Taking Over Light - Part 1
A/N: Hiya Folks! Yep, I'm expanding now, writing Legend Fics. Don't worry, The Searcher Part 10 is coming through, but is a slow process, that final part is very long indeed. And I'm finishing the last part of Dragonheart: A Love Story as well. The Harry Potter fics are coming along as well, slower than I would like, but that's life. Hope you read and enjoy, and as always, please review!!! And there is a God!!! I just learned that the Legend DVD is coming out in August (been posponed since October 2000).

DISCLAIMER: Everything Legend belongs to Universal. Anyone that is not from the movie (Except Tic, he got killed in the Editing room), is mine. Not making any money aout of this, so please don't sue.


Once, long ago...

before there was such a thing as time, the world was shrouded in Darkness.

Then came the splendor of Light, bringing life and love into the Universe, and the Lord of Darkness retreated deep into the shadows of the earth, plotting his return to power.... by banishing Light forever.

But precious Light is protected, harbored into the souls of Unicorns, the most mystical of all creatures. Unicorns are safe from the Lord of Darkness, they can only be found by the purest of mortals

....Such a mortal is Jack, who lives in solitude with the animals of the forest. A beautiful girl named Lily loves Jack with all of her heart. In their innocence, they believe only goodness exists in the world.

Together they will learn there can be no good without evil... No love without hate... No heaven without hell...
No Light without Darkness.

The harmony of the Universe depends upon an eternal balance.
Out of the struggle to maintain this balance comes the birth of
Legends….






It was a beautiful spring morning. The breeze playing in her dark brown hair, the ends of her gold-trimmed white dress floating in the wind, as she danced in circles with her eyes closed in the flower filled meadow. A pair of strong arms surrounded her waist, and lifted her, making her open her eyes in fright.

Seconds later, she recognized who it was, and with a hint of annoyance, she screamed "Jack, put me down right now!"

She could feel him chuckle, and say "I will, if you promise to give me a kiss!"

She was getting tired of this, "Jack, you know very well I can't do that! Put me down!"

He sighed with resignation, and put her down carefully. Once her feet touched the floor, she turned around to her friend, a frown crossing her face.

Giving him an angry glare, she said "Why must you insist in trying to make me kiss you? You know very well that I can't and why."

Her brown eyes turned softer, and she calmly said, "You will always be my friend, Jack, but that's all you can be. It can't be any other way."

Green eyes looked at her with sadness, and he said, "I can't help it! I lo…"

His sentence was cut short by her placing her fingers on his lips, silencing him, making her respond, "Don't say it, Jack. You don't really love me. You are in love with love itself. Believe me, I know."

Taking her staff that was left on the floor, she said, "Come, let's sit down under the oak tree and talk."

Giving her a mischivieous grin, he said "Why I don't better race you? Winner kisses the loser!", and he started sprinting towards the old oak tree.

She only yelled "Jack!", and lifting her skirts, started running as well while laughing, trying to keep up with him.

Somehow, she managed to get to the oak tree before him, and laughing still, she said "I win!"

His eyes were bright, and said "Where's my kiss?"

Rolling her eyes, she said, "I will give you a kiss, but this will be the only one. Close your eyes."

Closing his eyes and puckering his lips, Jack waited for the kiss. Smiling mischivieously, she stood up in tiptoes and gave him a very chaste kiss on the cheek.

He opened his eyes as soon as he felt the kiss, looking at her very disappointed, "That's it?"

She looked at him and said "Even that can get me in trouble, so be happy with it."

Sitting down under the shadow of the huge tree, she said curiously, "So, where were you that you were late today? I thought you were not coming at all."

His eyes became bright while he stared into nothingness, remembering the earlier events of that day, "I met the princess today. She seems pretty nice. Actually, she reminds me a lot of you."

She arched an eyebrow, and said "She does? Good. Maybe you'll stop bothering me and try to kiss her for a change."

He tried in vain to give her a mock undignified look, but Jack could not stop himself from smiling, "You think she'll have me? I'm just a wild boy, she is a princess."

She smiled knowingly, and said "If her heart is pure, she will not let something like that stop her."

A wailing could be heard from the distance, sounding very similar to the sound of whales.

The girl looked up to the direction of the sound, and said "Well, is time for me to go. The unicorns need to go back home. Good-bye, Jack, and good luck with the princess. What is her name?"

He could not help smiling again while thinking of the princess he met today, and simply said "Lily. Her name is Lily."

Grabbing her staff, she stood up and waving good-bye to her friend, ran to meet the unicorns she was born to protect. The unicorns gladly went to her and nuzzled her for some petting.

She absentmindedly pet the unicorn's nuzzles, while she kept musing to herself "Lily, Lily, why does that name sound familiar?"

Shaking her head, she dismissed the thoughts from her mind, and turned to the unicorns. Giving them a smile, she mounted bareback one of them, and said, "Let's go home."

Holding her staff, she concentrated on the crystal sphere floating inside the hollowed circle on top of the staff, the bottom of the circle representing a crescent moon and the top of the circle the sun.

The crystal grew brighter, and they were enveloped in light, making them disappear from the mortal realm.

Someone else was looking at them through a magical mirror, bright green cat eyes focusing attentively at the young girl while she disappeared with the unicorns.

He smiled, white rows of pointed teeth showing through black lips, "Ah, my lovely unicorn lady, one day you shall be mine. One day Darkness will take over Light, and your friend Jack will be perfect for the job."

An evil laugh spread through the place, giving anyone who heard it a taste of things to come
