Rein's POV
"It seems the person who discovered it was consumed by the dark." said a woman.
"How terrible." replied another. Second stared at Quest who was hidden in the black mass.
"Quest undoubtly accepted the Dark Raven's power. Now he's a corrupted monstrous thing." Second stared at Quest. Quest was able to notice him in the crowd and Second seem to see that.
"Quest!" Second said as he ran towards him. Suddenly an officer stopped him before he got any further.
"Who are you?! Don't get any closer!" he commanded. "The Dark Raven is a danger to our world." he said.
Another officer came up with a paper in his hand. "In this event, all those involved are to be eliminated. He was a distant boy so those involved are unknown. You... do you know him?" Second froze in fear. He wasn't sure what to do. Quest started slowly reaching out his hand hoping that Second will grab it.
But his expression seemed to say, If... If I'm caught here... I knew what he meant. He didn't want to leave Lirin all by herself.
"I don't know anything!" Second yelled. "I don't even know who he is!" Quest's hand stopped midway. He was paralyzed at what Second had said. The expression on his face was torn. The images faded and we were back in the cage. He was similar to me.. I thought.
I turned to Quest who said, "After that, I was expelled from my home planet. I never saw Second again and I don't know what happened to Lirin."
"But Quest... How did you cure Lirin?" I asked curiously. He slumped to the ground.
"I gave her half my life force. Since I was healthy I gave her half of my life to help support her life." he said then paused.
"And you accepted the Dark Raven to support the other half you lost..." I finished. He nodded. I saw that he was silently crying.
"Heh... I don't understand why..." he said his hand to his face. He looked up again. "Hehehe..." he chuckled. "Hahahaha!"
"Quest?" I asked.
"HAHAHAHA!" he laughed louder. He sounded like a mad man. His laughs continued to to grow louder. I saw that he was on the brink of insanity.
"Quest! Calm down!" He continued to laugh. He has reached his limit. I ran up to him and hugged him. "You're not alone! You're not alone like before!" His laughters stopped. He was stunned because of my action. "You're not alone anymore. You're not alone in the darkness. I'm also here with you." I said. I backed away. He stared at me with a sad smile.
"Thank you Rein. But we are still trapped here. Comforting me won't change anything at all." he said as he looked back down. I got in a position so I could see his face. I gave him a stern stare. He flinched.
"You said we can't escape or hide. But..." I said. "You can face it. You have to overcome your fears." I said. "I already realized that I was not alone. I was only repeating past memories in the darkness. But that was the past. This is the present. I know for sure that I am no longer alone and neither are you, Quest."
"How am i not alone. Everyone resents me, my past was dreadful, how could you say I'm not alone?!" he said.
"Because I'm here with you." I replied with a smile. He gave me a blank expression then smiled in reply.
He stood up. "I think I'm ready." he said. Quest held out his hand. "Let's leave this cage." he said with a smile. I grabbed his hand and right when I did the chains around our wrists and ankles disappeared. He helped me up. Right when I stood up I heard a voice.
'Rein!' It called. 'Rein!' It said as it grew louder. I realized it was Shade's voice. The dim light in the distance grew brighter but suddenly disappeared.
"Do you think we will let you escape that easily?" said the darkness around us. Quest and I stood back to back. "As long as you continue to live new fears will arise." It said as all our current memories appeared.
"Even so," I said.
"You have to always move on from the past or else you will never see the future." Quest finished.
"Tch... You can't just leave behind your past. We are the ones who love you most." It said.
"Then come with us." I replied. It grew silent and the darkness retreated. Everything around us was now a white blank space.
'Rein!' The voice called again. Quest started walking ahead.
"Let's go. You have people waiting for you." Quest said.
"Yeah." I said. I followed behind him. I never noticed the glowing transparent wings on our backs. Everything turned white and when I opened my eyes I saw Shade's face.
"Rein!" he said as he helped me up.
"Shade! What happened to you?! Your clothes are torn and you look like a mess!" I said as I stared at him. He rubbed the back of his head.
"We were trying to get you back from Quest aka the Dark Raven. Right now Fine and Bright are stalling." he said. "We have to hurry back." I started to run towards the roof where Bright and Fine were. When I opened the door I saw that they looked the same as Shade.
"Fine! Bright!" I yelled as I ran towards them. Fine ran towards me and hugged me.
"I'm so glad you're alright Rein! I thought we had lost you forever! The black scars on your body scared me!" she said. Shade walked up to Bright.
"What's happening to the Dark Raven?" Shade asked as he looked towards Quest. I saw that Quest's hands were on his head. It seemed as though there was war going on in his mind.
"What do you think you're doing?!" the Dark Raven yelled. Somehow I heard Quest's reply.
"I'm getting my body back! I'm not going to let you take over again!" he said. I saw that on the back of the Dark Raven there were two jet black wings. But in a couple of minutes one of them turned into a transparent white wing. The war inside was still going on and Quest was winning. All four of us were watching as Quest continued to fight the Dark Raven. Suddenly things took a turn for the worst. The transparent white wing started being stained with black.
"Quest!" I yelled as I ran towards him.
"Rein, wait! It's to dangerous!" Shade yelled. But I ignored him. I didn't want to abandon Quest after I just said he was not alone. There was no way I was going to leave him behind.
I grabbed Quest's shirt and was suddenly transported somewhere. It was a flat area with chipped ground. Suddenly something came out of the ground. It was the Dark Raven.
"I won't let you escape again." it said. I tried to grab me but I barely avoided it. Out of the corner of my eye I saw a hand. I charged for it trying hard to avoid getting caught. But it grabbed my leg. And started to pull me in. But I tried to reach for the hand.
I successfully grabbed it and said, "Quest!" After that I noticed we were back in the real world. I was holding Quest's hand.
He looked confused. "Ugh... That was terrible..." he said as he placed his hand on his head. "I don't want to go through that again..." he said as he slumped to the ground. He finally realized I was holding his hand and he blushed. He then pulled it away and said quietly, "Thank you." I laughed. Shade then came up and shoved me aside.
"You better not be trying to trick her again." Shade said angrily. I started laughing even more. The thought of Shade being jealous was to much. He blushed and turned around. I noticed a bright glowing light on my back and on Quest's.
"Quest look! We finally grew our wings! We're free!" I said happily. He noticed it too and laughed.
"I guess you're right." Shade, Fine, and Bright stared at us with a confused face. I could tell they couldn't see it. I handed Quest the book of the Dark Raven.
"Here. You needed this right?" I asked. He nodded, took the book, and smiled.
"Now I can return this book to where it rightfully belongs." he said. I wonder where that is...I thought. Everyone fell to the ground out of lack of rest.
"That was a tiring day..." Fine said.
"Yeah..." everyone replied. Then we all glanced at eachother and laughed.
Most likely the next chapter is the last one. Fear not! More stories will be coming along the way! XP PS dont be mistaken by the scenes between Quest and Rein. Everything just turned out like that.
