Chapter 11: Hart

Cat stayed for the rest of the week. It was kind of neat, getting reknow my sister. I even found out that we have a lot of things in common. We are both short and have brown hair, both of us are terrified of the dark, and our magic often backfires.

The only differences between us was our personality and the kind of magic we use. I use Light Magic, while she uses Black Magic. She was really eccentric while I was kinda shy. I then began to wonder if all the people from her universe were that crazy. Or maybe it's just her.

After I warmed up to her I finally found the chance to ask her about the 'Hart of Darkness' thing.

"Oh, you mean the 'Hart?'" She asked, "It's a long story, but I'll try my best to summarize it..."

Long ago, there was a heart of light and darkness. Who ever controlled it controlled the balance in the world. A fair king held it in his hands for many years.

When he died, it fell into the hands of two greedy souls. They fought over it relentlessly, until one day, it split in half. One became the 'Hart of Light' and the 'Hart of Darkness'.

They had no place to reside, so they became our hearts. If someone were to recombine these 'Harts' they could either bring this world to an unbalanced darkness, or an unbalanced light.

"So your saying, that it's best we keep them separated?" I asked.

"Precisely" She answered, "That's why Zeref can never get a hold of them. Ever. If he did, this world and possibly many others will plunge into an unbalanced darkness"
