Future

With the fact that we are immortal now, I worry about company. Daisuke is a very social creature and will have difficulty if I'm the only company he won't outlive; I don't need much in the way of company as long as I have him, but I will probably eventually want someone else to talk to as well, and if it's possible to do I know he would like to have Dark back with him. I am less enthusiastic about getting our former curses out of the Black Wings, but with Krad as he's become in the two years since the sealing I think I could live with him in my mind. And even my link to Daisuke doesn't quite fill the empty place in my mind where Krad used to be, any more than I can take Dark's place in Daisuke's mind. My thoughts don't feel like Dark's any more than his feel like Krad, the thoughts of our others were still from inside, although an area of our minds we couldn't access, whereas linking between Daisuke and I is more from outside of our minds, like opening a window into another room.

Magic blew away any chance to live as a normal human, but I don't mind all that much. After all I would never have had much of a chance for a normal life even if there had been nothing left but memories of it all. I'd still be a Hikari and doomed to die young, but in the choice of magic I gained flight and a mental link to the one friend I have in all the world, I like being able to feel him thinking, and the knowledge that he is there if I need him. It's reassuring, knowing that I can count on him to always be there for me, and feeling that constant warmth of his mind. And when we soar the skies together, blown here and there on the wind, but still controlling our course I realize; no I have no regrets of what magic gave me in return for what it has taken from my line for so long.
