Author's Notes
When reading it to yourself, drag out the "Destroy!" like Velgemon does in the dub. I can't exactly write it as dddddddddestroooooooy or something like that. Hence the italics.
This is mostly the first time Duskmon slide evolved into Velgemon.
Title nightfall, comes from, quoting from seeing as it says it so much better than me: "In literature, night and the lack of light are often color-associated with blackness which is historically symbolic in many cultures for villainy, non-existence, or a lack of knowledge (with the knowledge usually symbolized by light or illumination)" - Ref. http:/ en. wikipedia. org /wiki/ Night (remove spaces), 12 Sep '11.
Up next is Midnight Sun. And yes, there is a such thing.
Enjoy, and tell me what you think.
Approaching Dusk
It wasn't a one step process getting there. Set during/after the Duskmon saga.

Nightfall
Light. It shines in my eyes, causing me to falter;
My swords crossed, hanging limp as they are tossed aside.
That beacon, glaring in my face, light about to destroy
That safe haven of darkness beckoning me back.
My heart pains. It beckons my fall, my grief
And then it comes, pure black, stealing my weakness.
Pain vanishes, replaced by hunger.
Insatiable hunger.
Brown wings, stiff, hard, beating against the wind,
Cutting through the air like a piercing knife.
A vulture, a bird of prey
Seeking nothing save the path that instinct calls.
Wings spread wide, circles carved,
Green eyes reflecting a starving void
Upon a ravished land and a broken soul.
Empty, save for that ravenous break.
Darkness! Beast of death!
Seek light! There, down below!
Circle around! Trap that prey!
Destroy!
