Chapter Four: Reflection

Satoshi was the first to recover from the shock. Timidly, he called out, "Daisuke? Will you please come out? I need to talk to you."

Daisuke slowly appeared, replacing Dark. His face was etched with disbelief and pain. "Satoshi-kun, how could Dark and Krad be related? How? How can they stand to know that they are brothers, and still be so willing to fight and be so ready to kill each other…" his voice faltered and drifted off into silence. When he raised his head, Satoshi saw that his eyes were glistening with tears, and his face was pained.

"I-I-I d-don't k-know, Daisuke, I really don't know. To be related someone, and hate them so badly, it must be tearing their hearts and souls apart. How do they stand it?" Satoshi did not whom he was asking those questions of. He was looking at Daisuke physically, but mentally, he was confronting himself. If he and Daisuke were related, would he be able to stand it? Would he be able to hate the innocent boy the way Dark and Krad hated each other?

But I don't hate him… this is just what has always been expected to do… Ever since we were created, the Niwa and Hikari families have taught us that we must hate each other, because we are the two parts of a whole thing, and the thing we were originally wanted to become two separate beings, and so we were separated. But is this really a good thing? Cannot we become one once more? And end the pain we both share? Alas, it is a fruitless attempt to mask reality. No matter how strong Satoshi and Daisuke are, they cannot fuse us if they do not know the truth… And will they really be able to accept it? Krad had his own thoughts to mind. And he didn't want Satoshi to hear. Daisuke and Satoshi didn't know, he and Dark were more than just brothers, they were the two personalities of a once great beings that the Niwas and Hikaris had destroyed. And it was shredding him from inside out to know that however much the two opposites wanted to be one again, it would never happen…

Inside Daisuke, Dark was doing the same thing. Krad…we were originally closer than brothers, but Daisuke and Satoshi don't know that. They don't know that we are the separated parts of a single celestial being. That in their fear, the Niwas and Hikaris destroyed us, and upon finding that they could not banish us, fused us into their bloodlines and forced us to hate each other. We were originally Dakaar, the celestial being that watched over the Universe, and we only came to Earth to quell the fighting that was going on. But it was all a trap. Though we have learned to love the humans who keep us apart, we still wish to fly free… to fly away and return to the place we love so… the place where we watched, and protected. Dakaar came to stop a massacre, and was instead separated, because of humanities fear of anything greater than them… and because they were jealous… jealous that we had the love of a thousand worlds, both in this reality, and in the world of art. And they destroyed us.

"Satoshi-kun, how are Dark and Krad brothers? I thought that they were created by our ancestors."

At this point, Dark and Krad could no longer take it. They manifested in all of their golden glory. Then as one they said, "Because that is a lie."

"We are the two parts of one original celestial being, Dakaar, who watched over the Universe and protected it from harm. We first came here in an attempt to stop a massacre from occurring, and fell into a trap. A trap set by your ancestors."

At this point, Dark continued the explanation, "They were scared of us because of our power. They feared anything more powerful than they, and since we could wipe out worlds in mere seconds, they destroyed us. Out of jealousy of the love of a thousand worlds that we had, out of fear for our power and out of spite that we used the power to save people. When they found that they could not completely destroy us, they fused us into their own bloodlines, and forced us to pretend that we hated each other. They destroyed us, and now, there are none left with enough strength to fuse us back into one, save the two of you. Will you help us? Please…"
