You raised the torch in your hand, holding it above your head. "I bring light, to the darkness..." You said, looking around. All you saw was darkness. You decided to take a glimpse inside the black box you were standing in. You grew frightened by what you saw; a black, thick liquid, dripping from the box, until it stopped dripping and instead fell back into the box.
You got down on your knees, and looked at the box. It looked empty, but you could see all around the box, black, faded rocks, and pieces of silver that you first thought were ashes. You stood up and ran, back tracking along your path, until you saw a cave. You ran into the cave, being scared by the same thing you were 5 minutes ago. You were scared, but you knew you couldn't die like that.
You thought that you were the last one there, in the cold, dark world. You ran, stomping your feet on the ground, making echoes inside the cave. After a long run, you stopped, and fell on your bottom. As you stared in front of you, there was a pair of large, golden eye's, with darkness surrounding it.
You froze, looking at the darkness surrounding the eye's and blinked. As you blinked, the eye's disappeared, and a figure with bright white hair engulfed in light appeared. W...who are you.? What do you want...? And where did you come from? You asked, as the figure approached you, you started to back up, but then you felt yourself falling. You closed your eyes, hoping you wouldn't die like this.
You suddenly felt a light temperature on your body, warming up your entire body with a thin layer of warmth. As you opened your eyes, you saw what the figure was holding, a torch, a torch made from a bright light, and a torch that you soon realized was your spark of life. The figure smiled, and looked at you.
It whispered to you, "I am a traveler from the true Pale, where my home is. I am the light that is in you, the light from you, from your soul and body. This something I can't describe, but you are it; you are something I have been searching for for a long time.
I found you in the dark place, but I am glad you have found me, found the light. You heard a voice in your head, as the figure was talking to you, but soon you looked away to see the light from the torch pulsing. Now, will you join us, in our quest to bring light back to the land of Margora?
"Quest? Light..? You muttered.
Oh yes, light, this is the only thing we are searching for. Now will you join us, in our quest to bring light back to the land of Margora?
As you sat back up, you looked at the figure and nodded. The figure gave you a quick kiss on the cheek and explained to you the history of their land, of their time long past. It explained that a man was born with a rare, immortal body, being free from the ageing process and that a woman was born with the gift of power. They had to learn to control them, and as they grew up, they did.
They learned to control these gifts, eventually becoming rulers of one of the smaller villages in their land. They were both skilled at controlling their gifts, and that settled the power argument.
They were both different, but they were united in their love for each other and in their love for their land and in the people of their land. The people of their land were all very prominent and powerful, everyone who had a gift was special. They were the best at what they did.
Everyone in the land was united, and everyone was fair. They felt a pressure, a pressure of something they could not explain, they felt it coming every night; every night a darkness would engulf them, and they were scared. They were scared, as they could not explain where it came from. They did not know what to do, until a traveler came, the stranger. The stranger gave them a thought.
A darkness is coming to your land, a huge darkness that will bury the Pale, the darkness does not come from this land, it comes from another land, a land far, far away. As the blood moon rises, I can teleport you there, to this land. You must help this land, you must help them find their light back. If you lose your light, you will lose yourself, you will be engulfed in darkness, you will be one of the ones who has come. You listened to the stranger; you didn't know what would happen if they lose their light.
The fire wrapped around you, as it will teleport you there. Be quick, as there is not much time left. The blood moon will rise soon. You heard the stranger say.
The stranger danced around the two, creating an orange tinge over the sky. You looked up, at the blood moon and watched it rise. You looked at the two rulers of the land, the people of their land, and you spoke, You will need my help. I will go with you. The ruler and the nightwalker looked at each other for a second, and then back to you. You are not alone, my love. The nightwalker spoke. You looked to the floor, and then back to the two.
You can't do this alone. You said, letting out a heavy sigh. The stranger spoke back, This is yours to do. You took the torch, sitting on the floor and pointing the light at the ruler. The ruler of the land and the nightwalker bowed to you.
You stood up and extended the hand of friendship, and the ruler grasped it. You then formed a circle, placing the torch in the middle, at the small of your back. You will be back, I promise. You are the light that is within us, to be back in the land of Margora will be beautiful.
You turned to look at the stranger, as you heard the voice in your head again.
Fine. The stranger spoke.
You felt a sudden surge of heat, as the fire wrapped around you, burning your back and front. You closed your eyes, still holding the hand of the ruler. After a while, the heat disappeared, and you opened your eyes, seeing a new land, a land of unfamiliar nature. You felt the emotion of excitement, as you looked around, quickly realizing you knew nothing about this land. You looked back at the land of Margora, at the ruler's hand. You let go of her hand, knowing it is safe for them now. Stay safe my friend. You said. You created two light balls, one for each hand.
