Wizeman nods in assent. An example must be made. And so, a roaring, swirling mass of Nightmaren flies out from his court to bring back the renegade prince. Reala, out of spite, merges with Chris and leads the howling pack.
NiGHTS barely has enough time to force Emmalina awake before the horde is upon him. They beat him within an inch of his life and take him before Wizeman, who sentences him to imprisonment in the Ideya Palace for all eternity. Chris, his usefulness gone, has his Ideya torn out again and wakes up back in his room, gasping for air.
Emmalina is already standing by the door, her things packed into a small suitcase. They stare at each other for a moment. Neither is really certain what has happened, but both know that no words are needed. He cries. She leaves. They are both alone.
06 - Where Light Is As Darkness
Emmalina:
Even with the wind gone
I can hear a bird's song
Whistling the spirit of the air
Even in the sunshine
There's a cloud in my mind
Shadow of the memories we shared
Oh, is this the way we must survive,
With only pain to tell us we're alive?
So, I don't think that I'll sleep again
Just watch the sun go down and then
Try not to think of flying with a friend
Chris:
Sitting by the window
Watching all the cars go
Wishing for your face in every one
Sitting on the bedside
Where your head would once lie
Knowing that it never will again
Oh, is this the way that love must end,
Without a chance, before it could begin?
So, I don't think that I'll sleep tonight
Just slip in bed and kill the light
And die inside a little at a time
NiGHTS:
Star light, star bright
But I see no star tonight
I wish I may, I wish I might
Live; to see you one more night
Star fine, star mine
Let me see you one last time
I will go, and I will fly
Anywhere to see you shine
My light (E: I cannot go on like this)
My life (C: There is no more forgiveness)
One try (E: I'd die to give it to you)
One night (C: How can I live without you?)
Can make it all alright
Now I'm star blind
Standing in the light divine
Smallest sun, brightest sign
Stay forever, make me thine
My light (E: I'll shine for you forever)
My life (C: You're shining in the ether)
One try (E: I'd fall from heaven for you)
One night (C:All of yourdreams will come true)
Will make it all alright
