Disclaimer- I do not own Rune Factory or it's characters. I do however own my OC Atra and this story.

Sooooo...yeah. Got report cards today in school. I was too tired to stay for the last period so I don't know my mark for construction technology but i did get 80% in business and science and got 83% in foods. I wish i could have done better...Moving on. So now the POV isn't always going to be Atras.

Chapter 10 - Solis

(Winter 1st)

(Ragunas POV)

"I wonder where Atra is." I inquired Mist.

"I haven't seen her come out of her house since Brodik left..." She trailed off.

"Every time I go to her house she isn't there. I even went into her house once and she wasn't there." I was starting to get worried. I didn't know Atra felt so strongly about him. Some friend I am. Did she leave to find him? Why would Brodik leave now? He knows more then anyone how Atra has changed lately. Doesn't he want to be there for her? The way he looked at her and constantly talked about her so highly, didn't he care for her?

"Do you think we should go look for her? She's been gone a long time. Maybe she's hurt." Mist asked.

"Yeah, let's go. I'll have to get someone to look after my farm for the next few days. I don't think we'll be going out on a day trip." I started to plan.

At about six in the evening I had finished paying Erik to look after my farm and getting ready, Mist and I set out on our journey to retrieve our missing friend.

(Atra's POV)

My condition is getting worse. I switched my two ponytails and into one. My hair which use to be up to my chin only two weeks ago was now wavy, flowing and down to my waist. I've been having violent thoughts a lot more lately. I almost killed a seven year old girl for bumping into me while she was playing. The people I had once trusted and loved were now enemies in my mind. I felt dark and unclean. I felt lonely like I did in ...Lumen. Unsure of where I was going before I now realized which direction I was heading in. More violent thoughts were flowing to my head. ' I'm going to kill them. All the people that had made my life a living hell. Those who didn't accept me for who I was, their going to accept me now or they'll die'. An immense headache came to me and I fell to the ground. Whatever was inside of me wanted to head to Lumen. I had enough force to control my body and I moved the other way. I was able to do that a lot more now, control my body I mean. Deep in my heart I knew this wasn't a good thing. I heard someone walking behind me. I turned around to find an old man.

"Excuse me miss could you tell me wher-" Blood splattered all over my clothes and the old man fell to the ground. I retreived my hand and tasted the blood on my new claws.

"H-huh... I-I j-just...that old man...I...did I?" I just murdered an old man! I looked back down at my impure hands. My eyes quickly glazed over with tears. What's happening to me. Why did I...?

(Brodiks POV)

Ever since I started coming around Atra she's changed. Was she changing because of me? It had to be me. It only happened when she came around me. She used me? What does that mean. Those things she said. She was serious. She really did find me annoying and useless. She only used me. That's fine. If she's one the one using me I don't care. I was hurting her. It's best that I don't come around her anymore, for her sake. If not something bad might happen to her. I can't stand that. No matter how much she hates me I could never hate her. Leaving was the best thing to do. It's better for her if I'm not around.

The cart I was on started slowing down and I heard familiar voices outside. They were talking to the driver.

"Could you please give us a lift? Even if it's only for a little while." I heard the boy ask.

"It would really help us out!' The girl said.

"Sure, there is plenty of room in the back with the other passenger!"

"Thank-you so much!" The girl said

"Yes, thank-you," said the boy. Two familiar faces then appeared in front of me. They must have been just as shocked to see me as I was them.

"Brodik. Brodik where have you been? Where are you going? Why are you going this way? When did you leave? Have you seen Atra? Are you wearing any underpants? If so can I have them?What's your favourite colour?Will I ever stop asking you questions?" Mist shot out the questions making it sounded like one big word.

"I-It's none of your business where I'm going. I left quiet awhile ago, didn't you notice? No I have not seen Atra, why do you ask?' I tried to answer her questions but forgot what half of them were.

"You meen she hasn't found you?" Raguna asked.

"Found me?" I asked confused.

"Raguna, maybe it's possible that Atra didn't leave to find Brodik." Mist said.

"What do you mean? She left? Left where?" I asked becoming panicked.

"That's what were trying to figure out ourselves. Atra has been missing the last nine days without a note or goodbye. She just disappeared." Raguna said. What was he talking about? She's gone?

"She might be really hurt, Brodik please help us find her. We're very worried," Mist begged. No I can't. The reason I left was so I could keep her safe. Yet this happened even in my absence. What would happen if I were to see her again? Is it possible that this isn't my fault after all? Then I would be able to stay with Atra! I forgot... she doesn't like me anymore...That doesn't matter! I still want to protect her from whatever is causing her greif.

