Inner Light

Willow Rosenberg touched the scythe and something happened. She felt the world spinning as if it was a tunnel. When the spell started, Willow seemed to be trapped in the tunnel, and couldn't get out. The darkness slowly moved in to envelop her and she was horrified. Her mind flashed and she remembered the time when the rage and hatred gotten to her. The darkness had blinded her and wrapped around her like a mummy. This time, she didn't stop. She ran.

As she ran, she saw something at the end of the tunnel. A spot of light seemed to be shinning in the distance. So she ran harder. Even when she was tired and scared, she didn't stop. The determination gave her the courage to keep going. She told herself not to succumb to the path that led her to destruction. Finally, she came to the end of the line. She stopped to embrace the light that engulfed her. And finally, the world stopped spinning and the darkness was gone.

The spell was done, and she had found her true inner light.
