The Sisters started to run about and yell at each other. She screamed at
them, and they all stopped what they were doing to look at Her.
"This can't happen. Darkness cannot mate with Light. The child would be the
end of the world if Darkness got a hold of it, and taught it His ways. Even
if Darkness doesn't ever get hold of the child, it would be so torn in
soul, not knowing if it should be Light or Darkness, then it would get
angry, and it would destroy a good portion of the world, before destroying
itself. No, Darkness and Light must never mate."
I looked around, and wondered if they were so dense that they didn't hear
that I wanted to kill Vagnone not marry him. I stood up, and She looked up
at me.
"Don't worry about it, I won't ever have anything to do with Darkness. I
want to destroy it, not mate with it. I thank you for your kindness, but I
left my husband and friends in a very odd way, and I think that they might
be worrying about me. Don't worry I won't tell them were I have been, or
anything if you don't want me too."
She nodded, and walked me to the edge of the woods were Shand was pacing
along with Katata and Mutate. The rest were sitting in the grass, not
talking, just looking into the woods. Shand stopped pacing when he saw me,
and ran up to the woods. I turned to Her, and gave Her a hug. She walked
away from me, and I could still see Her, for Her glowing.
I walked out of the woods, and kept walking, thinking about what I had just
learned. The others didn't touch me, think that I had that force around me
again, but they walked with me. I walked into the inn, and up the stairs
into my room. I sat down on the bed, and fell over so my face hit the
pillow. I closed my eyes, and when I opened them again Shand was standing
over me.
He moved his hand slowly, but when he touched my skin, he moved his other
hand and rubbed my arm. He looked up at the others and smiled.
"She back, from where I don't know, but she's back and that's all that
matters."
Shand lifted my feet and put them onto the bed, and pulled the covers over
me. He stroked my hair, and I fell into a dream.