"All right I'll help bring Atra back." I declaired. I noticed that Raguna was looking far off into the distance. I followed his gaze to a glowing orange light in the distance. Arising from the glow was dark smoke. It looked like a fire! It seemed to be coming from a town.

"Let's check it out guys!" Raguna said. We had agreed we would. We told the driver to take the fastest route to the town.

(Atra's POV)

"Burn you pathetic excuses for life, HaHaHaHa! Burn!" The people of Lumen were running around in a frenzy. Men were running, woman were screaming and children were crying. Being the reason for this chaos gave me great delight. I continued to run my sword through people.

"Malum, lend me your powers so that I can send you these grieving souls!" A dark light erupted from my sword and completely obliterated everyone and thing in it's path. I have never felt so alive! The fires around me grew bigger and hotter by the second. I felt a wave of power run through me and all fires turned into a beautiful black. I will wake this world for Master Malum even if it means destroying the human population village by village. 'No leave them alone!' Solis screamed. I have still yet to destroy Solis. I can't complete my mission for Master Malum as long as she's around. I need to taint her heart just a little more. That Brodik man got most of the job done but he is no longer of use to me.

"Solis. Look around you! This is what you did" I shouted.

"No it's not. This is all your doing!" She tried defending herself.

"Solis you fool! We are one in the same! We share our movements, our thoughts and our feelings. We are Atra!"

"No I am Atra! You are not me." She started to cry.

"Fool, you refuse to see the truth that is right inside you!" I sent another powerful attack from my sword killing about thirty more people.

"Solis, we are the same person, we always have been and we always will be, you are a part of me and nothing will ever change that!"

"No!"She continues to be so blind.

"It doesn't matter now. You will see it and believe it soon enough." With that I cut out her ability to speak.

There was one person I have yet to see. I made my way to my 'home'. I walked down the streets not seeing a single person alive. I had finally reached my destination. I opened the door. In the corner of the room was a woman in her late thirties. She was wearing a blue dress and had her hair in to buns at the side of her head.

"Atra...?" The fear in her eyes was very apparent. I slowly made my way over to her and raised my sword above my head.

"Hello? Are there any survivors?" A voice called out in the distance, I could recognize these voices anywhere.

"Hello?" mist called out. Damn, looks like I'll have to cut this visit short.

"I didn't hate you as much as I did everyone else so I'll let you live longer." I left as quickly as I could.

(Ragunas POV)

"Help, help me!" Someone called in the distance. We ran over there as fast as we coud hoping we were'ny going to be too late. We followed the cries until we came to a large house. A woman with brown hair done up in buns came stumbling out.

"Atra, sh-she killed everyone!" My heart jumped in my chest.

"Wh-what? Describe her, how do you know her name?" I pressed for answers.

"She's my adoptive daughter. She is short, wearing a purple dress, has long blonde hair, and purple eyes." It didn't sound too much like Atra but I had to make sure.

"Do you know where she just came from?" I asked.

"She sent me a letter about a month ago, she told me she's living in a place caled 'Trampoli'." We were definitely talking about the same person.

"Your'e lying!" Brodik shouted.

"Brodik! You know more then any of us that Atra has been changing. For all we know this could be the real Atra or a possessed Atra. We'll have to find her in order to find out" Brodik averted his eyes.

"There is a cart not to far from here on the west side of town in the plaza. Get the driver to get you out of here." Mist suggested. The woman nodded her head and ran for the west side of town.

I looked over to Brodik. He seemed shock and sad. I was going to comfort him but I just didn't know how.

"The fire on the south side of town seems to be smaller than the fire in the north. She probably started south and went north. We should go that way too." Mist explained. Brodik and I agreed to this and we started to make our way.

"Brodik...why did you leave?" I finally decided to ask. He thought for a moment and decided to tell us.

"I thought that maybe I was the reason for her changing and I left so she could go back to her normal self. I guess I was wrong again..." he looked dejected.

"Don't worry Brodik, we will find her and bring her back." I tried cheering him up.

"I know we will. Even if it's the last thing I do!" He grew confident.

(Solis/Light Atra POV)

I'm not strong enough. I'm not strong enough to protect myself and others. I know I shouldn't but wether I should or shouldn't, I fully beleive myself. We are slowly becoming one and it soon might be too late to turn back. No. This isn't correct. I always have been Atra. These were all the emotions I locked up inside me. These were emotions that I really felt at one time, but somehow the lock was broken and now all my inner feelings are being released. This is me. This is the real me.I am not Solis. I am Atra the servant of Master Malum!

Dear readers,

So it's late at night and imma go hit the hay then I'm going to go to my bed and sleep. So it looks like the darkness in Solis has finally taken over and now she can really call herself Atra. I'll try to update soon!
