images of the answer start to flash through his head. Ruby and Tate both had their full attention on the water trainer.

"…When you two are older, you will understand about what men and woman do." Wallace quickly, using the first thing he could think of. Tate eye Wallace closely, as if trying to read his mind.

"Okay." Tate said, sending shivers to Wallace's spine. Wallace hopes he didn't read his mind.

"So how was your day, Tate?" Ruby ask, sliding into the pool. Wallace mentally thank Ruby for breaking the tension by smiling at him. Tate scratch his head.

"Well, Flannery broke the pipes-"

"That's nothing new. " Ruby cut in.

"So, Flannery, Wattson, and I went to call the head for suggestions for what to do next. But he hang up once he saw us-"

"You mean Flannery in a towel." Wallace interrupt, pitying the admin to be greet that way, "Sorry for interrupting, Tate. You may continue."

"And then there was that bucket incident…" Tate mutter. Ruby gave a confuse look.

"Bucket incident?" He ask, turning to his master. Wallace gave in immediately and told Ruby what happen on the way here.

"Orange soda?!" Ruby exclaim after Wallace finish telling the tale, "If that were to happen to me, Brawly will never see a the light of surfing again!"

"Don't worry about it Ruby, Brawly is already in trouble." Wallace explain, calming his student, "He has to pay for everything he ruin, including the clothes and hotel property."

"You're just happy because you don't have to pay for the door." Tate point out, smirking.

"But who's the champion?" Wallace ask Tate. Tate roll his eyes.

"Of course, our unbreakable toy champion-"

"Didn't you say you ask Liza out?" Wallace interrupt, not wanting another round a name-calling.

"Oh! " Tate continue, " I decide to hang out with Liza and practice dancing for the dance coming up. I think all my toes are flatten by the time we were done."

As to true his misfortune, his foot emerge from the water. His toes look swollen and beat up.

"Put that away!" Ruby call out in disgust as Tate put his foot back underwater. Wallace grin at Tate.

"At least you're practicing." Wallace told Tate, being encouraging. Ruby raise an eyebrow.

"Why did you ask Liza out?" Ruby ask. Tate grin in reply.

"I know it may sound bizarre that I'm going with my older twin sister. But the truth is, I ask her because she is my sister. I mean, what's wrong with going out as siblings or friends?" Tate explain, "After we been through together, we need a time to enjoy ourselves and be grateful of what we have and become."

Wallace replay Tate's words carefully.

Wallace then picture Winona in his head, and their relationship right now.

"Tate's right." Wallace thought, flashing through the rough times Winona and himself went through together, "I should enjoy of what we had accomplish together. Even it's not romantic, it's still being with her…"

"Did you ask anyone out, Ruby?" Tate ask, catching Wallace's ear. Wallace watch Ruby's mouth form to a smirk.

"I'm looking, alright." He reply. Wallace then remember Ruby's story about a girl he save when he was a boy. Remembering Ruby's facial expressions, Wallace saw how Ruby really did care about the girl who influence him to become a coorindator.

"I wonder if he's still looking for her now." He thought, remembering him mention that the girl came from Hoenn. But somehow, as Wallace look at Ruby, Ruby look as if he found her rather then looking.

"Master, who are you asking out to the dance?" Ruby suddenly ask, snapping Wallace out of his thoughts.

Right away, Winona's image pop into his mind. Of course, he will ask her. But the worry is: How?

"I don't know." Wallace reply, putting his hands up signaling his unknown status, "Not that I should be worry about."

"Best if I let it be between Steven and myself." Wallace thought. He doesn't want anyone else to be on his case about Winona and him. How he would ask her would be up to him. But it's not going to be tonight.

"Can we just relax now? I don't think we have much time left." Wallace add on, before either of the boys open their mouths. Ruby gasp.

"Your right! I haven't start doing my bath routine!" Ruby panic as he start scrubbing himself with a brush while Tate sweatdrop at the scene. Wallace took a deep breath and lay his back on to the wall in the pool; letting the warming water doing it's relaxing magic.

"I been through one heck of a day." Wallace thought, replaying all the drama that has been happening to him today. He was able to survive a therapy, a Fake out attack, being drag, being bump, seeing people only in towels, being thrust through a door, and having cravings for the woman he loves.

"Makes you wonder how I was able to pull it off alive." Wallace conclude his thoughts before closing his eyes and replay the warmth he deeply craves.


Since I am a major Kingdom Hearts/Final Fantasy (and recently returning Ancient Egypt season of Yugioh) fan, I throw in light and darkness references in Wallace's memory. I love the theme of light and darkness. You can play with it, or you can destroy it- the ideas are endless with that theme. I highly suggest if you need to spice something up in writing, think of light and darkness.

Again, as always, you don't have to review. Not going to bite you.

I don't have a clue when Chapter 8 would be finish, so until then, see you!
