` The Desires of Darkness



Ra looked closer at the young solar system surrounded in Serenity's light. It was beautiful, a shimmering jewel. But there was something else there that bothered him. Another presence that was close to Serenity. It was darker and much older than Serenity's powers. There was something dangerous about it, something cold. It troubled him.

Ra knew what this meant. There was another who could challenge him and this someone was close to Serenity. Very close. Someone who was almost as powerful as Serenity herself. But Ra was determined that nothing would stand between him and Serenity.

Thinking about Serenity made him anxious. He wanted her bright light for his own, he wanted her for his own. She was beautiful and strong, Ra thought as he pictured her. She would be his and no one would stand in his way.
